In this episode of Lead, Learn, Connect, host Alan Krieger talks with Tyler Valerio—former Marine Captain, endurance athlete, and leadership development expert—about what it takes to design training that truly sticks. Tyler shares how breaking complex programs into focused, practical sessions helps leaders apply skills like giving feedback, building psychological safety, and developing emotional intelligence. He also explains his book Get Off the Ladder, where he challenges linear career thinking and advocates for a cyclical, continuous approach to growth. With stories from military and corporate settings, this conversation offers concrete strategies for trainers, coaches, and leaders alike.
