Good afternoon team.

Training Magazine is a great community for Learning Professionals. Their webinar series is always helpful. I attended a few of Dr. Cox's sessions in the past and they always have a few great points to take away. 

If you haven't joined, it's a free membership that I highly recommend. The resources / webinars are free, and always an hour well spent.

During the Kick-Off meeting at Emerge, every group shared they are challenged with learner engagement. This upcoming webinar may be helpful: https://www.trainingmagnetwork.com/q/xd7ty
