Learning and Development (L&D) teams are at a crossroads. Too many still operate as order takers, delivering training on request without questioning whether it's the right solution.

He shares: 1) Why L&D professionals must stop taking orders and start diagnosing real business challenges 2) How the IDAD Model—Intake, Discovery, Analysis, and Decision—helps reframe training requests 3) Why empathy, active listening, and design thinking are the missing pieces in L&D's strategy Keating outlines practical steps to move beyond outdated approaches and drive real business value.

I think I am a mission-driven growth catalyst.Transforming the nonprofit sector starts with empowering its leaders. Gratitude Network, under the leadership of Executive Director Lauren Reilly, has revolutionized nonprofit growth by offering leaders of organizations serving children a robust fellowship program. This unique accelerator equips them with tools to scale their impact globally.Gratitude Network's fellowship program combines executive coaching, a mini-MBA curriculum, and a global peer network. As Lauren explained in our interview, "Organizations that go through our program grow 3x on average after working with us. They grow revenue by almost 40% and, one year post-fellowship, serve an additional 2,300 children on average."Lauren's passion for creating systemic change is deeply rooted in her career as an educator. Early on, she recognized the inequities in education systems and sought innovative solutions. “I wanted to show students what it was like to be a CEO,” she recalled, describing her transition into the nonprofit sector. Gratitude Network provided her with the business acumen she needed to scale her ideas. Within five years, her nonprofit grew 26-fold, serving 21,000 children and collaborating with over 100 Fortune 500 companies.Now, at the helm of Gratitude Network, Lauren's vision is to amplify this impact. She aims to sustain and expand the organization's global network, ensuring that fellows continue to benefit from support long after completing the program. “We're fixing a broken nonprofit sector,” she said. “By supporting Gratitude, donors aren't just helping one organization—they're creating a leveraged social venture with outcomes year after year.”Gratitude Network is a beacon for nonprofit leaders striving to accelerate change. With Lauren's leadership, the ripple effect of their work promises to transform communities worldwide, one leader at a time.tl;dr:* Gratitude Network empowers nonprofit leaders with tools like executive coaching and a scale-up curriculum.* Lauren transitioned from education to nonprofits, scaling impactful ideas into sustainable, thriving organizations.* Fellows in the Gratitude Network's program average a 3x growth and serve 2,300 more children annually.* Success at Gratitude stems from system building, postmortems, and clear KPIs to drive measurable impact.* Lauren encourages dedicating 20% of time to strategic thinking to achieve long-term organizational growth.How to Develop Being a Mission-Driven Growth Catalyst As a SuperpowerLauren's superpower lies in being a "mission-driven growth catalyst." This unique ability allows her to inspire and execute change, transforming innovative ideas into scalable, impactful ventures. She empowers changemakers to evolve into effective business leaders while amplifying their impact.Lauren exemplified her superpower while working with Practice, a nonprofit in New York City. Recognizing the potential of using college students to mitigate summer learning loss for 1.1 million children, Lauren built systems and training programs to scale the initiative. Within five years, the organization grew to serve over 50,000 students annually, showcasing her talent for creating processes that drive large-scale change.Tips for Developing This Superpower:* Analyze Success: Regularly reflect on what is working well. Identify the specific steps and actions that led to success and document them.* Create Systems and Processes: Design repeatable systems for achieving desired outcomes. Train team members to implement these processes at scale.* Set and Track KPIs: Develop key performance indicators aligned with organizational goals. Monitor progress monthly and adjust to meet growth targets.* Carve Out Time for Strategy: Dedicate 20 percent of your time to think about long-term growth and innovative ideas rather than just day-to-day execution.* Engage Teams in Postmortems: After every project or milestone, review outcomes—good or bad—to identify lessons and refine processes.By following Lauren's example and advice, you can make "mission-driven growth catalyst" a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileLauren Reilly (she/her):Executive Director, Gratitude NetworkAbout Gratitude Network: Founded in 2014, Gratitude Network is a leadership development non-profit that improves the lives of children and youth around the world by accelerating the community impact of social entrepreneurs.

CLOs today must ask: Is our work building lasting, relevant skills right now? Are we delivering business impact? Is the work building or diminishing L&Ds effectiveness and credibility? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then perhaps it is time for a skills accelerator approach. This is the title of a CLO Lift report and in this episode, we unpack what it means and why it's critical to us, in L&D, but more importantly to our organisations and employees. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D professionals need to become true business partners instead of just trainers and focus on the development aspect of their role. When you focus on data you are effective, and the rest of the business understands that data. Leverage AI and simulations to deliver fast.  Understand the relevance of each skill. What is it about that skill or new technology that will enable the learner to do their job better? When your business does something new, be a part of the rollout so truly relevant learning is available from the start. BEST MOMENTS “Capability building can't just be through learning programs. It needs to be truly employee-centric.” “If we can spend less time churning content, we'll be able to spend more time developing people.” “The scope of an L&D leader can no longer be just what training program.” Heather Stefanski Heather Stefanski is a Partner and Chief Learning and Development Officer at McKinsey & Company, overseeing Learning & Development for 45,000+ global colleagues and leading the People Data and Analytics Teams.  During 28 years at McKinsey, she has held various roles in talent acquisition, professional development, and learning. She has an MBA and MA in Education from Stanford University, and a BS in Engineering and Operations Research from Princeton University. Bjorn Billhardt  Bjorn Billhardt is co-author of The 12-Week MBA and CEO of Abilitie which has trained 100,000 learners in 50 countries, including rising leaders at Fortune 500 companies like Coca-Cola and GE. He also co-founded Enspire Learning a custom e-learning development company and was a consultant and corporate trainer for McKinsey & Company.

