I wish I had something useful to add about cutting through, but I think you nailed it about the format. Trainings are top down, and these in particular are aimed at programming people to think the way they want them too. The one I went to recently made it seem like if you are not on board yet, it is because you are behind the times and in need of more programming. The one I went to was mandatory, but the "how can I do better?" reaction was similar. I did not try to challenge anything, but my sense is that since these trainings appeal to emotion instead of reason, the best pushback might be that which also focuses on emotional appeals.
