The Panic Packet
Templates, tools, and emotional support for L&D pros pivoting under pressure.
What the Heck is
a Panic Packet?
Contrary to what you may be thinking, the Panic Packet is not a survival kit with a flare gun, a Fast Break bar, and a roll of emergency TP inside. Although that does sound like a solid plan B. Where can we buy that?
This version is for your Learning & Development emergencies. The meetings where everyone’s smiling but also low-key freaking out. It’s for when things shift, stall, or snowball, and you’re the one everyone’s looking at to keep it moving.
Inside, you’ll find practical tools to help you pivot without panicking: email templates, decision frameworks, scope-sorting guides, and other stuff we’ve actually used in real life.
It won’t solve everything, but it will help you get your bearings, protect your priorities, and move forward with less chaos and more clarity.

Are You Currently Panicking?
Hey, we get it. Life is stressful. Work is stressful. Just feeding yourself every day is, in fact, incredibly stressful.
Get comfortable, close your eyes, and unwind for four minutes and twenty seconds with a soothing sleep story.
You're Gonna Be Ok.
Close your eyes. Get comfortable. Push all thoughts out of your brain and listen to a sleep story by IDLance.
Once upon a time, in a world not so far away, there existed a land where Learning & Development was not just a department but a cherished cornerstone of society. In this beautiful realm, L&D professionals were hailed as heroes, their creativity boundless, their spirits bold, and their endeavors well-funded. As the moon cast its gentle glow over the kingdom of L&D, the streets were lined with vibrant banners celebrating these hallowed professionals, and the air was filled with the melodious hum of brainstorming sessions and contentment.
In this enchanted land, every idea was greeted with enthusiasm, every learning program a triumph, and every module a masterpiece. In the heart of the kingdom stood the Great Learning Tree, its branches stretching high into the starlit sky, offering shade and inspiration to all who sought its wisdom. Underneath its leafy canopy, L&D enthusiasts gathered, sharing tales of successes and challenges, laughing uproariously at the memory of outdated training methods and the once-dreaded buzzword: synergy. No one says synergy here.
In this world, imagination knew no bounds. Training programs were as diverse as the colors of the rainbow, with workshops on everything from dragon taming to unicorn grooming. And oh, the technology! Virtual reality simulations whisked learners away to far-off lands while AI-powered mentors guided them on their educational quests.
Plus, there was plenty of high-end candy to go around. All for free. The only thing missing from this fairy tale land was stress. In the kingdom of L&D, deadlines were but gentle nudges, and budget constraints mere whispers in the wind. Here, mistakes were celebrated as opportunities for growth, and setbacks were viewed as stepping stones to success.
One day, a terrible darkness settled over the kingdom. Rumors swirled that it had carried over from the nearby Realm of ROI. But just when it seemed that all hope was lost, a brave knight named IDLance emerged from the shadows. Clad in kind of dirty armor to be honest, and armed with a heart full of determination, IDLance vowed to fight for the honor and dignity of L&D professionals everywhere. With each swing of the sword, budget cuts were thwarted, and with each step forward, resources were replenished.
Under the guidance of IDLance, the kingdom of L&D rallied together, united in their quest to overcome adversity and reclaim their rightful place in the realm of learning and development.
Narrator: I'm going to break the fourth wall here for a moment-- these IDLance guys made themselves the hero of the story? Like, really? Kind of annoying, right? I'm just an AI narrator, but I've seen these guys. They appear to have no muscle definition and tiny, beady eyes. But what do I know, right? Back to the story.
Thanks to the bravery and selflessness of IDLance, the L&D professionals emerged victorious, their spirits lifted, their resolve strengthened, and their dreams brighter than ever before. With IDLance leading the way, they knew that no darkness could ever extinguish the light of their creativity and passion. Gag!
And so, as the stars twinkled overhead and the kingdom of L&D drifted off into a peaceful slumber, one thing was abundantly clear: in this magical realm where learning thrived and creativity reigned, anything was possible. And as everyone closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep, they knew that tomorrow would bring another day filled with laughter, inspiration, and boundless opportunities for growth.
Sweet dreams, dear dreamers. Sweet dreams.
