Engaging Workplace Training

What Building My First LEGO Set Taught Me About Learning and Work

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 20:32:00 -0500

I didn’t expect building my first LEGO set to turn into a lesson about learning — but it did.

In this episode, I reflect on how the LEGO building experience mirrors what adults experience in workplace learning and professional development. From following step-by-step instructions to navigating moments of uncertainty, LEGO became a surprisingly accurate metaphor for instructional design, collaboration, and trusting the process.

This episode explores:

Why slowing down matters in learning
How adults learn when the full picture isn’t clear
The role of patience, experimentation, and reflection
What LEGO can teach us about workplace training and growth

A thoughtful, practical reflection for anyone involved in learning, leadership, or personal development.

Neurodiversity at Work: The Power of Grace and Space

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 15:00:57 -0400

In this episode, Patricia Regier, from Regier Education Inc., explores the hidden superpowers of neurodivergent minds and how Grace, Space & Safe create truly inclusive environments for learning and work.

The episode begins with a short introduction from Patricia, explaining how this conversation was created — using Google Notebook LM to generate an AI-based radio show segment inspired by her original article, “Don’t Hear What I Didn’t Say: Grace, Space & Safe.”

Together, her voice and the AI dialogue model what inclusion can sound like — curious, creative, and kind — showing how technology can amplify authentic human learning and reflection.

Technical Training Needing to Slow Down - Deep Dive Series

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 09:09:14 -0500

Chunk and Chew method when providing technical training. In an article and video about online facilitation, Patricia Regier emphasizes the importance of slowing down when presenting information to ensure understanding and engagement. She advises facilitators to consider the sensory experiences of their participants, explaining that they might be simultaneously listening, watching, taking notes, and attempting to apply the information. Regier recommends incorporating visual cues and verbal descriptions when sharing information, particularly when demonstrating technical tasks, as participants may not always be looking at the same place on their screens. By consistently describing actions and locations, facilitators can ensure that participants can follow along, regardless of their visual access or learning styles. She also encourages facilitators to adopt a learner perspective and consider how their participants are experiencing the training.
