Use insights from outside the business to rethink workplace learning in order to drive individual and team performance. Workplaces are not the only setting where employees learn. They are learning constantly in all areas of their lives. The problem is that learning and development (L&D) practitioners don't know how to apply the experiences from outside the traditional business setting to improve employee learning and drive business results. Adjacent Learning is a practical guide which solves this problem. Topics covered include acting, difference and emotion through to language, observation and storytelling and explains how these can be used to deliver more effective workplace learning. There is also expert guidance on the importance of employees understanding the 'why' and 'how' of learning, as well as why it's essential to consider experiences from other countries and industries to create diversity of thought which generates the best possible results. Reflection points and key takeaways are included in every chapter as well as interviews with leading figures in the L&D industry. This practical guide is also full of advice, tips and examples throughout to help L&D professionals design a robust learning strategy that will allow employees and the business to thrive.

Storm Phase A teenage wizard burdened with a mysterious destiny, a cat-girl ninja he can't help but fall for, and a bat-winged daemon that doubles as a diary embark on a journey of self-discovery in a world teeming with monsters and magic. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Avatar: the Last Airbender, this enchanting Asian-inspired fantasy series delivers fast-paced adventure for readers young and old. Book 4: The Blood King's Apprentice Turesobei swore he would get his friends home, but the only way out is through a mad god. The Blood King slept for millennia. Now, thanks to Turesobei, he has awoken and resumed his quest for an ancient, dangerous secret. Worst of all, the Blood King demands that Turesobei help him or watch his friends suffer. While Turesobei is forced to learn magic far beyond him, his friends are being trained to fight, and even Iniru can't meet the Blood King's exacting standards. The Blood King will turn them into a team capable of unlocking his prison...or kill them trying. The pressure pushes everyone to the breaking point. And Turesobei's inability to choose just one girl only makes matters worse. Stuck between the Blood King's whims and jealous girlfriends, Turesobei isn't sure which he'd rather face. Either way, he's running out of time.

The Blood King's Apprentice

Wry, intimate, and startlingly imaginative, the stories in this debut bring a sharpness, and a strangeness, to the everyday.
