SUMMARY:When Learners Don't Show Up: Handling Disengagement
DESCRIPTION:Empty seats are just the visible problem. The real question is what’s happening underneath them. \nWhether it’s a virtual session where half the room has their camera off and one eye on their email\, a self-paced course that nobody finishes\, or a classroom where people are physically present but clearly somewhere else\, disengagement is one of the most persistent frustrations in L&D. And it’s easy to blame the learners\, but disengagement is rarely about the person in the seat\, it’s about everything around them. \nThis conversation is about getting past “learners aren’t motivated” as an explanation and looking at the design\, context\, and organizational factors that either support or undermine learning engagement. \nWhat We Will Discuss \n\nWhat the research says about why adults disengage from formal learning\nDesign decisions that either invite learners in or push them away\nHow leadership behavior before and after training shapes whether learners bother to engage\n\nCome Ready to Contribute \nWhat’s the most effective thing you’ve done to pull disengaged learners back in? Bring your real-world experience and let’s learn together. \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person? No Worries\, We’ve Got Your Back! Register And Receive The Following:\n Access to the Learning Rebels resource page with all the extra goodies \n Copy of the video recording \n Copy of the chatbox transcription \n Copy of the full session transcript & summary \n Additional resources such as books\, articles\, and handouts

SUMMARY:The Missing Rung: How Do New People Learn the Work Now?
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, people learned the job the same way: start at the bottom\, handle the grunt work\, and pick up the rest along the way. Now AI is taking over much of that grunt work. So where does the learning happen? \nEntry-level tasks were never just busywork. Drafting the first version\, cleaning up the data\, and taking notes in the meeting are where people built judgment\, figured out how the organization really runs\, and earned the trust to take on more. As those tasks shift to AI\, the bottom rung of the ladder is getting harder to find. That raises big questions for new employees\, for the managers who develop them\, and for the L&D teams expected to fill the gap. \nWhat We Will Discuss\n\nWhat entry-level work used to teach people\, even though no one designed it that way\nHow onboarding and early development need to change when new hires start higher up the ladder\nWhether ideas like apprenticeships or residency-style roles could work beyond medicine and the trades\nWhere L&D fits when the traditional “learn by doing” path disappears\n\nCome Ready to Contribute: Bring your own ladder story. How did you learn the ropes\, and would that path still exist today? \n  \n  \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person? No Worries\, We’ve Got Your Back!

SUMMARY:Mentoring: Everyone’s Favorite Idea\, Nobody’s Program
DESCRIPTION:Ask any leader whether mentoring matters and you’ll get an enthusiastic yes. Ask to see the mentoring program\, and things get awkward. \nMentoring shows up on nearly every list of ways to grow people. Yet many programs never get past the kickoff\, fizzle after a few coffee meetings\, or exist only on paper. Meanwhile\, with fewer entry-level roles and stretched-thin managers\, the need for someone to show people the ropes keeps growing. We’ll talk candidly about what makes mentoring stick\, what makes it stall\, and what L&D can realistically do about it. \nWhat We Will Discuss\n\nWhy mentoring programs lose steam once the launch excitement fades\nFormal programs versus informal connections\, and whether one works better\nHow to match mentors and mentees without it feeling forced\nSmall\, practical ways to build mentoring into the culture when a full program isn’t on the table\n\nCome Ready to Contribute: Whether you’ve built a mentoring program\, joined one\, or found a mentor on your own\, your experience belongs in this conversation. \n  \n  \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person?

SUMMARY:Can We Actually Teach Someone to Think?
DESCRIPTION:“We need people who can think critically.” It’s on every leader’s wish list. But can a course actually deliver that\, or are we promising something training can’t do? \nCritical thinking\, problem-solving\, and decision-making keep topping the lists of skills organizations say they need most. With AI producing answers in seconds\, the ability to question those answers\, weigh the options\, and make a sound judgment call matters more than ever. Still\, thinking skills are tricky to design for and even trickier to see in action. It’s time to separate what works from wishful thinking. \nWhat We Will Discuss\n\nWhat critical thinking actually looks like on the job\, and why it’s so hard to pin down\nDesign approaches that build judgment\, such as scenarios\, case studies\, and practice with real decisions\nWhy a one-time workshop rarely changes how people think\nHow AI changes the picture\, for better and for worse\n\nCome Ready to Contribute: Share what has worked for you\, what has flopped\, and the one thinking skill you wish more people had. \n  \n  \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person?