How do we define work and the skills needed to do the work? The way we view and assess skills is often through assessing and appraising someone's output. But the problem is that most organizations aren't capturing the right data and using it to gain insight.According to Matt Donovan—the Chief Learning and Innovation Officer at GP Strategies—Job descriptions and skills in general describe the baseline. They are not what makes someone great at what they do. So how do we define the work and the skills needed to do the work? How can we capture a high-performer's secret sauce? What are they doing that's making it a successful experience versus what's written in the job description?We dive into a fascinating conversation about where we are now, how AI is going to both help and disrupt organizations, and what the future of skills assessment could look like. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...Join the RedThread Research Community!

"We don't have time for learning!” How many times have you heard this objection in your L&D career? There's just too much going on in the operation to make time for L&D activities. Plus, people are already overloaded with compliance training. This means learning is often seen as a distraction from work rather than an essential part of the job. How do we make learning a top priority, even in the busiest workplace? And how do we evolve the role of L&D from compliance-focused order takers to strategic business partners trusted to solve the organization's biggest performance challenges? In this episode of ITK, we're asking Dr. Keith Keating, Chief Learning & Development Officer at BDO Canada and author of the new book, The Trusted Learning Advisor. Keith will explain how L&D can live up to its full potential by establishing credibility with stakeholders, delivering value for organizations and positively impacting employees' lives.​For more about why Axonify is the proven employee enablement solution that equips frontlines with the essential tools to learn, connect and get things done, visit https://www.axonify.com.

Skills gaps in the federal workforce remain a significant barrier to reaching better end results in agencies' work. But across government, chief learning officers are taking on some of the challenging, long-term work to try to close those gaps. Generally, skills gaps arise when agencies either don't have the right skills on staff — or simply don't have enough employees in the first place — to effectively implement federal programs. Earlier this year, the Government Accountability Office reported that more than half of the government's biggest problem areas stem directly from mission-critical skills gaps. Agency chief learning officers (CLOs), often behind the scenes, try to ensure an agency's workforce has the skills it needs, particularly in mission-critical areas, such as data analytics, IT and cybersecurity. The senior-level CLO position is tasked with helping agencies first identify skills gaps, and then create a talent development strategy to try to improve those skills — including through offering training opportunities for current employees.

On this episode of The ASHHRA Podcast, we are joined by Gail Games, Vice President – Chief Learning & Development Officer for the Holzer Health System. Gail is a renowned expert in HR and coaching. She shares her insights on various topics related to workplace dynamics, values alignment, and effective training methods.Gail begins by emphasizing the importance of appreciating employees' abilities and positive intentions. She highlights the need for companies to align individuals with shared values to suitable job positions and offers her commitment to helping candidates find opportunities even if they aren't the right fit for their current company.Gail encourages candidates to refer others who might be better suited for the position, recognizing that even if someone doesn't work out initially, they may become a valuable asset in the future after gaining new skills and experience. She reflects on the negative impact of not receiving recognition for a job well done, discussing how a leader's lack of gratitude can make an employee feel undervalued. This, in turn, can lead to the employee seeking new job opportunities, causing misunderstandings and potential turnover.Drawing from her extensive background in healthcare HR, Gail emphasizes the importance of practical application and independent problem-solving in training. She advises against relying solely on PowerPoint presentations for adult learning and suggests that interactive activities are more effective for clinical skills and behavioral change.She introduces a process called "the purge," which involves brainstorming behaviors that are no longer tolerable and then flipping them to determine the desired expectations.

