Look out sales teams! The next generation of closers is doing some serious training. 💪

Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School has been using Immersive Training Platform to give students the power of realistic practice.

Roleplaying with our digital humans, students rehearse interviews, pitches, and client meetings – the moments that are going to define their careers – face-to-face instead of just in theory.

Students have completed hundreds of sessions in the first pilot alone, meaning more time for instructors to focus on higher-value coaching and mentorship.

A huge shout-out to Dell for leading this project and helping to train the next generation. 💙

Simone Biles said she practiced 32–34 hours a week. All for just 3-4 minutes of competition. 🤸‍♀️

And yet in L&D, we think of practice as something that's merely 'nice to have'. A moveable entry in a calendar.

The result?

Sales reps who stumble under push-back, customer reps who can't de-escalate, and people managers who accidentally turn difficult conversations into employee issues.

Sure, not everyone can dedicate 95% of their work day practicing.

But is 2% enough to build competitive skills?

Delve more into the power of practice. Courtney Gailey from our Customer Success team explores more in this latest blog post. 👇

We’re long overdure an introduction. 🥁

Meet Courtney Gailey, who joined our Customer Success team a few months back.

Many of you may have already met Courtney. She’s been doing an amazing job onboarding clients onto our Immersive Training Platform.

Not only does she have great L&D (and even teaching) experience, but her ownership, attention to detail, and positive attitude have been truly invaluable additions to the team. 🌟

We sat down to learn a little more about what makes her tick.

Great to have you, Courtney!

Sharing what we’ve learned with the next generation of artists. 🎨

Vincent and Ed from our Creative team stepped out of the digital human world for a day and into the classroom at Auckland University of Technology AUT. 🎓

They joined third-year students from the Animation, VFX and Game Design program to talk about what it’s actually like building a career in the creative industry.

And wow! What an incredibly sharp bunch of young creative minds we have here in Aotearoa. 🇳🇿

Vincent and Ed shared lessons from their own journeys in the creative industry – from the craft behind AI animation; to working on projects like the Planet of the Apes and Despicable Me; to networking, building connections and finding your place in the creative community.

As a company born in New Zealand and working with people and organizations around the world, it’s pretty special to be able to share some of what we’ve learned with emerging talent right here at home. 🌏

In the attention economy, even once-engaging learning content (like video) is trading like a penny stock.📉

2 out of 3 learners admit to multitasking during corporate training.

And a similar number say the type of content makes it hard to stay focused. 🥱

Like it or not, it's getting harder to keep people's attention during L&D initiatives.

So what does a modern approach to developing learning content look like? We take a look in our latest blog post -- linked in the comments. 👇
