That means involving learners in the design process and grounding content in real-world scenarios they actually encounter.<\/p><p data-start=\"327\" data-end=\"578\">It\u2019s essential to use language, visuals, and contexts that feel familiar. When learners see themselves in the material, they\u2019re more likely to connect with it. They should be thinking, <em data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"541\">\u201cThat sounds just like me!\u201d<\/em> or <em data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"578\">\u201cI deal with that exact issue!\u201d<\/em><\/p><p data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"789\">When training feels relevant, learners are naturally more engaged. They see the value in the experience and become intrinsically motivated to learn.
