Join us for live L&D Leader podcast conversations

One of the best learning tools we have is conversation. I first heard this from Jay Cross, but it’s been our reality working with Michelle Ockers as we were writing the L&D Leader. We realised as the book was published, that we had so many more areas that we wanted to dig into…

So now we invite you to join our live podcast conversations. In each episode we’re using principles and practices from the L&D Leader to explore common challenges we’re facing in L&D. Join us as we navigate towards business value in continuously changing times.

Whether you’re new to your L&D role or a seasoned learning leader, these conversations are for you.
