  Compliance training, we all know when our teams hear that the wall goes up. What if instead we could get teams excited about their "required" trainings. In this session, you'll discover creative techniques and practical strategies to make compliance learning fun, interactive, and impactful. Learn how you can spark curiosity, boost participation, and foster knowledge retention through storytelling, and other hands-on activities. Whether you’re a trainer, manager, or team leader, this session will empower you to turn compliance into something your team wants to do, not just has to.
