One-size-fits-all training has never truly worked — it overlooks the range of abilities, experiences and learning preferences that exist in every organization. Yet too often, training is still designed with the “mythical” average learner in mind. To create real impact, learning leaders must move beyond standardization and embrace more inclusive, personalized approaches that meet people where they are.
In this panel discussion, learning and development (L&D) leaders will share how they’re rethinking the design and delivery of training to reflect the realities of today’s workforce. From building flexible content to incorporating a wider range of voices and learning formats, panelists will explore how to create training that engages, respects and supports every learner.
Attendees will walk away with practical strategies for:
- Designing programs that support a wide range of styles, abilities and backgrounds
- Adapting content and delivery methods to meet learners where they are
- Using personalization to boost engagement and retention
- Building an inclusive learning culture that promotes equity and access

She’ll show you how to evaluate every request, respond with confidence, and turn every “yes” and “no” into opportunities that elevate your value as a business partner.

Learning as an adult is hard. Indeed, it’s much harder than when we were kids and our brains had the plasticity of learning sponges. Today, our time at work is stretched too thin with a myriad of responsibilities and ever-changing priorities. Our attention is constantly sapped by a barrage of Slack messages, emails, texts, phone calls, and meetings. Our egos batted about like piñatas by near-constant feedback. So, it’s no wonder that when it comes time to take an elearning course at work, it’s natural that our defenses go up. You ask yourself, why should I take time from my crazy busy schedule to learn something marginally useful for my job, won’t fully engage me, will cause me to fall further behind on my long list of to-do’s, will make me feel like an idiot when I get questions wrong on the quiz, and which I’ll forget before the week is out?
Given these emotional and logistical brain barriers, our job of teaching adults is thus supremely challenging. What to do?
We need to change the psychological dynamic between employees and learning. We need to help adults want to learn by delivering content to them that emotionally engages them and is contextually relevant to their work. Thankfully, L&D professionals now have great tools at their disposal to generate meaningful content and deliver it to learners when they need it most.
During our session, we will discuss how to create emotionally engaging games for learners to wrestle with the content as well as to create a gamified, social learning community to motivate learning.
In this session, you will learn:
- Why traditional passive training fails to make learning stick
- How to engage adult learners across generations
- Measuring the impact of game-based learning and proving ROI
September 18, 2025
Everybody’s talking about "workflow learning," but few are actually doing it. The pressure is on: L&D leaders need to deliver learning that supports employees in the flow of work, not outside of it. Traditional training methods pull people away from their jobs while workflow learning supports them in the moment. It keeps them engaged, productive, and performing right where it matters most.
In this enlightening session, Chris King, the former executive director of the Five Moments of Need® Academy, will provide a practical, step-by-step approach for embedding learning directly into the daily workflow. Learn how to pinpoint the highest-impact opportunities, design support that fits seamlessly into the workflow, and shift from a “training mindset” to a performance mindset.
If your learners are drowning in training but starving for support at their moment of need, this webinar will show you how to train less and perform more.
Key Takeaways:
- Match the method to the moment. Choose the right approach for each of the Five Moments of Need®.
- Spot performance pressure points. Identify critical workflow moments where learning is needed most.
- Use Rapid Workflow Analysis (RWA). A practical tool to uncover high-risk tasks, pinpoint learning gaps, and deliver workflow support that actually changes performance.

Stop counting completions. Start proving impact.
L&D leaders are being asked the same question: How is learning driving business growth? The answer won’t come from siloed LMS exports or a sea of dashboards. It comes from building a learning intelligence system — one that consolidates data, connects it to business KPIs, and moves you from descriptive reporting to predictive, decision-ready insights.
In this practical session, we’ll show you how to tame platform sprawl, kill data silos, and establish an insight-driven ecosystem that your stakeholders trust.
What You’ll Learn:
- Learning intelligence 101: Why data fluency is the new leadership currency in L&D to evolve from activity tracking to outcome prediction.
- The hidden costs of disconnected systems: How platform sprawl, manual exports, and mismatched taxonomies quietly erode insight, speed, and credibility.

Stop wasting development dollars. Are your sales leaders underperforming despite your investment in leadership development? The problem might not be your leaders. The actual culprit is the "leadership lie" embedded in generic training approaches. Sales leaders are wired differently, driven by unique motivations, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. Promoting top performers without a tailored development pathway often creates "super sellers" who can't effectively lead, coach, or build a team.
This webinar will reveal the specific components of a proven sales leadership operating system, showing you what "good" looks like when building leaders who make an immediate, measurable impact on revenue, recruiting, and retention.
Key Takeaways:
- Examine the common pitfalls associated with a lack of formal sales leadership development, including reactive management, poor succession planning, and stunted sales growth.
- Discover the seven non-negotiable elements of an effective sales leadership program, from talent assessment and strength-based development to integrated metrics and corporate sponsorship.
- Walk away with five concrete actions you can implement right now to refine your sales leader development process.

AI is moving fast—and most organizations are focused on keeping up with tools and tech. But the real threat isn’t a lack of technology. It’s a lack of thinking. Specifically, the gap between what our teams need to think strategically and how we’re actually developing them.
In this provocative and practical session, learning strategist Mary Rapaport—creator of The Strategic Playground—makes the case that strategic thinking is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s the core capability L&D teams must build to help leaders navigate complexity, lead change, and unlock the full potential of their teams.
Through real-world examples, Mary will explore the hidden cost of the strategic thinking gap—missed opportunities, shallow problem-solving, over-reliance on tools—and how L&D can be the key to closing it. You’ll learn practical ways to design development that supports business leaders in growing strategic thinking inside their own teams, no matter the level. You’ll also gain a fresh lens for how to build this capability into your programs through immersive learning, real-world application, and tools that actually change how people think.
If your organization is overloaded with plans but underdeveloped in thinking, this session will show you how L&D can lead the shift.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
