“If you have a lot of training and you have a culture within yourself of training and development, you’re going to be more successful in life and in your career, and you’re going to have more job security.”—Adam Corn

Adam Corn has been designing, developing, and implementing innovative training programs for government agencies and tech companies around the globe for 25 years.

In 2015, Adam transitioned to the private sector, where he has spent the past 7 years building cutting-edge global physical security and L&D programs for Google, Fitbit, Facebook/Meta, and GoFundMe.

Early on, Adam saw an opportunity to improve learning and development programs—which were typically canned, generic, and not focused on the company’s or their employees’ specific needs.

He knew this was a gap he could fill, and he now works to create engaging and effective learning & development programs using principles from TV commercials to keep them interesting and memorable. He believes everyone should have access to training that is fun, joyful, and effective.

A fierce employee advocate, Adam understands that investing in training and development is a surefire way to success in life and career.
