Want to become a
Learning
Entrepreneur™?
Explore how inside…
They require new skills, new behaviours
and a change in mind-set to respond to
this new complexity. These new
expectations are captured in the role of
the Learning Entrepreneur™.
“Learning
Entrepreneurs deliver
business success
through innovative
learning solutions. They
are business savvy and
have confidence, insight,
credibility and gravitas…
across the organisation.”
If you want learning to be valued in your
organisation, and we mean
, then everything you find in
these pages is designed by us with you in
mind….
It’s not rocket science.
At we believe the
right learning interventions can
enable poorly performing
organisations to become market
leaders.
So why is the crucial role learning
plays in business success simply not
recognised?
The learning landscape has changed
dramatically over recent years. Short
business specific learning has
replaced lengthy classroom based
courses. The emergence of multi
device platforms and growth of
social learning, all contribute to a
complex learning environment.
This means that learning
professionals must also
change if they are to
support their business
learners.

Step 1
Immerse your team in the Learning Entrepreneur™
System
We realised they needed to adopt some of the mind-set and key behaviours of
entrepreneurs.
Hence we arrived at the concept of the Learning Entrepreneur™ Page 5
4 Critical Skills to be a
Learning Entrepreneur™
Each with 3 underpinning behaviours
Promote
is about speaking to
the business about
learning in a way that
generates momentum,
gains traction and
delivers results. The
behaviours ensure that
we grab attention and
create an insatiable
passion for learning
across the whole
organisation.
Deliver
enables you to create
learning solutions that
generate a buzz and
excitement around the
organisation that can’t
be ignored!
The behaviours ensure
these solutions deliver
real, commercial
improvements.
Pinpoint
enables you to harness
your own
resourcefulness to
solve the problems that
matter to the business.
The behaviours ensure
you focus on the right
things, filter out
distracting noise and
pinpoint what will really
make a difference.
Connect
recognises that learning
doesn’t exist in a
vacuum; working
collaboratively with all
areas of your business
enables really great
learning solutions. The
behaviours ensure you
connect ideas,
information and people
in a way that creates
powerful sustainable
partnerships.

Creating a compelling
vision
People are inspired by dreams
and ideas, just remember the
speech by Martin Luther King
in 1963 which began 'I have a
dream..' In business, the
dream for the future is
communicated through a
vision. But to have a vision is
not enough, it needs to be
compelling.
To be valued, learning needs to
feature as prominently as the
budget and sales forecasts; it
needs to be up there with key
strategic projects and setting
the direction for the
organisation. The first step in
giving learning its rightful place
in organisational strategy is to
ensure you have a vision for
learning which those in
positions of power can buy
into.
Make it short and memorable
Write in the future tense, make it easy to understand
Use emotive language that paints vivid pictures in
people's minds
Appeal to the broadest range of people
Don’t state end dates, it should stand the test of time
It should enable people to see the role they can play in
that vision
Ensure the benefits from achieving the vision are clear
Achieving the vision should be challenging but not
impossible
It should excite passion, appeal to the 'emotional self'
and make people really want to be part of the 'new world'
It should enable people to recognise 'when we get there'
It should be clear how the vision differs from the old world
It should be compelling
Check that the language you use is inspiring, adding to the excitement
and momentum.
Leaders should be able to articulate it passionately and unreservedly
believe in it, articulating it with authenticity and emotion.
Page 10
Step 2
Grow business skills and enhance your gravitas
In 2013 the CIPD Learning and Talent survey
reported that:
26%
reported they linked learning
to business strategy
ONLY
38%
of learning professionals
used business metrics to
evaluate the impact of
learning
ONLY
58% reported difficulty in
accessing data to
support any evaluation
Learning functions are often represented at board
level by the HR Director. In 2012 the Economist
Intelligence Unit identified that 58% of Chief
Finance Officers believe their Head of HR is
not of the same calibre as other C Level
executives and 67% felt their Head of
HR did not understand the business
well enough.
By association, where
is the credibility for learning?
Page 11
If the Director of
Finance is not
clear on the return on
investment for
learning, what credibility
will L&D have across
organisation?
Page 12
Our Learning
Entrepreneur™ system
A key component in our Learning EntrepreneurTM system is
the need to develop a business savvy mindset in learning
professionals. Without this learning professionals will not
have credibility in the organisation and learning will not be
valued.
Learning professionals need to understand:

