F*ck Average
This keynote is for the people who have felt the friction. The ones who tried to raise the bar in corporate training and were met with blank stares, outdated systems, or quiet resistance. It speaks directly to instructional designers and learning leaders who know “good enough” is failing their learners but are still expected to deliver inside rigid constraints.
This is not a motivational rant. It is a clear-eyed call to reject mediocrity in how we design, deliver, and defend meaningful learning. Drawing on real stories and hard-earned lessons from professionals who refused to play small, this session reframes what is possible when you stop asking for permission and start designing with intention.
Takeaway: Average is a choice. So is doing something better.
