Learning sometimes can be puzzling.  Take for example the launch of our new website.  We planned it, we helped design it.  

Last week on the 5th of May (disappointingly not the 4th of May, so that he could say May the Fourth be with you), our very own Rob Skeet, Partner, CTO and presenter extraordinare provided an Emerge style oveview of Learning in the 21st Century at the Enform Petroleum Safety Conference, Banff, Canada.  You can view Rob's presentation by clicking on this link http://prezi.com/vv1tfkjq1owx/21st-century-learning/ If you are wondering what on earth Luke Skywalker has to do with 21st Century Learning then the presentation you must view!…

Following our presentation at this year's Human Resources Institute of Alberta (HRIA) conference in Edmonton, we have launched the supporting website. http://whatceosreallywantfromhrleaders.com Team Emerge Learning

Introduction On April 28th, 2011 a room of about 100 people will be eagerly anticipating the answer to the question what do CEOs Really Want from HR leaders?  So why then might HR leaders want to know what CEOs really want from them?  Regardless of whether you have or haven’t registered for this session, read on for a taste of what the session will offer.

                  I came to our blog this morning to write  about our forthcoming session at the  Human Resources Institute of  Alberta (HRIA) Conference on 28th April 2011.  However, I then realised that today is in fact April Fool's Day and that whatever I wrote may actually be mis-interpreted as a hoax, joke or even complete fallacy.   I will return to write about our session at the HRIA Conference, which is called 'What CEOs…

I've just returned from a thoroughly engaging event hosted by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP).  The guest speaker was self-confessed political right winger, Ezra Levant, author of Ethical Oil. The highly articulate Mr Levant provided an almost evangelical overview of why Canadians and Albertan's should be not just be proud but also promote their Oil Industry.  Levant has provided the conventional energy industry with a 21st Century licence to operate and the Government of Canada with a compelling spin on how to promote it's…

Last week I attended a session called 'Women in Leadership' hosted by the Calgary chapter of the Strategic Capability Network.  Despite being of the female gender myself I have never been a huge fan of sessions exclusively focussed on one gender or the other.  Unless, of course we are talking about Women's health!  There was a panel of six females from different areas of the business world: Sippy Chhina, Partner at Deloitte, Allison Love, VP and Corp Secretary at Enbridge, Debbie Toole, HR Director at ATCO Structures and Logistics, Helen…

Never let it be said that we here at Emerge Learning can't laugh at ourselves.

Our courses range from safety training to leadership performance to training for specialized industries and much, much, more.…
