   S3E8 — Being an Expert Does NOT Mean You're a Good Trainer

   Have you ever attended a training delivered by someone brilliant at their job — and left the room having learned almost nothing? You're not alone. And there's a name for what happened: the Expert Trap. In this episode, executive coach Audrey Jeanrond reveals why expertise and teaching are fundamentally different skills — and gives you a practical toolkit to close the gap. What you'll learn: → The 3 Expert Traps: too abstract, too fast, too much detail → The mindset shift from information delivery to capability building → Cognitive Load Theory (John Sweller) and Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle applied to training design → A 6-step design framework: Audience, Outcomes, Sequence, Activities, Practice, Feedback → 6 activity formats that actually teach: Replication, Debugging, Case Challenge, Teach Back, Constraint Challenge, Individual Reflection → The Activity Architecture: Task → Constraints → Output → Feedback → How to handle resistance, disengagement, and dominant participants → The "One-Minute Explanation": a self-diagnostic every expert trainer should try The question that should guide every training decision: "Can my participants do something different tomorrow morning?"

   S3E7: Does Your Calendar Actually Reflect Your Priorities?

   What Your Calendar Is Really Telling You Let me ask you something. What are your top three priorities right now, professionally? Got them? Good. Now, when did you last spend a real, focused block of time on each of them? If you're hesitating, this episode is exactly for you. In this week's episode of Question Coach, Audrey Jeanrond tackles one of the most uncomfortable truths in leadership: most people can list their priorities in 30 seconds, but when you actually look at their calendar, those priorities are almost nowhere to be found. That gap between what you say matters and how you actually spend your days isn't a time management problem. It's a clarity and courage problem. And today, Audrey gives you the exact tool she uses with her coaching clients to close that gap: The 3-Step Calendar Audit. Step 1 – Capture: Look back at the last two weeks of your calendar. Not what you planned to do. What you actually did. There's a difference, and that difference is where the real insight lives. Step 2 – Categorize: Sort every block of time into one of four buckets — Strategic, Operational, Reactive, or Waste. McKinsey research shows the average knowledge worker spends only 9% of their time on high-value strategic work. Where do you land? Step 3 – Compare: Stack your calendar data against your stated quarterly priorities. Does each priority have at least 2-3 hours of protected, non-negotiable focus time per week? If not, you just found your insight. Audrey also shares three principles for rebuilding your calendar with intention: the "big rocks first" approach inspired by Stephen Covey, how to protect your cognitive peak hours using neuroscience research, and a 20-minute weekly planning ritual backed by ICF research showing a 42% increase in goal achievement when goals are written, reviewed, and acted on regularly. And for those of you who feel like your calendar is owned by everyone else? Audrey has a starting point for you too: one 90-minute, non-negotiable weekly block. That's your strategic muscle. Start there. Referenced in this episode: Porter & Nohria (Harvard Business Review, 2018), McKinsey & Company, Paul Graham (Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule), Cal Newport (Deep Work), Greg McKeown (Essentialism). Your calendar is a leadership statement. Every week, it broadcasts what you actually value — not what you say you value. Make sure it's broadcasting the right message. New episodes every week. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs to look at their calendar, and leave a review if this episode gave you something to act on. Want to explore coaching?

   S3E6: The challenge of training lasting effects

   You designed a great training programme. People were engaged. Feedback scores were excellent. Then, three weeks later, nothing changed on the job. In this episode of Question Coach, Audrey Jeanrond explains why learning often fails to transfer into behaviour change. From Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve to research on habit formation and the impact of coaching, you will learn what happens in the brain after training and why the classic “one-off workshop” model rarely sticks. Audrey also shares a practical, zero-extra-budget framework for L&D professionals and managers: Prime → Anchor → Sustain. In this episode, you will learn: Why we forget 50–80% of new information within 24 hours without reinforcement The 3 common culprits of non-transfer: no priming, no manager alignment, and no post-training support How to design for transfer with simple actions before, during, and after a programme Why training combined with coaching can dramatically increase performance compared to training alone Keywords: learning transfer, L&D, training effectiveness, forgetting curve, behaviour change, coaching, manager support, spaced repetition, habit formation, performance improvement Subscribe to the podcast's blog (https://podcast.ausha.co/question-de-coach?s=1) Published with passion by Audrey Jeanrond, www.bebest-coaching.com (https://www.bebest-coaching.com) Hosted on Ausha.
