Non-Boring Learning

Boring training eats up time, money, and energy, and still leaves people checking their phones, tuning out, or walking away without a clue what to actually do differently. I’ve seen it happen in onboarding, in leadership programs, in compliance sessions, you name it. And honestly? It doesn’t have to be this way. This book is for anyone in Learning & Development who’s tired of watching good people glaze over in the middle of training. If you’re an L&D leader, facilitator, or SME who wants to shake things up and make learning actually work, this book will give you inspiration, practical tools, stories, and ideas to do just that. I’ll take you behind the scenes of working with organizations like Netflix, H&M, Johnson & Johnson, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Nippon Express, Olde Vechte, and Trivium Packaging—showing you what happens when we ditch the boring formats and bring in movement, embodied learning, coaching, and creativity. We’ll go over the six killers of engagement, how to design training around real problems (not vague requests), how to deal with tricky participants, and how to show up with presence even when you don’t feel confident. You’ll also get the Adult Learning science so you know why these methods work, not just how to use them. Because boring training doesn’t just kill engagement. It kills connection, motivation, and impact. And the good news? We can fix that. View Less
