Learning works best when participants are stretched - but not stressed. In this episode, we explore how to hit the “just right” challenge level in your workshops, where growth happens without overwhelm. You’ll learn how to use flow as a compass, raise challenge without triggering anxiety, and adjust in real time based on learner needs.

✅ Practical strategies from learning science & science of positive psychology

✅ Real-life experiences from 17 years as a trainer

✅ Tips to keep getting better at navigating this fragile balance
