So, we're heading into 2026 and I want to identify an upskill opportunity. I think I'd like to take Cathy Moore's course on Action Mapping, but don't know how good it is. I imagine it's great since her book is a game changer. Does anyone have experience with it? What types of training/certifications are on your wish list?

Several trainers I talk to say they love it when they can see the "light bulb turn on" when they are teaching someone something new. It's very intoxicating and I know many of you have experienced those moments. Comment below and share your favorite light bulb moment!

Mondays can be rough. What wins do you have from last week?

I am excited to start this new community for instructional designers, corporate trainers, adult educators, and other L&D professionals! This is meant to be a space where we can share ideas, problems, and best practices to help us in the day-to-day tasks we face in our professional lives. Please take a moment to comment on this post with your name, a little about your job, and what brought you to this community! I'll start. I'm Billy, and I currently work as an independent training specialist with a focus on nuclear energy and the oil/gas industry. I created this community because I think there are so many people out there with great ideas when it comes to training, and I wanted a supportive place where we can share those ideas!

I'm not sure if anyone else is seeing it, but it feels like I can't read more than 2 sentences on any L&D post/article/blog without someone talking about AI (just like I'm doing now😂). Is it just my algorithm, or is this everywhere, like it seems? I just want to read about a good training analysis or a new teaching method. I don't need to hear about how AI creates cool infographics... Rant complete.
