Learn to Grow Shorts: Learning Landscape (mini) Series Trailer

Welcome to another episode of learn to grow shorts. Usually in these episodes, I reflect on a topic of interest from my latest guest but in the next few weeks, ill be doing something different! I created the Learn to Grow podcast as an anecdotal supplement to “industry trends”. Top trends articles and reports are incredibly helpful, but I wanted to explore what the world of workplace learning, the learning landscape, looked like to those who experienced it every day and prepared their respective companies for the so-called future of work. I wanted to talk to leaders in learning about the learning landscape. But through two seasons, something has nagged at me, lingered in the background and popped its head up on numerous occasions. I have never fully defined or explained what I mean by the learning landscape. And that landscape is a vast, interconnected system. So, that’s what I’m doing here! In the next 6 weeks, I’ll be outlining the learning landscape as I see it. And I’m going to do that in 5 and a half parts 😊First, I’m going to outline three ubiquitous trends that underpin the learning landscape.Then, in week two, ill dive into the “Now of work” because the future is here after all! And give real world examples of the need for constant change and reinventionIn week 3, I’ll dispel some myths about AI coming for all of our jobs and focus on the opportunities in a world where uniquely human skills are king. In week 4, ill provide tips (in two parts) on how to become a better learner – something sorely lacking in many conversations about learning in the workplace. And finally, in the last episode, ill make a case for the importance of a learning culture and try to make concrete some of the words that are dismissed as woo woo or just straight up annoying (culture, purpose, gratitude – you know the ones I’m talking about 😊) So that’s it! Consider this a trailer – we will jump in next week with the first part. Learning has never mattered more, and this is my manifesto of sorts – a look at the outsized role learning plays as we move towards an unpredictable future.Thanks as always for taking the time to listen, and I hope you’ll do the same in coming weeks!