Where profit is made and lost in the business

competitiveness
What affects business performance (positively
and negatively)
The different operational needs and challenges

5 Top Tips for engaging
with stakeholders
For many L&D
professionals
working in
organisations,
getting buy-in
from those in
positions of
power and
influence is
critical to your
success.
Here are 5 Top
Tips to start you
on that
successful
journey!
Go get 'em
tiger!
Assumptions are the termites of
relationships.
Are they your manager, Operations Director, senior managers, HR
colleagues, potential delegates? Or anyone who interacts and is
impacted by the learning intervention. This is also about building
relationships, developing strong networks and communicating your
successes. By doing this you begin to create advocates who can
influence the business & help you implement your vision.
This is also about really understanding how they communicate and
getting onto their wavelength.
Be clear about the outcomes of your learning intervention & importantly
how this will positively impact the business. Can you visualize the
outcomes? If you can't then they aren't clear enough, so it will be
difficult for you to communicate them to others.
People often oppose new things and they can't grasp how it will work.
By putting together a low risk 'taster' experience you will help develop
their understanding & encourage their support & quality feedback.
Adopt the mindset of a Learning Entrepreneur with power & influence to
affect change within the organisation. This helps you communicate
confidently & positively so that your learning intervention is strategically
impactful.
Page 19
Step 3
Improve the impact and value of learning solutions…
With today’s constant speed of
change within organisations,
learning designers simply have to
respond instantly or run the risk
of their solution being outdated
before it’s been rolled out.
And for many managers releasing people for
training can be a real strain on resources.
That means, as designers, we need to
ensure that events really hit the mark in
terms of knowledge, skills and attitude so
that learners return to the business all fired
up and raring to go.
Great learning comes when people want to
learn and when they can discover the
answers for themselves. This way they are
much more likely to put what they learn into
practice on the job.
The following solutions will help your team
rapidly develop solutions which astound,
amaze, engage and wow your learners.
What is your number 1
challenge when
implementing new
solutions?
I’m at the end of the food chain
here… I have to react almost
when its too late
Releasing people is a strain on
the operational areas
People are distracted and
unfocused due to weight of
work
Learners are distracted by their
phones

5 Top Tips for creativity
Innovation distinguishes between a
leader and a follower
Steve Jobs
Pick out a piece of music that when you hear it makes you feel alive,
energised and full of beans and let your body move to the music. Let
the creativity flow through your body and inspire your mind with new
thoughts and ideas.
Phone, meet or write to a friend or colleague and share your ideas and
allow them to add, extend, challenge and harmonise your ideas - just
like a real jam session.
Take the luxury time of reading an article or book on the subject you
want to be inspired about. Have a luxury bar of chocolate, cup cake or
whatever takes your fancy to make it an truly indulgent experience. But
do remember keeping up to date with trends in simply not a luxury
today, it is essential and the more you can make it pleasurable, the
more you will remember.
Give yourself permission to take the time to daydream. Focus on what it
is you want to create and allow your imagination to take flight. You can
allow your unconscious mind to do the work for you once it knows what
you want to achieve, like doing mundane tasks such as filing; give your
unconscious mind the freedom to get to work.
Surround yourself with what inspires you, such as your favourite
quotes, colours, pictures, plants, music, objects. books etc. Add
something new or change the position of your desk or chair to get a
better and fresher perspective.
As learning
professionals we
are busy creative
people, writing
new learning
programmes,
adding new life to
existing
programmes
providing learning
solutions and
facilitating
workshops - so
here are five top
tips to boost your
creativity to add
zing and zest to
your day.
Page 25
Step 4
Supporting delivery to the business
No organisation exists in a
vacuum, no department is
autonomous, no one person has
all the answers and no one
team can do it all themselves.
This is where our approach to
partnering and collaboration can
really add value to your vision for
learning.
We do this in three ways:
• Coaching
• Learning Consultancy
• Corporate Events
Let’s explore these
opportunities in more
detail……
It is what we think we
know already that
often prevents us
from learning.
Claude Bernard
Page 26
We all hit a ‘brick wall’ from time to time, unable to see what to do next. If
only we had someone to help us think it through, to ask us the right
questions to unlock the problem and release our full potential.
Coaching is effective as part of development but what about as a tool to tackle real business
problems. Wouldn’t it be great if you had someone to help you address the problems that are
keeping you awake at night? We can provide coaching at all levels of the organisation and target it
at what is of most value to you..

