Steal These Thoughts!
How much attention do you pay to what others know and how they feel about your learning team?
Have you built a strong brand awareness in your business? Does your audience know and care about what you do/offer?
To get people excited about learning and making use of your resources and tools, first they must know that you even exist and what you can offer, you need to build your brand.
Does your organisation understand the value of its L&D function?
You might not even know.
Many organisations seek the golden elixir to power performance that they miss the obvious solutions right in front of them.
The L&D function is one of them.
Yes, I’m an L&D pro. So yes, I’m biased. But, hear me out!
In my opinion, L&D has a pivotal role to play in the 3 areas of talent attraction, skill and behaviour development, and finally retention.
Data is a powerful resource, even more important than oil to some communities.
Yet I’m always hearing that people aren’t getting the data they want.

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.
