The Things We Do in L&D series
Questionable learning. Uncomfortable truths. The things we’ve always done.
I write about learning and development. The good stuff, the frustrating stuff, and the things we keep doing simply because that’s how we’ve always done them.
My L&D books explore how we design, deliver and think about learning at work.
Sometimes the problem isn’t that learning doesn’t work. It’s that we’ve stopped asking whether what we’re doing makes any sense.
Expect honest observations and a healthy challenge to some of the things we’ve accepted as normal.
We’ve Always Done It This Way
We’ve all heard it. In this book, I examine the habits and workplace behaviours that get in the way of real learning — and ask a rather awkward question:
What if the way we’ve always done it is the reason nobody’s learning?
Available November 2026.
Can You Make It More Engaging?
What does “make it more engaging” actually mean?
This survival guide explores the real work of learning design — from vague requests and unrealistic expectations to creating learning that genuinely works.
Available March 2027.
