Training That Works
Training That Works is the podcast for sales leaders who are tired of programs that don't move the number. Host Rustin Schroeder sits down with directors, VPs, and Chief Learning Officers to unpack what actually drives performance — from onboarding and sales enablement to leadership development and coaching at scale.
Every episode is a real conversation with someone who has built and run training inside companies you know. No theory, no buzzwords, no recycled frameworks. Just the strategies, mistakes, and breakthroughs that separate training that checks a box from training that changes results.

Turn Learners Into Owners with Allie Cope
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Training That Works, Rustin Schroeder talks with Allie Cope about what actually makes adults learn... and what quietly kills impact. She unpacks her most memorable team training from her Blue Bottle Coffee days, where teach backs, creativity and real psychological safety shaped her personal facilitation style. Then she gets spicy on what fails… micro training for real skills, uncanny AI avatars, and the cost of a weak facilitator.
Allie shows how to listen beyond surveys to design training people will use. She digs into manager enablement, performance reviews, and why “ask one layer deeper” changes the whole solution. You’ll hear why Turn the Ship Aroundmatters for building owners, the Leadership Architect Guide she keeps within reach, and how years in customer service forged her empathy, communication and patience. If you want training that earns attention, shifts behavior and sticks… this one pays off.
