Many learning professionals who are successful at work feel invisible in their jobs or in the field. Doing good work is not alway enough to get the recognition and opportunities you want. Increasing your visibility can lead to advancement, new opportunities, and deep connections.  

Let's face it: We've all tried to copy a slide from one deck to another, only to have formatting, colors, fonts and layout blow up in our face.

While it may be tempting to hop over to your favorite conversational AI tool when you can't get the time and attention you need from your project's subject matter expert(s) (SMEs), is that really your best choice? Consider your SME as your fellow human-in-the-loop and join us to explore best practices for using AI to help you work with your SMEs — not instead of them.  

In a world full of distractions, how do you make training stick? The answer lies in connecting with people on a human level. Join learning design experts Christy Tucker, Garima Gupta and Rance Greene as they explore how to leverage the power of storytelling and scenarios to create memorable and impactful learning experiences.  

Today's learners expect more than information—they expect meaningful, relevant experiences that help them grow and adapt. Yet too often, training programs are designed from the organization's perspective rather than the learner's, leading to disengagement and wasted potential. In a rapidly changing environment, we must rethink how we approach learning design—starting not with content, but with human needs.  

Recent advances in AI and machine learning have made immersive learning a powerful, adaptive and accessible tool that is relatively underutilized in many talent leaders’ toolkits.  

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion unveiling fresh insights from SalesFuel’s 2025 Voice of the Sales Rep survey.

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense promise for transforming workplace learning—enable personalized performance support, streamline content curation, analyze and predict learning patterns. But under the hood, these systems often reflect hidden biases, questionable data practices, and oversimplified algorithms that can unintentionally exclude, misinform, or misguide learners. As L&D professionals, we must go beyond technical fascination to ask: Who trained this model? On what data? And at whose expense?  

Organizations are shifting from traditional courses to in-the-moment, just-in-time support that embeds learning directly into daily workflows. This transformation not only improves knowledge transfer but also accelerates the application of skills where they matter most. Explore this change with guidance from Panopto, known for enabling organisations to connect people with the right knowledge at the right moment.

As the year wraps up, L&D professionals are under pressure to show results, yet many programs weren’t designed with impact measurement in mind. Sound familiar?  

Quiet quitting isn’t caused by lazy employees—it’s the natural outcome of organizations that separate engagement from communication. Too many organizations treat employee engagement and communication as separate initiatives. The truth is, one without the other falls flat. Engagement without communication produces frustrated, unheard employees. Communication without engagement produces polished conversations with no energy behind them. When combined, they create the twin engines of performance that fuel trust, productivity, and innovation.  

Have you ever had a boss who undermines, micromanages, withholds information, or sets you up for failure? How about peers who leave you out, spread rumors, or steal credit? When workplace culture becomes toxic and there’s no accountability in sight, what can be done? Sabotage in workplace relationships is insidious, but not impossible to deal with. Whether it’s subtle or overt, learning to respond both strategically and professionally to workplace sabotage is key.

Developing a high-performing team does not have to be scary!   In fact, it might be easier than you think…as long as you follow these simple team building steps.    

"What does this have to do with me?" is the question learners often ask when taking Elearning. Many instructional designers struggle when faced with dry or dense content. Often, the training feels disconnected from learners’ day-to-day work. Because learners view it as irrelevant, they’re less likely to remember their training and less motivated to change their behavior. What you need is a way to help learners recognize the relevance of the elearning you create—and, you hope, to improve performance.  

Winning teams aren’t built by chance. They’re built with intent by leaders who know how to spot the right people early. But most hiring still relies on instinct, vague impressions, and "culture fit" guesswork. The result? Missed opportunities, uncertain decisions, and painful mis-hires.

In our professional lives today, burnout is a threat and balance seems elusive. But some experts say that work-life balance is a false dichotomy—as if "work" and "life" are opposing forces that demand equal time.  

Today’s learners are stressed, overloaded, and navigating constant change. New information, unfamiliar expectations, and fast-paced environments can trigger fear and resistance—right at the moment when we need them to be open to growth. As trainers and leaders, we’re tasked with engaging learners in the midst of that stress and uncertainty, building environments where learning can thrive despite the natural defenses of the brain.
