Description
Have you ever attended a training delivered by someone brilliant at their job — and left the room having learned almost nothing?
You're not alone. And there's a name for what happened: the Expert Trap.
In this episode, executive coach Audrey Jeanrond reveals why expertise and teaching are fundamentally different skills — and gives you a practical toolkit to close the gap.
What you'll learn:
→ The 3 Expert Traps: too abstract, too fast, too much detail
→ The mindset shift from information delivery to capability building
→ Cognitive Load Theory (John Sweller) and Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle applied to training design
→ A 6-step design framework: Audience, Outcomes, Sequence, Activities, Practice, Feedback
→ 6 activity formats that actually teach: Replication, Debugging, Case Challenge, Teach Back, Constraint Challenge, Individual Reflection
→ The Activity Architecture: Task → Constraints → Output → Feedback
→ How to handle resistance, disengagement, and dominant participants
→ The "One-Minute Explanation": a self-diagnostic every expert trainer should try
The question that should guide every training decision: "Can my participants do something different tomorrow morning?"
