As an L&D professional, you need to create the best learning environment in your organization if you want to ensure that the people you are training will be able to overcome all challenges of the ever-changing business landscape of today. Because continuous learning and development of employees is the only thing a business can count on if they are to thrive in the future.
The L&D -related professions were never a piece of cake, yet with the always expanding number of approaches to workplace training, new tools, technologies and learning variables, things are as complex and demanding as ever.
With this in mind, how can talent development professionals rise above the noise and be successful in what they do? How can they create the best learning environment and the most personalized learning experiences for each trainee?
It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of designing and implementing e-learning modules and face-to-face training programs and having a tunnel vision focussed on tasks while doing so instead of getting some altitude and see the bigger picture. Performing tasks is important, but organizations of every kind are like living breathing organisms, as they are made up of people. And the people part of L&D can’t be ignored.
The only way for L&D professionals to be successful in helping others reach their full potential at work is by reaching their own full potential first. And the best way to learn how to do that is to attend the largest event for talent development professionals worldwide: The ATD International Conference and Exposition, which will take place in San Diego, CA, May 6-9.
