ROI or Bust: The Real Value of Learning

Most organizations measure training by completion rates, not by whether anything actually changed. The uncomfortable truth: L&D budgets get cut when you can't connect learning to business outcomes. - Nearly 25% of L&D budgets are cut due to unclear ROI - Training completion ≠ behavior change - Leaders who can prove learning impact keep their programs funded What You'll Take Away Impact: A simple framework to measure whether your learning initiatives actually stick. Mindset: Stop defending training hours. Start defending business results. Tools: ROI calculation template, real case study analysis. How It Works - The problem: Explore why most training fails to change behavior - Real case study: Analyze what didn't work, and why - Your framework: The ROI model you can actually use - Action plan: Design one initiative using the framework Who's It For Ideal participants: HR leaders, L&D managers, anyone defending training budgets. If you've been asked "What was the ROI on that training?", this is for you. What's Included - ROI calculation template - Live session recording - Real case study

Speed Coaching

Speed Coaching with Skills U Experts

You need expert input fast, on a specific challenge, a decision, a direction. Speed Coaching gives you 1 hour to meet multiple coaches and consultants. Have a few conversations, get different perspectives, find who you want to keep exploring with. It's speed dating for professional guidance. Low commitment, high value, no pressure. What You'll Take Away - Exposure: Meet 3-4 experts from different backgrounds in one hour. - Perspective: Get multiple views on your challenge, not just one opinion. - Connection: Find the coach or consultant who resonates with you, book follow-up work if you want. How It Works 1. You come in with a challenge or question (tell us what's on your mind) 2. Meet 3-4 different experts (15 min rotations) 3. Each expert offers a different lens (their specialty, their thinking) 4. Leave with multiple perspectives and contact info (book 1:1 work with whoever you want next) Coaching Topics Typical rotation includes expertise in: Leadership & Management | Communication & Influence | Strategy & Org Design | Personal Brand & Presence | Change Leadership (Exact mix varies by session, we match based on attendees' challenges) Who's It For Ideal: Leaders and professionals trying to decide what kind of help you actually need, or who you want to work with. If you're stuck and not sure which type of expert to talk to, this is perfect. Try 3-4 conversations, see who clicks, then book deeper work.
