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.

Scheduling 300 ILT events across 9 regions isn’t "challenging" in Excel. It is a cry for help. Manually emailing learners to apologise for a classroom change is not what you signed up to do. Pushing big picture projects off to answer boring compliance questions drains you.   

They crushed their quota, so we gave them a team. And a calendar full of forecast calls, coaching check-ins, and pipeline reviews. No roadmap. No leadership training. Just... "figure it out."

Change is the very point of what we do in L&D, and it’s *frustratingly* difficult. We keep forgetting just how hard it is to break free from the gravity of the status quo. Great training breaks open the possibility of change, but it's often not enough to sustain it.

The skills gap isn’t simply about missing competencies—it’s a systems challenge tied to how organizations transform their workforce in the face of rapid technological change. To meet this challenge, leaders must ensure employees can adapt, innovate, and thrive alongside AI.  

PowerPoint is used by pretty much everyone in the L&D space (in fact, everywhere) and yet it's often a tedious process that saps all the joy and creativity from developing learning materials, and forces content creators to think about PowerPoint and how to add bullet points, rather than what would make an effective learning experience.  

When it comes to accountability, the focus is almost entirely on holding others responsible. But here’s the truth: real accountability doesn’t come from conversations—it comes from within.
