No, Han hasn't had a complete leave of her senses while Ash is away. But she really does think there are some instances where marketing won't help L&D... particularly if:

• Your learning experience is pants
• You haven't changed your thinking
• You aren't thinking long-term!

So if you want to know the pitfalls to avoid, this ep is for you. Happy listening! 🍍

What if we told you that we have one, really easy trick to make your learning land better with your audience? Well you're in luck. Because that's exactly what Han's bringing to the podcast today. And it's all about terminology. If you want to get them to walk the walk, you've gotta talk their talk.

The question of the day: Why is engagement still L&D's biggest challenge? Well it's no surprise that Han's got an opinion on this topic and she's here to give her two cents (including the fact she doesn't think marketing for learning® is the sole solution to the engagement challenge). 

Every time Pinocchio lied, his nose got longer. The outputs and impact of his lie was immediate. And although that stopped Pinocchio lying, might bringing the outputs and impact of learning into the immediate term make people learn MORE? Han thinks so, and in this episode, she explains why.

Choice Hacking

It's story time with Han this week, as she lets us in on a client conversation that really got her cogs turning. In this bite sized ep, Han delves into demand generation, and how it might help all L&Ders (and stakeholders!) think differently about marketing for learning®. 

 

Has Han lost the plot? Or should L&D really be eating dog food?

OK. She doesn't mean it literally, but eating your own dog food means using your product or service in the way a user would use it. And that means that L&D need to start learning – using the platforms and services we want our people to use. 

This bitesized episode will help you understand why using your own learning products helps L&D teams:

• Market their offering accurately and authentically 
• Improve empathy with their target audience
• Enhance, tweak and adapt their learning products. 

Happy listening!
