Next adult learning principle
Self- directed learning

Adults don’t need more information.

They need ownership.

If your training tells people what to know—but never gives them a reason to use it—it probably won’t stick.

Training that sticks = learning people can own, apply, and repeat.

Incorporating past knowledge and experience helps adult learners build mental connections, improve information retention, and see the practical value of new skills.

you can learn about all eight principles this Wednesday, September 16 at 2 PM during our virtual training of why trainings don’t stick link in bio@

Here is adult learning principle #2 from Why Trainings Don’t Stick 👇

Adults don’t just want to know WHAT they’re learning. They want to know WHY it matters to them.

One of the biggest mistakes people leaders make is assuming the relevance is obvious.

It’s not.

Before you dive into the content, connect the dots:
Why does this matter? How will this help them? HOW WILL THIS MAKE THEIR LIFE EASIER?

Because if your team is sitting there thinking, “Cool… but how does this help me?” — you’ve already lost them.

Training should feel relevant before it feels educational.
