About this session

The frameworks L&D professionals rely on are deceptively simple — and most managers have never met them. Built specifically for the "Performance Management" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time. Expect real frameworks applied to real situations.

What your people take away

  • Run Kotter's 8-step change framework in ten minutes, with the real-world caveats
  • Apply the 70-20-10 model as a design default, not an afterthought
  • Design facilitation moves that handle a quiet room without performing
  • Coach SBI feedback (Situation–Behavior–Impact) as a daily tool, not a theory
  • Deliver Kolb's learning cycle as a meeting-design tool

What’s covered

Core Theory, Practical Use

Every length

The frameworks in practice

  • Apply GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) to a coaching conversation this week
  • Use Kolb's learning cycle (experience, reflect, conceptualize, experiment) as a meeting design
  • Run Kotter's 8-step model selectively — most change efforts only need the first three
  • Build feedback using SBI — Situation, Behavior, Impact

Building Learning That Lands

90 minutes and longer

Design fundamentals

  • Build cohort rhythms — 4 or 8 week arcs outperform one-shot workshops every time
  • Build in reflection loops — learning without reflection is forgetting in slow motion
  • Use spaced repetition — short, frequent, applied beats long and rare
  • Test with five users before building at scale — Design Thinking's cheapest insurance

Facilitation and Delivery

3 hours and longer

Delivery craft

  • Handle quiet rooms by naming it ('this feels like a quiet one — anyone want to go first?') rather than pushing
  • Build breaks into hourly rhythm — adult attention peaks at 20, tanks past 50
  • Handle quiet rooms by naming it ('this feels like a quiet one — anyone want to go first?') rather than pushing
  • Match your energy to the room's energy first; then shift
