    Effective marketing strategies for L&D Leaders with co-authors Bianca Baumann and Mike Taylor

    How can L&D implement marketing strategies to improve their learning outcomes?   In this episode, Julia sits down with co-authors of the book “Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro” to discuss. They discuss understanding audience behavior, using emotional design and the importance of learner personas.  --------- Key Quotes:“  Oftentimes we assume that we have people's attention by default, and it kind of leads to titles like leadership training, which not only is that boring, but it's literally invisible to people. We're asking people to pay attention in the context of YouTube and TikTok and thousands of impressions from ads everywhere you turn. Marketers understand what they're competing with and they've sort of cracked this code a long time ago.” - Mike  “ How do I actually understand motivations and emotions? And that is actually where learner personas come in. So they are a representation of your typical learner. And they certainly go above, you know, your regular target audience analysis, where usually we just focus on demographic information and learner personas. -------- Time stamps:(01:20) Effective marketing strategies for L&D  (14:14) AI at Work:  (16:19) Future Ready:  (20:28) The Learning List  --------- Links: Bianca on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancabaumann/  Mike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miketaylor/ Julia on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-r-24836723/

    The role of L&D: From skill gaps to business opportunity with Chris Eigeland, Co-founder and CEO of Go1

    How has learning evolved, and how should companies adapt? In this episode, Dan sits down with Chris Eigeland, the Co-founder and CEO of Go1. With a multifaceted background from theme park design to human rights law, Chris discusses the unique challenges and opportunities faced by today's learning and development industry. --------- Key Quotes:“ If you look at the investment in an individual’s sort of lifelong learning, you know, unsurprisingly, that investment drops off a cliff  after someone turns about 24, 25…  there is a growing need for skill development, but the institutional support is lacking and therefore companies need to step up and fill that gap.” “ When I think about what's important and what opportunities are available for companies in market, I think about, do you have an L&D program that is available and frictionless? People want to be learning where they are, not where you want them to be.” “What does a strong learning culture look like? It is something rooted in three things: one is curiosity, one is velocity, and one is a high-trust team. And those three things together will accelerate business outcomes.” -------- Time stamps:(00:46) The evolution of learning and how to adapt  (11:05) 60-seconds budget breakdown  (12:18) Lifelong learning (15:05) Self-development hacks   --------- Links:  Chris Eigeland on LinkedIn

Donna is an award-winning Head of Talent Development with over 24 years of experience. She shares her insights into how to engage with the leadership team and tactics to quickly demonstrate the value of L&D initiatives.  --------- Key Quotes:“Looking at, what is it we could do as baby steps, I call it small quick wins, to demonstrate that delivery? And rather than taking six months to build something, where is it you can run in an agile sprint and turn something around in four weeks and drop it back into the business?” “The sponsorship of somebody in those initial conversations is really, really important.  I would never go in cold to a number of those senior stakeholders and do introductions. I actually let one of my peers or my boss do those initial introductions and provide the context of why I'm here and what I'm here to work on.” “ And so when you are saying you are going to do something, you need to follow up with evidence of doing it and very quickly. Don't overcommit… bring it all the way back to something that's really simple, really achievable and you can then show those small improvements… whilst building towards that bigger picture.” -------- Time stamps:(01:05)  Proving ROI and making the L&D Case to the C-Suite (13:54)   60-second budget segment  (16:36)   Lifelong learning segment (19:22)  Self development hacks  --------- Links:  Donna Verdi on LinkedIn

    How L&D can drive business impact with Cassie Young, General Partner at Primary Venture Partners

    How can L&D drive the top and bottom line for their company and customers, while proving ROI? In this episode, Dan sits down with Cassie Young, General Partner at Primary Venture Partners, to discuss how L&D teams can drive the top and bottom line, and the extra steps they can take to prove ROI. Cassie also shares her insights on aligning with business goals and focusing on the customer value chain.  --------- Key Quotes:“One track you see a lot of is people talking about is, we launched this many training programs and this was the completion rate and this is the frequency of using the content. But if the business hit isn't hitting its goals, none of that matters. And so it's this alignment to how do we accelerate the business's ability to hit revenue plan to hit margin plan? And how are we measuring every single initiative or activity that we launch to ensure that it goes and does that?” “Far fewer organizations educate people on a P&L or what I call customer value chain. At the end of the day, your way to drive customer value is to make sure that your champion in your customer account can get promoted. So what are they trying to do?” “ We talked about the importance of P&L here and a lot of people will say, well, I never took a class in this. There's lots of stuff you can read online for it, but the number one way to understand it in your business is to ask someone on the finance team to go to lunch.” -------- Time stamps:(01:05)  Running successful global learning programs.
