One of the videos in this package of three breaks new ground in my viewing experience. It makes witty use of the yellow smiley face, truly one of the most annoying images ever invented.
The Lifeline series addresses conflict, stress, and attitude with simple but effective advice. The messages are economical, making them easy to remember.
The three- to four-minute meeting openers have an appealing visual style that should hold the attention of diverse audiences. The style is neither stodgy and off-putting to younger viewers nor over the top and grating on older viewers. It's clean, upbeat, and has just enough action to keep thoughts from wandering.
Recommendation
Meeting openers fit the realities of corporate learning because they don't take much time and can be integrated with work activities.
But they can also be empty calories if their content is trivial, too complex, or boringly repetitive. The Lifeline Series makes none of these mistakes. If the topics match your need, preview them.
