Think you're not in sales? Think again. If you've ever led a team, introduced a new idea, coached an employee, navigated change, or asked others to follow your lead, you've been selling all along. The good news? The best leaders don't sell by being pushy. They earn trust, build influence, and inspire people to say "yes."

If you're managing training operations across the country, or globe, this guidebook will help you understand how to start standardizing data and processes to make your life easier.

Accessibility doesn’t have to feel complicated or like just another compliance box to check. In this webinar, we’ll break down what eLearning designers really need to know about accessibility and how to put it into practice. We’ll look at common accessibility challenges across content, visuals, multimedia, navigation, interactions, and assessments and share practical ways to address them.  

Launching a coaching program is the easy part. Making it stick and turning it into a lasting habit that shapes how your organization grows is where most efforts stall. Join us for a candid fireside chat with Nicole McIntosh, Director, HR Business Partner at Princess Cruises, as she shares how her organization moved past the launch phase to build a coaching culture that actually lasts.

The future belongs to organizations that view employee development not as a program, but as an everyday management responsibility. Careers today are built through experiences, skills, exposure, and opportunity—not simply through promotions. Organizations that intentionally help employees learn new skills and then create opportunities for their employees to use those skills will be better positioned to attract, retain, and develop the talent they need to succeed.   

Coaching may not seem the obvious response during moments of critical change. When organizations face mergers, restructures, rapid growth, or leadership transitions, attention typically turns to strategy and execution. This guide shows why that instinct is incomplete. Drawing on behavioral science insight and new CoachHub client data, this guide demonstrates how coaching directly mitigates the risks that derail change and how it delivers measurable impact when uncertainty is at its highest.

Organizations invest millions in training, yet too often the expected improvement never shows up in workplace performance or business results. The problem is not always the training itself. Employees may leave with the right knowledge and skills, but unclear expectations, limited manager support, competing priorities, inadequate reinforcement, and workplace barriers can prevent them from applying what they learned.  

Many technology and software organizations are shifting toward consumption- or usage-based pricing models. Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies is driving this change due to highly variable compute costs. This shift raises an important question: how can companies successfully structure sales compensation plans under this model?  

Leadership won’t sign off on training budgets because it feels right. They want proof, in numbers they can defend to their own boss. Calculating your training ROI and presenting it clearly shows leaders exactly how your programs are performing and where to adjust to hit company goals, because when training is a real investment, they need to know the money is working. This ebook hands you the data to make that case, no guesswork required. You’ll learn: The real cost of skipping employee training altogether What compliance training, onboarding, upskilling, and reskilling actually cost your organization, broken down by category A clear formula for calculating training ROI, plus a ready-to-use workbook for tracking the numbers on new manager training, compliance, and onboarding

Today fast-paced world requires bold and courageous leaders who possess the rare combination of audacity and emotional intelligence. Audacity is the willingness to take bold risks, but if it’s not coupled with situational awareness and empathy, those risks can create far more problems than they solve.   

Discover how AI is transforming the way we learn, work, and deliver results. In this interactive session, we’ll take a deep dive into how AI accelerates workflow learning—covering both content development and deliverable creation. You’ll explore real-world examples of AI tools in action, seeing how they streamline processes, reduce development time, and help teams create high-quality learning solutions faster than ever before.  

Inspiration gets a bad reputation because we’ve turned it into Hawaiian shirts, pizza parties, and empty slogans. It’s not supposed to be easy or comfortable. True inspiration, the kind that drives performance, is rough and demanding. It thrives in friction, in challenge, and in real accountability, none of which you’ll find in a motivational poster.  

Articulate Rise is beloved for its speed and ease of use, but every designer eventually hits the "Wall"—that moment when the standard block library just can't do what you envisioned. Usually, the answer is "you can't do that in Rise." In this session, we are changing the answer to "yes, you can." We will show you how to break out of the standard constraints by using Custom Blocks powered by "Vibe Coding." You don't need to be a JavaScript expert; you just need to know how to ask the right questions. We will demonstrate how to use AI to write the code for you and how to hook up AI APIs to create dynamic, intelligent interactions that standard Rise courses could never support.  

For too many frontline managers, that's the entire leadership development experience. The manager leaves, the top performer gets promoted, and they're expected to figure out the rest on their own. With little time for formal development, it's no surprise that 67% of frontline managers say they're making it up as they go and 41% question whether accepting the promotion was the right decision. Traditional leadership development simply doesn’t fit the realities of frontline operations.  

Everyone talks about blended learning, but few do it well or at all. Too often it falls into "we know we should do that" bucket of tasks for the overloaded L&D and training professionals.   

Traditional L&D often measures success by the amount of training delivered. But for frontline employees, more content doesn’t always mean better performance. Deskless workers learn between tasks, not during scheduled training sessions, so learning has to fit the pace of work. See how organizations like Jack in the Box are redesigning training around that reality and deploying digital learning platforms such as Echo360 to create learning experiences that are accessible, engaging, and importantly measurable.

Ever had a trainee ask you that? Lenn Millbower has, but it wasn’t because of him. It was because of the application of his Learnertainment® methodology. The problem with most training programs isn’t the content. It’s activities that feel phony, pointless, and manipulative. Conversely, well-developed and appropriately integrated activities, ones that feel playful and engaging, are things of beauty. They fit. They flow. They’re fun. And learners respond with enthusiastic participation. Then, most importantly, they pay attention, And when they pay attention, they learn.

Most AI demos show a paragraph of text getting generated and stop there. That is not what building a course looks like. The real work is everything around it, structuring the content, writing the scenarios, designing the interactions, and making it all hold together as something a learner would actually want to go through.  

Whether you are training a team, pitching a prospect, presenting a marketing message, calming an upset customer, or guiding a difficult discussion, the words you choose shape what people understand, trust, remember, and do next.

AI Access Is Not AI Readiness Giving employees access to AI doesn’t mean they’re ready to use it. Organizations can provide the tools, licenses, policies, and prompt libraries—and still see employees hesitate, misuse AI, distrust its answers, or struggle to apply it to real work.

The all-star team is back. Dr. Karl Kapp, Dr. Ellen Wagner, and Dr. David Metcalf join host Dr. Anders Gronstedt for another sharp, opinionated look at what is reshaping learning and development.
