I write a daily email helping Learning & Development professionals ditch meaningless work and earn more money
A brief intermission
TLDR: I’m busy at the moment and will be taking my foot off the daily email pedal for a while.
I LOVE writing these emails.
Doing so consistently gets me into a flow state, gives me purpose and helps clarify my thinking.
But it does take time and energy. And I’m currently facing some pressing deadlines which need my focused attention.
So, I’ve decided to take a little break from emailing quite so frequently, until my schedule settles down and I have more headspace.
Now, this is a little frustrating, because I was halfway through a series of emails unpacking the “performance ecosystem”, which is the most excited I've ever been about an “L&D” solution (ironically, the work consuming my focus is communicating the concept of a performance ecosystem to potential and existing clients!).
So, I shall definitely be coming back to this at some point. But I’m sorry to leave you hanging.
In the meantime, have a great weekend :)
Yours,
- Ant
PS. One thing I won't be stepping back from is LRN DEV REV. In fact, we've just begun a behind-the-scenes video series revealing the thinking behind a new freelance L&D business I'm in the process of launching. Check out the updated website for a tour of the platform and all the new features!

The first-ever "LRN DEV REV Book Club" begins in less than 24 hours!

Our first book is The Trusted Learning Advisor by Dr. Keith Keating. It's a book I've been excited to read ever since it was published, and we've even secured a live Q&A with Dr. Keith as part of the program. If you've...
Measuring the impact of training is tricky: How do you measure awareness? How do you measure customer service? How do you measure employee engagement? How do you measure the ability of the executive team to think strategically? And how do you measure all these things in a way that the business cares about? (hint: they do not care that 83% of our learners completed the eLearning module). But let's be clear... this is not just an L&D problem — it's a business problem. "Business" people are...
Not because I'm a particularly slow reader. But because it spent a decade gathering dust on my bookshelf. But that was the book that changed everything. The straw that broke the camel's back. That book that lighted a fire under my ass and prompted me to question what the hell I was doing. And what was I doing? Pumping out hours of aesthetically pleasing, functionally robust, woefully ineffective eLearning - that's what! The moment I finished that book, the trajectory of my career swerved in a...
