How do you shorten time to competency without lowering standards?
In Part 2 of this conversation, Christine Brooks-Cappadocia continues her discussion with Manja Horner, Founder & CEO of Boost LD, and moves from diagnosing slow training systems to designing a practical solution.
With labour shortages and mass retirements reshaping skilled trades, construction, and manufacturing, organizations can no longer rely on ad hoc onboarding or one-off workshops. Manja outlines a structured workforce training blueprint rooted in deliberate practice — a focused approach to skill repetition and feedback — designed to reduce training time by up to 25%.
Together, they explore how to move employees from new to competent more efficiently, why structured training pathways outperform informal mentoring, and how leaders can rethink onboarding to improve productivity and retention.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to design a structured workforce training plan
- Why traditional onboarding slows skill development
- How deliberate practice accelerates upskilling
- What an intentional 18-month training pathway can look like
- The hidden cost of low competency
If you’re responsible for workforce development, onboarding, leadership, or employee retention, this episode offers a practical roadmap for accelerating skill development inside your organization.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1, we recommend starting there to explore why traditional upskilling systems are too slow — and what that means for both career changers and employers.
Successfully Ambiguous explores career growth, leadership, workforce development, and navigating change in a rapidly evolving world of work.
