  • Episode 29 | Corporate Training is Dead - Here's Why​

    Learning and development practitioners are tasked to move at the speed of business. But the reality is, it’s not feasible. As a result, L&D practitioners and the learners they serve must have a mind shift that:

    • L&D leaders must be okay with this and not see it as a threat

    • L&D leaders must encourage self-directed learning even more to augment their efforts​

    In this episode Thomas Harrell walks us through some good tips on keeping up with learning and development presently and in the future.
