If you're looking for a blogger who is knowledgeable on the topic of workplace learning, and who also is entertaining and realistic (with a penchant for telling it like it is), look no further than phase(two)learning.

Michelle Baker, the voice of the blog, has been around the L&D block for more than 14 years. She specializes in the development, implementation, and evaluation of employee learning programs; and offers consulting services and workshops on those and other workplace learning challenges, including onboarding, L&D marketing and branding strategies, social learning, and training department start-up.

Baker's posts tackle specific topics that are particularly salient for L&D practitioners, often offering tips and advice that can be implemented immediately on the job. They're simple. And short—which is even better. And funny, proving that humor, when used appropriately, is one of the best ways to help learners retain content.
