ASTD has declared December 8-12 as Employee Learning Week (ELW) to increase awareness of the value of learning.

Mr. Samuel A. “Sammie” McKenzie has passed away at age 87.  Although he had been unable to join us for the last four – five years, many of us remember him fondly.  He served the ASTD Baton Rouge Chapter for so many years as an active member, board member, and volunteer, even in advanced age.  I will remember his kindness, his wisdom, his smile, and the tender care he always showed Ms. Laverne when she would join him at meetings and social occasions.  He loved to come to membership meetings, and I remember a number of times his smiling face at registration tables for meetings and special events, or just eating dinner together at holiday socials.  He especially enjoyed being part of the ASTD 60th Celebration, and we enjoyed him being there. 

 

 

The star performers in life repeatedly look for ways to take what they do to greater levels.  Regardless of the industry or profession, they consistently look for methods to ensure that their difference still makes a difference.

The Total Trainer Makeover provides that opportunity, and more, for you.  In this seminar you will assess many components of your training style and approach including mindset, energy level, classroom management, storytelling, openers and closers, presentation skills, materials, visual aid use, and variety.

ASTDBR is a proud supporter of Adult Literacy Advocates of Greater Baton Rouge.
