More Ways to Connect
There's nothing
like a live event to
get a recharge of
energy from
professional-style
training.
M
aking and cultivating connections is
one of the important ways LTEN serves
its membership. In today's socialoriented world, sharing is becoming the answer
for a variety of business needs.
Call it networking if you'd like, or
collaboration, or simply making connections.
is rose, by any other name, is a sweetsmelling solution for keeping you connected to
your industry, for finding specific answers for
specific issues and for building your
professional "friends list."
But you know that. We know it too.
e first half of 2015 has been filled with
many opportunities for LTEN members to
interact, socialize and learn from one another.
Trusted colleagues are a great source of
inspiration, best practices and practical advice
on how to tackle the challenge at hand. If you
are like me, there are many times sitting at my
desk that I would love to reach out to my LTEN
network and get ideas and advice. I wish all the
members were sitting right down the hall, but
of course you're spread around the world.
e many types of live events hosted by
LTEN definitely fulfill the need to interact.
LTEN Social Media: Social media is another great way to keep
up with the latest at LTEN. LTEN has active groups on LinkedIn, you
can follow us and on Twitter, watch videos on YouTube and like us on
Facebook. Of course, you can communicate with us on any of those
social media sites. Check out these URLs:

Be sure you bookmark www.L-TEN.org for a direct connection to all the
LTEN resources!
ere is nothing like attending a live event to
help training professionals recharge and share
their energy. No disrespect intended to online
webinars (we certainly host enough!) or virtual
conferences. ose are valuable learning
opportunities and they can be taken to the next
level, but nothing yet has fully replaced the
advantages of "pressing the flesh" and
interacting one-on-one or through in-person
gatherings.
Looking at LTEN offerings, I am excited
about the many live certificate programs, the
LTEN Medical Device and Diagnostic Trainers
Summit, our annual conference and the
networking mixers we host. Many of these inperson learning opportunities, including the
MD&D Summit, are still coming in the
remainder of 2015. Be sure to check out the
calendar at www.L-TEN.org/events to see what
live event is coming to your part of the world.
Of course, there simply are times when live
interaction is not practical. Sure, you can
always pick up the phone and pick the brain of
one of your LTEN colleagues, but many
business needs call for a plethora of ideas from
a broad swath. In fact, members have told us
they would like a private place to discuss
training matters.
LTEN has launched a new members-only
chat board that brings those connections to
your desktop. On the chat board at www.LTEN.org/chat, you can jump into a
conversation to share ideas and/or pose your
own questions or discussion topics. To
participate, you must be logged into the site,
ensuring it remains a members-only place to
converse.
I hope to greet you soon at an LTEN live
event, but in the meantime I hope to hear from
you and converse with you through a virtual
solution.
See you there! ■
