Do you build training aligned with a competency / proficiency model?

I’ve been working with two clients both asking for training to align with models they made or adopted, and I wonder if this is common in your industry?

  1. Created their own competency and proficiency model, white collar, internal research type jobs in healthcare.
  2. Adopted an industry standard for skilled trades. Use the parts relevant to their jobs.

I’d be interested in understanding if you work from one that existed or created one…or don’t work from these at all.

I’d assume if your company or industry has a credentialling system, you would build alignment. If not, I figure it might be less common to have one.

Step up vs Stair Climb for stadiums

What would you recommend as best exercise in app?

Stadiums: Walk or run up and down the stairs in a stadium.

Edit: I used Stair climb (steps). I broke the stairs into sets (4x up and down = 1). I tracked the time of each set separately. Worked like a charm. Now, the calories will be off and exercise title is wrong but those are small potatoes Peter.

  1. Step ups: app tracks reps, not duration, but exercise includes the down motion. It’s a strength exercise.
  2. Stair climb (steps): app tracks time and steps. But intended for machine and no down step counting. It’s a cardio exercise.

I’m think Stair climb and counting down steps as steps.

I have a huge football stadium. I can run up stairs, down, down the entire bowl.

Tread should include incline and weights

A small feature update I’d love is ability to track the incline on the treadmill and if it was done with weight.

I’ve notice many lifters are using incline walks as their cardio. Some do it with a weighted vest, some carry kettles.

I’ve seen similar comments on things like hiking/ruck and stair climbing.

I’m not suggesting massive conversion to make the app focus in endurance. Strava owns that market.

But added weighted cardio or data inherent to the equipment would be in keeping with Hevy’s reason for being.

Let lifters add weight to their cardio exercises.

Lovin the app

First time St Aug!

Got to introduce my 17 year old to the BK in St Augustine FL. Ya buddy!!! Real dudes with a guitar and drums…seeing Dans face light up with he went head to head with Eddie 9Volt was awesome.

Not a lot of crowd work. Patrick was pretty stoic as expected and Dan just moved it along….but great time. Love to go again.

Why do the police set speed traps instead of just making it obvious they are present?

If goal is to get people to obey the speed limit, why don’t cops turn their lights on and set up in clear vision of drivers. Drivers will slow down.

If you set up a trap you get 1 person. While you track them down, give the ticket and set up again 199 more people blast through speeding.

And the $250-400 ticket for that one person doesn’t cover the actual cost of being out there in the first place. Salary, Bennie’s, gas, cost of car, computer system etc. and if the ticket is $60? Puhleeze.

Conversely, you could be salient…and 99 of 100 cars slow down.

I get it might be a revenue generator…but I feel like they are constantly chasing revenue, always have budget shortfalls and are not effective at actually slowing traffic.

What player had the shortest but most impactful prime of their career on your club, league or country?

Looking for the players that may have been considered among the best in the world or league at their very peak, but it didn’t last long at all (maybe 5 years before injury, rapid skill erosion, just stopped caring).

They now might be considered on of your country’s best ever talents but career was too short to be in the goat conversation.

Formula that turns pigeons into apex predators

A special formula added to chia seeds or bread that turns an ordinary pigeon into an apex pterodactyl like predator that terrorizes urban city scapes. No human or pet is safe!

Chalkidiki is terrific for families

We travel to Greece each summer and this year decided on Chalkidiki.the second “leg” is where we ended up.

Every beach was very family friendly with numerous families from Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania etc that drove here. Equal number of older travelers.

Everyone heads to the islands. But I am in a chair with water as clear as any island, Mt Athos directly across. You can’t get a view like that on any island.

Every beach is clear. Most organized. Many young families. Taverns, particularly the psarotavernas are terrific. Finding prices of most things better than the islands.

We rented a boat for the day for 100E. The entire day. Road around a nearby island exploring multiple beaches. Swam in the Blue Lagoon. So serene, mainly quiet. Great for our family of 4. Boat rentals everywhere. As many renters as hotels it seems.

And we didn’t take a ferry to get here! Rented a car, easy peasy. No sea sickness worries. No questions of luggage storage. No concern over the number of tourists wanting a view of the sunset.

We’ve hiked Olympos twice, stayed in Platamonas and now Chaldikidi.

I’m sold on the north.

Keep LMS or invest the spend in training

This was brought up to me by a customer. Their L&D budget is sizable and they are a >5k employee company. A high percent of the budget is the LMS and they got a quote for transitioning to a new one coupled with the time it will take.

The turnover rate is 20-30%, which is decent in the industry.

So they ask whether it would make more sense to invest the LMS budget directly in training as tracking on LMS seems to be a fruitless exercise that benefits the few long tenured folks and they can get data in other ways for what they need.

Thoughts?

Athens - jump off rocks into sea

We are in an Athens suburb and looking for swimming ideas. Last year we went to Varkiza, “kids” now 17/20 found a place to jump from rocks.

Looking for something similar. Open to drive to Marathonas/Nea Makri or along Riviera, we’ve been to Porto rafti to give idea of radius.

Just something a bit different than beach.

Thanks!

Tap to Pay Metro

You can tap your bank card or CC at the metro station in Athens to pay. Apparently on busses too.

So I’ve been coming for 20 years. We stay 3 weeks. We’ve always just bought the paper ticket at the machine or from an attendant.

But today? Used my card. Tapped same way you tap your pass. WHEN DID THIS START!?!

That’s a nice and rare efficiency win for Greece and Athens! Of course the passport control auto kiosks haven’t launched and the line for the Archaeological museum was goofy today. But I’ll take the win.

Why does male pattern baldness create a band around then head?

Why is it a band? Why doesn’t the pattern start bottom up? Why the uncle cut look? Is there a scientific evolutionary reason?

Awning recommendations

2023 Outback. I’m interested in recommendations for awnings that extend from the roof rails beyond those sold by Subaru. Not tents, the side awnings.

Planning on hitting SEMA this year. I went last year but didn’t have the Outback yet.

Just looking for something easy to set up, block the sun while chilling on a road trip or beach.

Thx.

I feel like I should do more. I hear “there is always something” that needs doing when you have a home.

I’m not particularly handy. I’m pretty satisfied with the state of things. I’m ok just maintaining inside and out with my teens.

But I feel like I should have a project…and not sure why. Am I just lazy? Am I settling?

Do you have projects on the go?
