Corporate Strategy

165. You're Not Getting Real Training, You're Getting Pizza-Sized Oreos

Corporate training events seldom hit the mark, but through our collective experiences, we've identified what separates valuable learning from time-wasting theater. We explore the critical elements necessary to create impactful professional development experiences that respect participants' time and intelligence.

• Different perspectives from outside your organization enhance learning even when covering familiar material
• Keep sessions under two hours with adequate breaks to maintain engagement and focus
• Aim for 40% presentation and 60% hands-on activities for optimal learning retention
• Set clear objectives upfront so participants know exactly what skills they'll gain
• Make training elective when possible to respect expertise and identify engaged team members
• Include engaging activities like simulations or group projects rather than passive listening
• Ensure presenters are genuine experts who can handle challenging questions from participants

Join our Discord community for games like "Is It Me or Is It Corporate?" and "What Do You Mean?" as well as serious discussions about career development, mentorship, and professional growth.
