Training Now! Cast & Crew
At a recent taping, the following ASTD-Lincoln members gathered:
Seated, from left to right: Jeanne Baer from Creative Training Solutions (previous host of Training Now!) and guest panelists Matt Jewell from Union Bank; Gayle Cox from the Nebraska Health and Human Services System; Keith Stoneman from Ameritas; and Sarah Kahler from the University of Nebraska Foundation. Standing: Jennifer Benson from Mourning Hope (previous producer of Training Now!) and Michael Merritt from the Learning Network at the Nebraska Medical Center (director of Training Now!).

ASTD–Lincoln produces a monthly public access TV show through Time Warner Cable's Community Access program called "Training Now!" with host, Susan Meyerle. Our 30 minute show is formatted in four segments. Here’s what you can look forward to, from each one of our shows:

  • Career Treks - Learn about the dozens of ways that T&D (that’s Training and Development) practitioners make a living. You’ll meet some remarkable people, doing interesting work, and you’ll find out how they ended up in this field, and what education and experience is required to do the job.
  • Training Treasures - Features a “treasure” in the form of a book, a training video, a CD, even a website, which we consider especially helpful. Training resources are definitely a treasure -- often worth more than money!
  • Training Topix - “Top picks” of the stories we think would interest you. We’ll bring you “big picture” stories about issues and trends, as well as “small picture” stories, about ways to improve your own skills. The “top pick” may be the story of ASTD entering its 6th decade as an international mover and shaker in workplace performance, or how you can improve productivity at all those meetings you attend, or even how to spice up your training programs with magic tricks!
  • Training and Development: Q&A - Short solutions to some “crisis” training situations.

Along the way, we’ll also let you know about events that the ASTD-Lincoln chapter is sponsoring.

Find out how you can become a sponsor of “Training Now!” by contacting Michael Merritt, Director at 402.559.8945 for as little as $25.
