Do your employees complete the training... and then go right back to doing things the way they always have?

You're not alone. And the problem might not be the employees.

Join us for a live, open conversation where L&D peers come together to tackle one of our profession's most persistent challenges: training that gets completed but doesn't actually change anything.

We'll kick things off by walking through a real-world case study to get us talking. It's the spark for an open, unscripted discussion where your experience, your frustrations, and your ideas are exactly what we're there to hear.

Here's what we'll be talking through together:

  • Why "page-turner" eLearning often checks a box but misses the point, and what we can do differently
  • How approaches like microlearning and other strategies that are Accessible, Convenient, and Short can change the way employees engage with learning
  • What makes content bingeable: designing learning that actually sticks, sparks curiosity, and keeps people coming back for more
  • How to design learning that fits into the flow of work rather than something employees have to stop working to endure
  • What it really takes to move beyond one-and-done training toward a culture where people want to keep learning

Cameras on, mics open, real talk welcome.

Think of it less like a webinar and more like a roundtable with your peers.  No slides to sit through. No chat-box-only participation. Just a genuine back-and-forth among people who are asking the same questions you are.

Come ready to talk, listen, and leave with ideas you didn't walk in with.
