Stop saying “this course needs work.”

Say this instead. 👇

“This course is credible and relevant, but learners never practice the decision we need them to make.”

Same problem. Totally different reaction.

The first one invites a debate.
The second one invites a plan.

Name what works first. Then name the one specific gap.

Clicking next is not a response. Let me explain.

Myth: A course is interactive if learners click, drag, or flip cards.

Reality: A course is interactive when learners make a decision that looks like their real work.

The fix doesn’t need a bigger budget or a fancier tool.

Often it’s one question: “What would you do here?” And then showing what happens next. 💡

What’s the most “interactive” course you’ve seen that didn’t ask anyone to think?

If you’re an in-house instructional designer, I know some things about you.

You can spot a weak course in four slides.

You’ve built things you knew wouldn’t work, because the timeline said so.

And you’ve said “it just doesn’t work” and watched the room shrug.

Here’s what helps. Three questions, in order:
👀 Look: does it look designed on purpose?
💬 Feel: does it feel built for this learner?
✋ Respond: does it ask them to do anything?

Starting Tuesday, Oct 13, I’m auditing a real course live with this exact framework. Bring yours.

Contrast is often the strongest visual pull on a page, and it’s what makes your training materials stand out instead of blending together.

I’m teaching all four principles in my L&D Boot Camp starting Tuesday, October 13. If you design courses, build slides, or create learning content, come build with us. Link in bio.

Expectations vs. reality of being an L&D team of one 😅

Expectation: You design thoughtful, engaging learning experiences. Reality: You're also the LMS admin, the project manager, the video editor, and the person explaining (again) why training takes longer than a week.

Expectation: Professional development will help.

Reality: Most of it is built for freelancers or people with a full L&D department.

If that's you, I see you. 🧡

My LOOK/FEEL/RESPOND bootcamp was built specifically for in-house instructional designers and corporate trainers working solo or on lean teams. No new software to learn. Just a clearer lens on what makes training stand out, and a plan you can actually use.

Raise your hand if you’ve received content like this from a subject matter expert. Dense text, no hierarchy, every idea fighting for the same space. I think we’ve all been handed something similar.

This one doesn’t pass our Look, Feel, Respond test. So I rebuilt it, and I included facilitator notes on exactly what changed and why, so you can see the thinking behind every decision, not just the finished slide.

That’s what we’re doing all week in the Boot Camp: taking real training content and turning it into something learners want to engage with.

Boot Camp runs October 13 to 15. Have you signed up yet? The link is in my bio. Come join us.

Every question I got this week was really the same question. If you’re doing L&D solo inside a big organization, you’re in good company. Find your people in the comments.

Stop adding more slides. Do this instead. 👇

When training isn't landing, more content feels like the responsible fix. It usually isn't.

Whether you work in instructional design, eLearning, or facilitation, try this on your next module: find the ONE spot where learners check out (hint: it's often the opener) and make one targeted change right there.

✔️ Swap bullets for a real-world question
✔️ Cut the stock photo that isn't doing anything
✔️ Lead with why it matters to them

One change. Big difference.
