| 10/24/25 | The Rigor and Relevance of Assessment: Blending Learning Science with AI | Most assessments measure completion, not competence. And that's why they fail.

| 10/10/25 | Rethinking Microlearning: Moving Beyond 'Short and Cheap' | Robyn A. Defelice demolishes microlearning's biggest myths — including why her 5-minute pieces take 16+ hours to create and the "short attention span" lie that's sabotaging L&D initiatives. She reveals her practical readiness framework to help L&D leaders move beyond "fast, cheap, and easy" expectations to build context-aware microlearning that actually drives business results. | — | ||||||
| 9/26/25 | The New ISO Standard for L&D and Goal-Based Learning | Discover how the world's first ISO standard for L&D metrics (ISO 30437) transforms measurement from overwhelming data collection into a strategic weapon that proves business impact, and why skills-based learning without goal-based measurement is career suicide for L&D leaders. | — | ||||||
| 9/12/25 | Beyond Engagement Theater: What Drives L&D Performance | Dr. Clark Quinn exposes the "engagement theater" plaguing corporate L&D — where impressive completion rates and satisfaction scores mask the complete absence of real learning and behavior change. He reveals how learning teams can move beyond surface-level metrics by implementing his "hook and land" methodology, which emotionally engages learners with meaningful scenarios and delivers on the promise through evidence-based practice rather than knowledge dumps and trivial quizzes. | — | ||||||

| 8/15/25 | Fix the Meeting: Frameworks for High-Performance L&D Teams | Mike Simmons transformed the way L&D professionals think about meetings through the "Jobs to Be Done" framework. Mike reveals why 90% of meetings fail, while demonstrating his practical "call plan" methodology that focuses on defining "who will do what by when" to ensure measurable outcomes and real follow-through. The episode delivered immediately actionable frameworks for eliminating meeting waste, improving team alignment, and turning communication chaos into strategic advantage—complete with whiteboard demonstrations and real-world examples from his work helping enterprise teams achieve 2X ARR growth. | — | ||||||
| 8/1/25 | The Great Training Transformation: Adapt or Become Irrelevant | After three years of AI domination, Donald H Taylor exposes the industry's awakening: we were 'dazzled by AI' but now L&D is getting back to business fundamentals.