Coaching
Personal Development Coaching
Sometimes we know something needs to
change but can’t quite pin it down. Whether
it is confidence, performance, behaviour or
self-perception we can help you identify,
explore and grow.
Examples:
• Developing inner and outer confidence
• Performance and behaviour change
• Building female credibility
• Role Modelling and personal brand
• Promotion and career progression
Leadership Coaching
Leadership can be a lonely place. It’s a big
step from managing a team to leading an
operation. We can help elevate your thinking,
find your leadership values and realise your
vision for learning.
Examples:
• Senior Leadership development
• Learning Strategy
• Business Planning for Learning
• Leading Learning Functions
Page 27

Delivery skills
It doesn’t matter how good your content is,
learning begins with engaged learners. We
can help you develop the skills you need to
be truly inspirational to others.
Examples:
• Learning Design & Development
• Presentation and Delivery skills
• Large group facilitation
• Social Media
• Building great relationships
Management coaching
That first step into team management can
be scary. Taking on an established team
can be daunting. How can you get the most
out of your team and ensure they are seen
as positive role models for learning across
the organisation.
Examples:
• People/Team Management
• Improving Team Dynamics
• Project/Programme Management
• Organisation, prioritisation and
delegation
I never cease to be amazed at
the power of the coaching process to
draw out the skills or talent that was previously
hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a
way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.
John Russell, Managing Director, Harley Davidson Europe Ltd.

5 key principles for self-
managed learning
The role of the L&D professional in SML is now
to signpost and guide people to enable them
access their learning from reliable sources.
This means that individuals willingly take responsibility for all aspects of
their learning journey which includes deciding what they need to learn
and how they will learn it.
In the past L&D professionals have been looked to as the experts in the
subject in which they train, they had the experience, the qualifications
and the theory. The world has moved on and individuals don't have the
time, patience or inclination to wait for the professional to be available
to consult.
Organisations and individuals alike rarely have the time to wait on the
availability of training courses, often learning is needed to coincide with
the commencement of a key project or piece of work.
The majority of learning about your work is done on the job, therefore
the power of enabling peer to peer learning is evident but often not fully
utilised.
In a nutshell SML
is about
individuals taking
responsibility for
their own learning
and managing the
achievement of
learning
themselves.
This requires
them to be
committed to
their own
development and
to be the active
driver of all
activity to ensure
their own learning
needs are met.

ConnectingDots Social
We hope that everything you have read about excites you and starts you thinking
about the many ways we can help you raise the value of learning in your own
organisation.
Before we finish though we thought you would like to know a bit more about how you can keep in
touch with us via our social communities…
We offer short webinars which we advertise through our site at
www.connectingdots.co.uk/shape-up-shop/workshops/. These are short sessions
providing quick insights into topics around our Learning Entrepreneur™ system.
They are a great way to get a quick overview, join in a lively discussion and identify
areas where you might like to learn more.
We tweet and twitter about great articles, snippets and ideas we find throughout
the week. We love sharing what our fellow twitter pals have discovered and putting
our own ideas out there. Join in our conversations by following us @connectweets
Our Facebook page is full of fun and quirky ideas and snippets. It is a great place to
share ideas with us and join in our conversations in a relaxed, friendly and
collaborative way. If you are on Facebook become friends and join in with us at
/homeofthelearningentrepreneur.
A picture tells a thousand words, ain’t that the truth. We are big fans of Pinterest
and the ability to bring information to life. See what has grabbed our attention by
visiting us at /connectdots/
Email us with your ideas suggestions and queries at info@connectingdots.co.uk or
call us on 07976 628705 Both Una and Caroline are on LinkedIn and are always
happy to connect with new friends.

