There are those rare moments in life and sometimes in business where everything becomes crystal clear. Where you ask yourself how you could have ever thought any different. How could you have missed the sheer simplicity of it. I, I’m happy to say, have just experienced a similar epiphany where it all became clear.

What you may ask? That a sparkling new iPod Nano is the perfect new training tool my company needs to purchase on my behalf to ensure:

- Increased productivity

- Greater product awareness

- Rapid access to the latest training techniques for Recruiters and Sales Managers

All this can be had according to Lawrence Walsh as he writes in an article in Baseline eZine. All this and of course the ability to load 8 zillion hours of my favorite music and video snippets all thanks to my company’s sage technology investment in a Nano for me…

Not to be too tongue in cheek as the real wisdom of this isn’t lost on me as I do understand the value of podcasts as a way to train and communicate a message to those on the go, but to be fair I’m having a hard time filling out my expense report with the 80gig Nano on it just yet.
