EP 36: From Ballet to Boardroom: Liz Bruno on Bold Moves, Lifelong Learning, and the Future of L&D

In this episode of Learning Matters, host Doug Wooldridge sits down with Liz Bruno, former Chief Learning Officer at Baptist Health and a powerhouse in the L&D world. From her early days as a professional ballet dancer to leading system-wide training programs in healthcare, Liz shares her journey—and the bold mindset that’s guided her along the way.

👉 Topics we cover:

✅ Why aligning L&D with business goals matters more than ever

✅ How to shift from order-taker to strategic partner

✅ The truth about “shiny object” syndrome in learning tech

✅ The divide (and potential) between academic and corporate learning

✅ Why relationships are the key to transformation

✅ The future of L&D: agility, AI, and authentic communication

Liz brings a no-nonsense, refreshingly real perspective on what it takes to drive learning that actually moves the needle.
