Introduce, Build, Build, Build: A Framework for Training That Actually Sticks
Episode Summary
Most training tries to cover too much in one sitting, and people walk away remembering almost none of it. Break it into layers that build on what people already know, and check along the way whether it's actually landing, and it sticks. Usable beats crammed every time.
Key Points:
Cramming a training topic into one long session means people retain a fraction of it; breaking it into shorter sessions that build on each other means they can actually use all of it.
New information sticks when it connects to something people already know, so opening a session by drawing out what they already understand about a topic makes the rest of it land.
Most training skips assessment entirely and assumes it worked because the room felt good; building in small, informal checks throughout tells you whether it's actually being absorbed.
