Your beautifully designed training modules are landing with a thud. Learners are clicking through, checking boxes and immediately forgetting everything. Sound familiar?

You might be solving the wrong problem. Most learning and development (L&D) teams obsess over flashy features and forget the fundamentals: Does this content matter to learners? Does it meet them where they actually are?

Melissa Lepiane, training manager for Friedman’s Home Improvement, has cracked the code on making training memorable. Her secret? She starts with empathy, not templates. David Wentworth, vice president and talent platform evangelist of Schoox, will lead a fireside chat with Melissa to discuss how her programs go beyond transferring knowledge — they create “aha” moments that learners actually recall.

In this session, you’ll get a playbook for transforming forgettable training into experiences that stick. Learn how to:

• Uncover what actually keeps your learners up at night
• Rewrite any training so it immediately answers the question: “What’s in it for me?”
• Connect abstract concepts to daily work challenges whether you’re training C-suite executives or front-line workers
• Prove your training works by tracking the behaviors that matter to business results
