Calling all instructional designers.
Is AI going to take your job?

It’s a question that comes up constantly, and honestly, the fear is understandable. Every industry is trying to figure out what artificial intelligence means for their work.

But from what we’re seeing in the field, the reality is a little different.

Instructional designers are still in very high demand. In fact, there may be more job postings right now than we’ve seen in a long time.
Why?

Because AI can help organize information, draft outlines, and accelerate early stages of development. What it can’t do is replace the experience that comes from actually designing learning that works.

AI doesn’t understand context the way a human does.�It doesn’t know what will resonate with a learner.
�And it definitely doesn’t know how to navigate the real-world constraints that instructional designers deal with every day.

What it can do is help us move faster.

And in a world where companies are sitting on mountains of outdated PDFs, videos, and slide decks that need to become training, that speed can actually help instructional designers do more of what they do best.
So if you’re an instructional designer wondering if AI is coming for your role…

It probably is.

Just not in the way you think.

Everyone wants the perfect sales call.
The one that works every time.�The one that guarantees the close.�The one every salesperson can just follow step by step.
The problem is simple: it doesn’t exist.
People aren’t predictable. They’re busy, distracted, skeptical, stressed, and coming into conversations with completely different contexts. No script survives contact with reality.
And yet, sales training keeps trying to package certainty into a process.
The smartest shift you can make in training isn’t showing the “perfect” version of a sales call.�It’s starting from the honest assumption that perfection isn’t possible.
Build training for variability.�Build it for judgment, adaptation, and decision-making.
Because the perfect sales call isn’t a standard to reach.�It’s a myth to let go of.
