"If you have a lot of training and you have a culture within yourself of training and development, you're going to be more successful, I think, in life and in your career, and you're going to have more job security."—Adam Corn

Adam Corn has been designing, developing, and implementing innovative training programs for government agencies and tech companies around the globe for 25 years.

After serving as an Intelligence Officer, Adam completed his federal service as a professor at National Defense University at Fort McNair, where he designed and taught Master's Degree-level courses focused on counterinsurgency and critical infrastructure protection. In 2015, Adam transitioned to the private sector, where he has spent the past 7 years building cutting-edge global physical security and L&D programs for Google, Fitbit, Facebook/Meta, and GoFundMe. 

Early on, Adam saw an opportunity to improve learning and development programs—which were typically canned, generic, and not focused on the company's or their employees' specific needs. 

He knew this was a gap he could fill, and he now works to create engaging and effective learning & development programs using principles from TV commercials to keep them interesting and memorable. He believes everyone should have access to training that is fun, joyful, and effective.

A fierce employee advocate, Adam understands that investing in training and development is a surefire way to success in life and career. 

In this episode, Adam talks about:

💡 How to influence learning & development programs—even if they're outside of your assigned business unit.

💡 How to create engaging and effective training experiences for your teams.

💡 How to use humor and psychological tricks to engage learners in training experiences.
