How you see yourself as a learning and development practitioner is important to consider. But so is how you want to be seen by others, and how those you work with actually perceive you. Your credibility and impact depends on projecting yourself as capable of growing talent and enhancing performance. L&D professionals have both similar and very different approaches to building more effective workplaces. Personality, circumstance, expectations, clientele and many other factors influence how you work.

As we edge closer to a new year, organisations need a 2025 learning strategy that not only supports current business goals but also equips employees with the skills and knowledge to navigate the future landscape. For Learning and Development (L&D) leaders, this means building a strategy that moves beyond one-size-fits-all training programmes. It means creating a framework that fosters continuous learning, develops critical capabilities, and prepares the workforce for future challenges.

I had a long car journey this week and used the time to catch up on the audio version of Patrick Lencioni’s classic book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. If you’re not familiar with it, he tells a fable of a fictional team and their new CEO, and the story outlines the key issues that prevent teams from reaching their full potential.

It feels to many that global conflict, political division, job and cost of living insecurity and prejudice, as well as an increase in controlling, coercive behaviour and authoritarianism, are creating a perfect storm. In the workplace, this is being mirrored with communication breaking down, conflict escalation, isolation and seeking validation from those who share our own views.

Over the past few years there has been much written about behaviour change and how individuals can learn new habits. These concepts are particularly useful for L&D professionals. Why? If we reflect on Bass and Vaughan’s definition of learning back in 1966, we can see how vital it is to transfer the learning experience into action.

It’s that time of year again. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer holiday period is over and the demands to deliver more training ramps up to beat the competing deadlines of end of year results and using the available budget before the approaching festive season.

As organisations recognise the importance of evolving their performance management systems to be more continuous, flexible and engaging, the spotlight turns to L&D managers. These professionals are tasked with a critical role: preparing managers and employees to thrive within this innovative framework. This involves not only equipping them with the necessary skills to conduct effective performance reviews but also fostering a culture of ongoing coaching and mentoring.

In today's dynamic business environment, effective leadership is crucial across all levels of an organisation, not just at the top. But traditionally, leadership development programmes were reserved for individuals who met specific criteria, such as having a certain level of seniority or years of managerial experience. This approach often overlooks the potential of emerging leaders and non-managers who could significantly benefit from early leadership training.
