Practising what we preach in the L&D industry is not as common as you might think.
We always talk about the latest learning philosophies, skills and experiences other people need. Rarely do I see or hear anyone talk about the modern L&D skills needed to navigate today’s world.
In a world increasingly shaped by remote work and digital platforms, the challenges for L&D teams are mounting.
Why am I doing this? why are we choosing this course of action? Why has this happened?
For me ‘why’ is one of the most powerful words you can use. In whatever you do, whether it’s in a professional or personal scenario, we should always ask ourselves – Why am I doing this? why is this project or programme important for our business?
Understanding the ‘why’ is the biggest part of anything we embark on. The how and what are important too, yet without understanding – why are we/I doing this, we cannot fully buy-in to what we are trying to change and achieve.
For more sporadic daily thoughts like this, please subscribe to my weekly newsletter where I share insights, experiences and research on learning, personal development and managing the monkey mind.
There’s a saying I like to indulge often “Old does not mean dead and new does not mean best”.
It’s perfect for a lot of things – plants, tech and even convincing my wife that I can still build that infuriating piece of furniture without the help of some 20-somethings.
I rarely win the last one these days.
I’m a big fan of Apple products and their simplicity.
You might even accuse me of being a “fan boy”.
Like many people, I’ve studied the history of Apple to try to understand what makes them awesome, their failures, how they’ve fallen and risen several times.
Much can be learnt from this.
→ Tools and frameworks to improve performance through tech
→ Case studies from leading L&D teams
→ In-depth breakdowns of the skills you need to succeed.
4,000 L&D pros love it ❤️
