You know L&D needs to change. But do you know what to let go of first?

Join Mike Vaughan and Christopher Lind for an honest conversation on the four mindsets holding L&D leaders back and what it actually looks like to release them.

What We'll Explore

The four mindsets keeping L&D stuck:

1. Linear process
   ADDIE feels safe because it's predictable. But adaptability beats predictability every time.

2. Upfront certainty
   Fluid Design replaces the illusion of certainty with rapid iteration and working prototypes.

3. Manual craft as identity
   The expert eye stays. The grunt work goes.

4. Process as safety
   When process becomes a shield against accountability, it stops being a tool.

Why this is an identity shift, not a process change
Most L&D professionals carry real attachment to familiar ways of working. Naming that attachment is the first step. This session helps you do that.

Practical steps you can take the next day
Real examples, specific guidance, and clear next steps.
