The Truth on Trial - Common L&D Myths

Step inside the courtroom of Learning & Development, where long-held beliefs are called to the stand and only evidence, experience, and impact will determine the verdict.
‌
Hosted live at DevLearn, Wednesday Nov 12th in room #123 at 12pm PST, this high-energy podcast episode brings together three of L&D’s most respected voices to challenge the myths holding our profession back. David James will play the role of courtroom judge, inviting the audience to be the jury - and witnesses - in a fast-paced, interactive trial of truth versus tradition.
‌
Each expert panelist takes on a widely accepted L&D myth — presenting the “case,” examining the evidence, and defending the reality based on years of frontline experience:
‌

• Becky Willis (CLO & Founder, Tractus Learning)
• Jess Almlie (Learning & Performance Strategist)
• Kevin M. Yates (The L&D Detective®) 

Audience members become the jury - voting “Guilty” or “Not Guilty” after each myth and ultimately deciding which challenged belief brought the biggest insight.
‌
This unmissable event will blend drama, debate, and practical truth - leaving the audience with grounded strategies to modernize their L&D approach, reject outdated assumptions, and focus on what truly drives performance and impact.
