Booom 💥

Another AWESOME conversation, this week with pioneer of modern L&D and an inspirational solopreneur turned entrepreneur 🤘🏻

The main focus of our conversation was exploring "learning" as a concept and unpacking how to go about designing learning experiences which actually land and lead to meaningful change.

Some of the general themes we touched on include:

  • Creating a culture of curiosity
  • Following passions and life-long learning
  • Embracing your inner "geek"
  • The role of psychological safety in creating the conditions for learning
  • Limitations of traditional education systems and approaches
  • Self-awareness and providing others with the space to explore
  • Focusing L&D on understanding how the brain works and how behaviour change happens

Lavinia also shares 3 brilliant tips on creating effective cohort learning experiences which are totally applicable to anyone looking to implement a learning programme.

As always, I really enjoyed this conversation and hope that you do too! ✌🏻
