  • Show and Tell: Your Best L&D Resources

    Get ready for the L&D Resource Swap 2026!   This Coffee Chat is where your desire to learn something new meets the collective wisdom of the Learning Rebels community. Here, ... Read more

  • Getting Strategic About Growing Your Knowledge

    Here's the trap we fall into as L&D professionals: we try to learn everything.   New authoring tool? Better learn it. Someone mentions personalized learning? Better research it. AI drops a new feature? Add it to the list. Meanwhile, we're stretched thin across a dozen surface-level skills with no real depth in anything. Are we ... Read more

  • Building Your Personal Brand as an L&D Professional

    We talk a lot about increasing L&D's visibility within the business. But what about your own visibility? Your personal brand?   For many L&D professionals, this feels uncomfortable. Self-promotional. Maybe even gross. We got into this field to help others, not market ourselves. And there's this question: should personal branding even be a priority? The ... Read more

  • Networking Like a Human!

    Building and Nurturing Your Professional Network You've built your personal brand. People know what you stand for. Now comes the part that makes a lot of us cringe: actually connecting with people. Let's be honest—networking often feels transactional. Awkward. Like you're using people to get ahead. You exchange LinkedIn connections and then... nothing. You've got ... Read more

  • See It Differently, Solve It Better: Creative Problem Solving

    See It Differently, Solve It Better: Creative Problem Solving   Same problem. Same team. Same stakeholder who wants "just a quick course." And somehow, you're expected to come up with something different than what you did last time. Sound familiar? Here's the thing. It's not that L&D professionals lack creativity. It's that we get locked ... Read more

  • What To Do When Training Isn’t the Answer

    When Training Isn't the Answer The request lands in your inbox on a Tuesday. Sales numbers are down, customer complaints are up, and leadership has diagnosed the problem: the team needs training. Can you have something ready by the end of the month? You could say yes. You probably have before. But somewhere between building ... Read more

  • When Your Subject Matter Expert Drives You BANANAS

    When Your Subject Matter Expert Drives You BANANAS They know everything about their topic. Everything. And they want to put it all in your course. Working with subject matter experts is one of those skills nobody really prepares you for in L&D. One day you're trying to convince a reluctant SME to give you thirty ... Read more

  • Credit Where Credit Is Due: Recognizing Informal Learning

    Credit Where Credit Is Due: Recognizing Informal Learning Nobody learned how to do their job from a course alone. Think about it. The workaround a colleague showed you over coffee. The LinkedIn post that reframed how you think about stakeholder relationships. The podcast you listened to on your commute that gave you the exact language ... Read more

  • Building Feedback to Change Behavior

    Most feedback in learning programs is an afterthought. A quiz at the end of a module. A "great point!" from the facilitator. A smile sheet that nobody reads after the session closes. That's not feedback. That's the appearance of feedback. Real feedback, the kind that actually shifts behavior and helps people grow, doesn't happen by ... Read more

  • Wake Up the Room: Energizers That Actually Work

    Wake Up the Room: Energizers That Actually Work   You're forty-five minutes into your session. The energy that was there at the start has quietly left the building. In person, people are checking their phones. Virtually, the cameras are off and the chat is a ghost town. Sound familiar? Every facilitator hits that wall. The ... Read more

  • What We’re Actually Reading: L&D Picks for Summer

    Summer time at the beach with a great reading list! Summer is the perfect time to step back from the day-to-day and feed the brain with something that isn't a project deadline. Whether you've got a stack of books you've been meaning to get to, a podcast you can't stop recommending, or a blog that ... Read more
