Wrapped up a training session recently. When I asked if anyone had any questions, the first one was "Are we done?". Makes me feel like we really connected....

I've recently been asked to provide a training session that is typically given annually to a work force. From what I can tell, they have received the same presentation for the last 3 years. I plan to make several updates and adjustments, but wanted to ask this community: What tips you have to make a recurring training topic interesting?

I'm curious to see how others are using AI to assist in the creation and design of training materials. Does AI handle a majority of the heavy lifting or do you think it just adds a few touches?

I’m just finished Map It by Cathy Moore and it has really shifted my perspective on how the L&D world is treated. She advocates working to solve root problems over just applying a topical training ointment. What have been your experiences with “taking orders” for training vs actually working to solve a problem?

I had an 8-hour drive today, so I started a new book. If you haven’t read Design for How People Learn by Julie Dirksen, I strongly recommend it! On my way back, I’ll need a new book again, so lay your recommendations on me!