This means that learning professionals must also change if they are to support their business learners. Forward Page 1

  • 11. Creating a compelling vision People are inspired by dreams and ideas, just remember the speech by Martin Luther King in 1963 which began 'I have a dream..' In business, the dream for the future is communicated through a vision. But to have a vision is not enough, it needs to be compelling. To be valued, learning needs to feature as prominently as the budget and sales forecasts; it needs to be up there with key strategic projects and setting the direction for the organisation. The first step in giving learning its rightful place in organisational strategy is to ensure you have a vision for learning which those in positions of power can buy into. Make it short and memorable Write in the future tense, make it easy to understand Use emotive language that paints vivid pictures in people's minds Appeal to the broadest range of people Don’t state end dates, it should stand the test of time It should enable people to see the role they can play in that vision Ensure the benefits from achieving the vision are clear Achieving the vision should be challenging but not impossible It should excite passion, appeal to the 'emotional self' and make people really want to be part of the 'new world' It should enable people to recognise 'when we get there' It should be clear how the vision differs from the old world It should be compelling Check that the language you use is inspiring, adding to the excitement and momentum. Leaders should be able to articulate it passionately and unreservedly believe in it, articulating it with authenticity and emotion. Page 10
  • 12. Step 2 Grow business skills and enhance your gravitas In 2013 the CIPD Learning and Talent survey reported that: 26% reported they linked learning to business strategy ONLY 38% of learning professionals used business metrics to evaluate the impact of learning ONLY 58% reported difficulty in accessing data to support any evaluation Learning functions are often represented at board level by the HR Director. In 2012 the Economist Intelligence Unit identified that 58% of Chief Finance Officers believe their Head of HR is not of the same calibre as other C Level executives and 67% felt their Head of HR did not understand the business well enough. By association, where is the credibility for learning? Page 11

  • 20. 5 Top Tips for engaging with stakeholders For many L&D professionals working in organisations, getting buy-in from those in positions of power and influence is critical to your success. Here are 5 Top Tips to start you on that successful journey! Go get 'em tiger! Assumptions are the termites of relationships. Are they your manager, Operations Director, senior managers, HR colleagues, potential delegates? Or anyone who interacts and is impacted by the learning intervention. This is also about building relationships, developing strong networks and communicating your successes. By doing this you begin to create advocates who can influence the business & help you implement your vision. This is also about really understanding how they communicate and getting onto their wavelength. Be clear about the outcomes of your learning intervention & importantly how this will positively impact the business. Can you visualize the outcomes? If you can't then they aren't clear enough, so it will be difficult for you to communicate them to others. People often oppose new things and they can't grasp how it will work. By putting together a low risk 'taster' experience you will help develop their understanding & encourage their support & quality feedback. Adopt the mindset of a Learning Entrepreneur with power & influence to affect change within the organisation. This helps you communicate confidently & positively so that your learning intervention is strategically impactful. Page 19
  • 21. Step 3 Improve the impact and value of learning solutions… With today’s constant speed of change within organisations, learning designers simply have to respond instantly or run the risk of their solution being outdated before it’s been rolled out.

That means, as designers, we need to ensure that events really hit the mark in terms of knowledge, skills and attitude so that learners return to the business all fired up and raring to go.

