Webinar Recap: Successful Strategies For Turning Learning Into Action

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, turning knowledge into impact is the next frontier of workplace development. Through real-time coaching, personalized learning journeys, and a focus on whole-person development, HR leaders and people managers can implement actionable strategies to ensure that learning and development efforts actually drive behavior change and results.

In this insightful conversation, learn practical approaches to bridge the gap between learning and application in the clips below, featuring TaskHuman coaches Elaine Jacob and Jonathan Ybanez.

Real-Time Application Through Human Connection

“Imagine having access to someone you can talk to right at your fingertips when you need. How impactful would that be to your development and growth?” asks Coach Jonathan. In the clip below, learn how the human-based element of coaching can accelerate your learning application in the workplace.

Key Takeaways:

• Real-time coaching support can help team members to “level up” their abilities to become more effective and productive contributors to a company’s mission.

• Coaching creates accountability systems through real-time calibration of someone’s personal or professional growth journey based on changing circumstances.

• By building trusting relationships, a coaching dynamic becomes a supportive, confidence-inducing environment for meaningful progress and long-term change.

• “People need to feel safe before they can change behavior,” shares Jonathan regarding the importance of cultivating psychological safety to create meaningful growth.

• Real-time coaching is an incredible tool for hybrid and remote environments, allowing people to feel supported and included regardless of location or context.

As Coach Jonathan shares below, coaching can move behavior from awareness to action, particularly when embedded in daily interactions.

Key Takeaways:

• Real-time coaching can be most impactful around pivotal moments like feedback sessions or a big presentation, offering a chance to pause, reflect, and reframe.

• Coaching doesn’t always need to consist of an hour-long commitment. When included with regularity, 10-minute check-ins and mindset shifts can be just as effective.

• A coaching mindset can support people in approaching challenges as opportunities and becoming more confident with quick decision-making.

Personalized Learning Pathways To Drive Implementation

While generic approaches fail to capture interests, tailored learning approaches can enhance engagement, drive motivation, and accelerate skill application in the real world. Learn how personalization activates learning and its impact below.

One size doesn’t fit growth. Not all learners need the same path, even within the same job title. – Coach Jonathan

Key Takeaways:

• Neuroscience shows that relevance activates motivation and attention centers in the brain. Because adult learners are purpose-driven, coaching offers a powerful opportunity to apply concepts in real time.

• A personalized approach considers a person’s unique role, context, and goals. It also creates ownership through buy-in.

• Coaching plans can be adjusted based on what’s working, what’s shifting, and how certain approaches might be resonating.

Whole-Person Development Enhances Skill Transfer

According to Gallup’s 2025 State of the Global Workforce report, employees report experiencing stress, anxiety, anger, loneliness, fear, and sadness daily. That’s why addressing the full spectrum of human needs—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—is critical for improving learning retention and behavior change. Coach Elaine shares more about the current workplace context in the clip below.

How can you and your team take the amazing things you’re learning and embed it in behavioral change? – Coach Elaine

Coaching focuses entirely on growth — growth of people, the organization, and the people within the organization and their capabilities. Learn how to create an environment focused on whole-person approaches in the clip below.

Key Takeaways:

• While emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-awareness may have previously been considered “soft skills,” they are required concepts to support the growth and development of the whole person at work.

• A coach can help tap into motivation and reflect on important questions like, What motivates me? What lights me up? Am I passionate about what I do? Am I making meaning in the world?

• Long-term benefits of whole-person approaches to leadership and team growth include improved retention, more connected teams, and a culture of engagement.
