Hype to Helpful

Practical AI for L&D Teams

AI is everywhere right now -- wrapped in hype, buzzwords, and big promises that don’t land in the day-to-day work of L&D. This workshop strips away the noise and shows your team how to use AI where it matters most: saving time, cutting hassle, and protecting the parts of your job you actually like doing.

  • Cut the busywork with AI so you can focus on the fun stuff
  • Try out real tools that fit into your workflow (without gimmicks)
  • Learn to tell the difference between hype features and helpful ones
  • Use AI in ways that make your work stronger, without confusing learners

Human Edge

L&D Team Transformation

L&D teams are often stretched thin -- juggling requests, designing solutions, and trying to show impact, all while struggling to be seen as true business partners. This workshop helps your team move beyond order-taking and start leading with strategy. You’ll learn how to strengthen your team’s impact and credibility inside your organization.

  • Shift from reactive order takers to proactive strategic partners
  • Diagnose real business problems and design solutions that make sense
  • Measure learning in ways that show impact to stakeholders and everyone else
  • Create a roadmap for long-term success and continuous improvement

From "Yes, Chef" to "Yes, And"

Needs Analysis and Assessment

L&D teams often feel like they’re the organization's short order cook for all things training, taking orders and delivering what’s asked. But real impact starts with collaboration. In this workshop, your team will learn how to move from “Yes, Chef” to “Yes, And," focusing on getting to the real root of the problem and going from an order taker to a respected expert.

  • Push back (politely) and ask better questions that uncover the real issues.
  • Stop solving the wrong problems by identifying what’s actually causing the gap.
  • Create solutions that aren’t just aligned with business goals... they actually make sense.

Metrics for Mortals

Elevated Learning Evaluation

Can we be honest? We know that many L&D pros -- if they're evaluating at all -- are still stuck measuring whether people liked the training or if they completed it. Yet, more than 60% of L&D teams are expected to prove impact, or face layoffs. This workshop helps your team find data hiding in plain sight, rethink what to measure, and turn numbers into compelling stories that resonate with leaders throughout your organization.

  • Learn how to identify and measure metrics that align with business goals.
  • Find "hidden" data within your organization and use it effectively.
  • Move beyond basic completion and satisfaction numbers to track real impact.
  • Master the art of storytelling with data to create actionable insights and drive decisions.