  • 26. 5 Top Tips for creativity Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower Steve Jobs Pick out a piece of music that when you hear it makes you feel alive, energised and full of beans and let your body move to the music. Let the creativity flow through your body and inspire your mind with new thoughts and ideas. Phone, meet or write to a friend or colleague and share your ideas and allow them to add, extend, challenge and harmonise your ideas - just like a real jam session. Take the luxury time of reading an article or book on the subject you want to be inspired about. Have a luxury bar of chocolate, cup cake or whatever takes your fancy to make it an truly indulgent experience. But do remember keeping up to date with trends in simply not a luxury today, it is essential and the more you can make it pleasurable, the more you will remember. Give yourself permission to take the time to daydream. Focus on what it is you want to create and allow your imagination to take flight. You can allow your unconscious mind to do the work for you once it knows what you want to achieve, like doing mundane tasks such as filing; give your unconscious mind the freedom to get to work. Surround yourself with what inspires you, such as your favourite quotes, colours, pictures, plants, music, objects. books etc. Add something new or change the position of your desk or chair to get a better and fresher perspective. As learning professionals we are busy creative people, writing new learning programmes, adding new life to existing programmes providing learning solutions and facilitating workshops - so here are five top tips to boost your creativity to add zing and zest to your day.

  • 27. Step 4 Supporting delivery to the business No organisation exists in a vacuum, no department is autonomous, no one person has all the answers and no one team can do it all themselves. This is where our approach to partnering and collaboration can really add value to your vision for learning. We do this in three ways: • Coaching • Learning Consultancy • Corporate Events Let’s explore these opportunities in more detail…… It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning. Claude Bernard Page 26
  • 28. We all hit a ‘brick wall’ from time to time, unable to see what to do next. If only we had someone to help us think it through, to ask us the right questions to unlock the problem and release our full potential. Coaching is effective as part of development but what about as a tool to tackle real business problems. Wouldn’t it be great if you had someone to help you address the problems that are keeping you awake at night? We can provide coaching at all levels of the organisation and target it at what is of most value to you.. 2 1 Coaching Personal Development Coaching Sometimes we know something needs to change but can’t quite pin it down. Whether it is confidence, performance, behaviour or self-perception we can help you identify, explore and grow. Examples: • Developing inner and outer confidence • Performance and behaviour change • Building female credibility • Role Modelling and personal brand • Promotion and career progression Leadership Coaching Leadership can be a lonely place. It’s a big step from managing a team to leading an operation. We can help elevate your thinking, find your leadership values and realise your vision for learning. Examples: • Senior Leadership development • Learning Strategy • Business Planning for Learning • Leading Learning Functions Page 27
  • 29. 3 4 Delivery skills It doesn’t matter how good your content is, learning begins with engaged learners. We can help you develop the skills you need to be truly inspirational to others. Examples: • Learning Design & Development • Presentation and Delivery skills • Large group facilitation • Social Media • Building great relationships Management coaching That first step into team management can be scary. Taking on an established team can be daunting. How can you get the most out of your team and ensure they are seen as positive role models for learning across the organisation. Examples: • People/Team Management • Improving Team Dynamics • Project/Programme Management • Organisation, prioritisation and delegation I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.

  • 32. 5 key principles for self- managed learning The role of the L&D professional in SML is now to signpost and guide people to enable them access their learning from reliable sources. This means that individuals willingly take responsibility for all aspects of their learning journey which includes deciding what they need to learn and how they will learn it. In the past L&D professionals have been looked to as the experts in the subject in which they train, they had the experience, the qualifications and the theory. The world has moved on and individuals don't have the time, patience or inclination to wait for the professional to be available to consult. Organisations and individuals alike rarely have the time to wait on the availability of training courses, often learning is needed to coincide with the commencement of a key project or piece of work. The majority of learning about your work is done on the job, therefore the power of enabling peer to peer learning is evident but often not fully utilised. In a nutshell SML is about individuals taking responsibility for their own learning and managing the achievement of learning themselves. This requires them to be committed to their own development and to be the active driver of all activity to ensure their own learning needs are met. With SML, learning is not an add-on to the day job, it is not something to be fitted in around the workload, rather learning is part of, and integral to, working. Page 31
