"Netflix didn't stop sending you emails just because you signed up."

In this clip, Lan Tran of Wysora explains why learning systems need to feel alive, not static, if you want people coming back on their own. It’s not just about having a great content library. It’s about giving people a reason to come back and see what’s new.

AI can do more of your job every year. That doesn’t mean it should.

Jennifer Baker, Director of Talent and Leadership Development at Foot Locker, draws a hard line between what AI can execute and what a human still has to decide. Judgment doesn’t get automated. It becomes the whole job.

I’m looking forward to joining ATD - Research Triangle Area Chapter for "Passing the Scan, Failing the User: AI and Accessibility." The event explores the intersection of AI and accessibility, including why passing an automated accessibility score doesn’t necessarily mean an experience works for the people actually using it. These are exactly the kinds of evolving conversations we pay attention to at TrainingPros.

There’s always something valuable about getting the community together in one place. I’m excited to attend the ATD Super Southeast Conference 2026, hosted by ATD Greater Atlanta. With multiple learning tracks covering areas across talent development, there should be plenty of opportunities to learn something new, exchange ideas, and have some great conversations. Those connections with the L&D community are something we really value at TrainingPros.

AI has landed in nearly every tool teams touch, and the question now is how to adopt it with intention.

Alicia Turino-Sheppard, Director of Learning at Cognizant, is focused on finding the right balance between embracing AI and preserving the human side of L&D.

For her team, the question is simple: Where can AI add value, and where does human judgment still matter most?

Today is , the holiest day of the year in the Jewish tradition. Today is traditionally a day to ask for forgiveness for wrongdoing from God and from fellow human beings. Many choose to wear white, symbolizing purity and renewal.

Great learning isn't competing with other training programs anymore.

Brad Ulmanu, Director of Learning Experience at Expedia Group, tells us it's competing with TikTok, YouTube and everything else people already choose to watch. If learning can't hold attention the way media does, it doesn't stand a chance. Click the link in the comments for the episode sponsored by TrainingPros.

AI gets much more useful when you can consistently get results you’re actually willing to put your name on. That’s one reason I’m excited to attend ATD Greater Atlanta’s "Tired of Inconsistent AI Outputs? Build a Repeatable L&D Workflow in One Day." This hands-on workshop, led by Josh Cavalier, focuses on creating repeatable AI workflows that professionals can put into practice. AI continues to be an important conversation for us at TrainingPros, and I’m looking forward to seeing how others are putting it to work.
