    Stop Consuming, Start Implementing
    May 12 2026
    It all started with the BIG question on the table. What's the one skill you want to go deeper on this year—and how are you going to get there? This Coffee Chat was about moving from broad knowledge to deep expertise. We kicked off with a quick level set: participants named skills they wanted to build—AI, gamification, executive presence, communication, writing learning objectives, digital acumen. But wanting to go deeper and actually doing it are two different things. One person said they're already consuming the next thing they won't implement. The group nodded hard—it's exactly what our learners go through with our content. The conversation turned to barriers and breakthroughs. Someone shared their journey building executive presence through reading, observing people who model it, and creating a mental model of what success looks like. Another talked about using AI to develop exam questions and building tools that rejuvenate weak test items. Someone admitted they hate choosing tools because the learning curve feels endless, so they refuse to choose at all. The reality? We're all struggling to bridge training to implementation—even though that's literally what we do for a living. We explored practical tools for going deep. ChatGPT can act as your instructor—upload a report, ask it to quiz you over coffee, and get feedback without judgment. Toby helps manage tab addiction by organizing articles for review so you don't lose track of what you want to learn. NotebookLM became the star of the show—upload sources, generate flashcards, create audio overviews you can listen to on your commute, or interrupt the podcast to ask questions. One participant realized the exploration is endless, which is both exciting and paralyzing. The group talked about structuring learning time. Set a 30-minute timer. Focus on one Articulate skill. Stop when the alarm goes off. Listen to audio files during lunch. Quiz yourself in the grocery store line. Use AI to figure out where to start—ask it what a future-facing L&D leader would prioritize. The key is treating yourself like you're back in school, but on your terms. The takeaway? The job market is shifting. AI can do some of what we used to do. We need deeper functional knowledge in areas AI can't replicate—strategy, gamification, executive presence, creative problem-solving. Know what you're good at as a human, as an L&D professional, and then pick one thing to go deep on. Follow that T-shaped path down. So what's your one thing? Stay curious! -Shannon

  • Give Yourself 5%: The Habit That Changes Everything

    Give Yourself 5%: The Habit That Changes Everything
    May 5 2026
    It all started with the BIG question on the table. How do we actually build a habit of learning—for ourselves? This Coffee Chat tackled a challenge we all share: making time for our own growth when everything else feels more urgent. We kicked off identifying the barriers—time, distractions, guilt, and too many deadlines. Someone admitted they schedule learning time, then say yes when someone else's issues come up. Another confessed they're consistent at letting themselves down. The group nodded hard at the reality: we hoard articles, bookmark everything, and tell ourselves we'll get to it later. Later never comes. The conversation shifted to practical solutions. One participant blocks lunch on their calendar every day (and tells their boss "it's not just lunch") to watch webinars and share takeaways with the team. Another uses Asana to forward emails directly into task lists so learning doesn't get buried. Someone shared a 30-day behavior change cohort where they committed to just five minutes of reading daily—and gave themselves a nine out of ten for sticking with it. The key? Making it easy to do the next right thing. We explored workflow integration instead of breaking ourselves out of the day. Listen to a podcast on your commute. Read an article in the doctor's waiting room. Replace mindless scrolling with something brain-nourishing. One person shared a standard work spreadsheet to track daily, weekly, and monthly learning habits. Another talked about breaking goals into 5% of your work week—just two hours across five days. When you frame it that way, it's a no-brainer. The group also talked about curating versus hoarding. Taking pictures of articles and saving them to Apple Notes. Pinning emails in Outlook. Creating project folders in ChatGPT. Organizing materials so you can actually find them again. And recognizing that clarity matters more than motivation—knowing what you want to learn and making the first step easy. The takeaway? We need to stop making learning so heavy. It doesn't have to be an hour-long commitment. It can be five minutes. It can be part of your existing routine. And most importantly—you're worth 5% of your work week to sharpen your saw. So what's one small step you can take to build your learning habit today?

  • Creative Thinking: The Unexpected Essential Skill

    Creative Thinking: The Unexpected Essential Skill
    Feb 17 2026
    It all started with the BIG question on the table. What skills did we need in 2025 that we didn't see coming—and what does that mean for our careers? This Coffee Chat was all about looking in the rearview mirror at the year behind us and thinking forward to what skills matter now. We kicked off with the big one: prompt engineering. Would we have known in January 2025 that mastering AI prompts would become critical? Some of us saw the signals, but most of us didn't jump on it fast enough. The question became: how do we get better at spotting trends before they pass us by? The conversation turned to staying informed and developing a radar for what's next. Reading widely—Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, industry newsletters—and practicing pattern recognition helps you see what's coming down the hall. One participant carved out intentional innovation time each week to stay ahead of trends. Another pointed out that AI isn't just a tool—it's part of the workflow now. Prompt engineering, understanding AI agents versus simple prompts, and knowing which AI tool fits which task all became essential skills this year. We explored creativity, storytelling, and binge-worthy learning. One participant asked: what if we designed learning people actually wanted to come back to, like a Netflix series? The group talked about framing content around compelling narratives, using humor and relatability (even corny stuff works if it's memorable), and building playlists instead of learning paths. Old-school techniques came back up too—process mapping, branching scenarios, empathy mapping, and the lost art of asking the right questions. Not "What problem are you solving?" but "What happened that brought you to my office today?" We also tackled content curation with purpose. Throwing an entire library at people doesn't work. Instead, we need to help learners build targeted playlists—whether it's curated courses, YouTube videos, or internal resources—that actually match what they need. And we talked about dusting off skills like questioning, critical thinking, and creative problem solving. These aren't nice-to-haves anymore. They're essential. The takeaway? The skills we need keep shifting faster than ever. Staying curious, staying informed, and staying flexible isn't optional—it's how we keep up. So what skill are you sharpening as we head into 2026?
