Why Corporate Trainings Fail (And What Actually Works)

Why Corporate Trainings Fail (And What Actually Works)
Ever sat through mandatory training that felt like a waste of time? You're not alone. Most corporate training programs miss the mark completely.

What we'll cover in 50 minutes:

• The real reasons corporate training doesn't stick (hint: it's not just boring slides)
• Why compliance-focused training kills engagement
• The psychology behind effective skill development
• What companies get wrong about adult learning
• Simple changes that make training actually useful

Who should attend: HR professionals, L&D managers, team leads who design training, and anyone frustrated with ineffective workplace learning programs.

What you'll leave with: Concrete principles for creating training that people actually remember and use. Whether you're designing programs or just want to understand why most training sucks, you'll get practical insights.

What to bring: A pen and paper for exercises and note-taking.
Format: Interactive discussion with real examples from companies that get it wrong (and a few that get it right). We'll dissect what makes training memorable vs. forgettable.

A little about me: I'm the founder of InHouse Trainers, a Training and Development consultancy focused on solving the problem of bad corporate trainings. I've sat through countless ineffective training sessions while performing at the top of my role, and eventually left my corporate job because I realized this wasn't just a problem at one company - it's everywhere.

I also managed to learn German as an adult, so I know what effective learning actually looks like.

Now I'm building solutions from the learner's perspective, without the industry baggage that keeps repeating the same tired approaches.

Note:

• This isn't about selling you training services - it's about understanding why most workplace learning fails and what works instead.
• This session will be on zoom and will be recorded.
