Psychological Capacity SIG (PsyCap SIG) FREE PREVIEW “Why Training Isn’t Sticking (and What L&D is Missing Right Now)”

Why Training Isn’t Sticking and What L&D is Missing Right Now

You’ve delivered strong training.

People liked it.

They understood it.

And then… nothing changed.

So what’s missing?

In this interactive preview session, you’ll explore Psychological Capital (PsyCap) - a research-backed framework that explains why people struggle to apply what they know, especially under pressure.

We’ll explore:

• Why skill-building alone doesn’t drive behavior change
• The hidden factor behind performance, engagement, and resilience
• How Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism shape outcomes

You’ll also experience a live exercise you can apply immediately.

This session is for you if:

• You’re navigating uncertainty, pressure, or transition
• You want your training to actually stick
• You’re ready to move beyond theory into real application

Walk away with:

• A new lens on performance and behavior
• One practical tool you can use immediately
• A clear understanding of what the full SIG will offer