West Coast (Bureau) Innovation (ft. Ken Sterling)OPENING QUOTE:“I'm a homeless kid from New York who wants to connect and wants to be around people, and wants to be safe myself, and wants to make the world a safe place. And really my true north is people and living a positive, collaborative lifestyle with the people that I care about and that help make the world a better place.”-Ken SterlingGUEST BIO:Ken Sterling is Executive Vice President and Chief Learning officer of BigSpeak, the largest speaker bureau on the West coast. Ken is famous for designing BigSpeak's Bureau Alliance Program, which has revolutionized the way speaker bureaus collaborate and work together to create more abundance and exposure for their exclusive speaking clients.Ken holds a PhD in organizational leadership, an MBA, a master's in communication, and a JD. In addition to his leadership role in the speaking industry, Ken also teaches marketing and business ethics and law at UC Santa Barbara.Links:WebsiteLinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[15:09] - Disruptive InnovationHow BigSpeak built and scaled unlike anyone elseIf you want to innovate and truly make your speaking career into something powered by rocket fuel, you can't take five half-steps. You need to choose one or two pursuits, and then pursue the hell out of them with an all-in mindset. Don't half-embrace new technologies or new ideas. Embrace them all the way, then pivot if you need to. That's how Ken helped BigSpeak innovate in a big way.[22:22] - What a Buyer WantsIt's more than the topicsBuyers today want authenticity. They want unique perspectives, including those from diverse voices. They want speakers to demonstrate their capability not just onstage but in writing and other areas of your career. It's about more than just matching a specific topic. It's about representing something that a buyer can't find in any other speaker. [23:33] - The Other Pandemic“Unprecedented times” indeedEveryone focuses on COVID as the biggest shift to the speaking industry in recent memory. But to Ken, the bigger transformation was the shift toward more diverse and inclusive voices. In a world post-George Floyd and other events spurring conversations about marginalized voices, the speaking world is finally moving beyond the “white old guy in a suit” model for all speakers. There is — and has to be — room for diverse voices.[29:40] - The One ThingSetting yourself apart as a speakerKen advises that if a speaking topic is too broad, an audience won't feel like they're getting something new out of the hour they devote to your performance. Meanwhile, having a “one thing” which Ken calls your “zone of genius” helps set you apart in a crowded market, more than being the 1,000th speaker promising to simply “boost productivity.”[35:24] - Find Your True NorthThe missing ingredient for many speakersToo many speakers begin from a place of identifying what's hot in the speaker world, then trying to go after that. Instead, Ken advises that speakers start with what they truly own and have mastered — and are excited by! — and then finding a way to match that message to the current zeitgeist. Buyers want someone who truly owns their message, not someone who is following the latest trend.RESOURCES:[1:30] About BigSpeak[23:07] Ken's INC ColumnFollow Ken Sterling:WebsiteLinkedInFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

A 21st century career path can take many twists and turns. The skills you learn for one S Curve may not map perfectly to the next. That's why learning is the most important skill of all. That's some wisdom from Ekpedeme “Pamay” Bassey, the Chief Learning and Chief Diversity Officer at Kraft Heinz. And she should know. Before earning her many prestigious titles in the corporate world, she came from a background in standup comedy and improv. Pamay is a first generation Nigerian-American, born in New York City. Her heritage has deeply informed her approach to diversity and inclusion, but her passion for comedy made her career path unconventional to say the least. Pamay and Whitney discuss how to translate skills from one S Curve to another, especially when it comes to job interviews. And why it's so important to fill your eyes and ears with the stories of others who have accomplished great things. Pamay also explains how journaling regularly became a powerful self-reflection tool, especially during a difficult time of loss.

JB: How’d you get into sales?CG:Sales wasn’t something I went to school forBlack people in general, women of color are not involved in the tech sales industries as much as we’d like them to be. However black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs. Not a lack of business sense/acumen. It came from a lack of awareness and opportunity meeting them where they are at. Caribbean family, they are adventurous, came to America looking for adventure and opportunity. That is one of the biggest things in business & sales is being confident taking a step outside yourself, taking a risk in your decisions.  I was raised in that structure. That’s how I navigated through life, that’s how I saw America and opportunities ahead of me. But that’s not everyone’s view and opinion of America or where they are. It goes to show how important mindset is. I was raised to believe opportunity existed for me anywhere I go no matter what I do. I operate with a sense of positivity. I thought I wanted to be a lawyer, that didn't work, maybe drama. That didn’t work out. Hopped on Craigslist in 2013 and saw an ad for Yelp. The mindset piece, there are ads for jobs everywhere, but if you aren’t operating with a sense of utility. I applied on a whim, just looking for something that I could manage while I was still trying to figure out what I was still really passionate about, then I got the job. Got the job, had a one foot in, one foot out mentality. I wasn’t sure if it was for me or not. But once I got on the phone, something clicked and I was able to gamify it and make it fun.  I wasn’t totally connected to it, but it was just another version of me, and didn't see it as my natural progression to being an AE/Leader/VP. Through that work I realized I could gamify this and am actually good at this, that realization that I am GREAT at this. Most of us that come into sales from a non-traditional background, may take a little longer to get to that AHA! Moment. If they aren’t feeling supported by their team or community, somebody that could be a fantastic salesperson may not get to that place. I was lucky to be in a sandbox that allowed me to learn and help me get there. JB: Our upbringing has such an impact on our mindset, how we approach our lives and what we do. Seeing your parents leave their family and their home is such a big risk to take, seeing that type of mentality and mindset is fascinating. Talk to me about community and how you are building DI&B to the companies you work with and building Sistas in Sales as well as building belonging in the companies they are part of. CG:At Yelp! I was growing and realized I was one of the only Black sales leaders and was my own pioneer.I grew up in a Caribbean community, living a few blocks from my childhood home in the Bronx. As I moved through the ranks I was less and less connected to what I knew. It was scary for a few reasons being outside of your community. You don’t have experience connecting with people. We like to be around folks that make us comfortable. It’s hard when you’re in a space where you aren’t sure if you’re an enemy or a friend as a black personI was inspired to step out of my comfort zone and realize Oh i’m alone now and nobody is in charge which helped inspire me to start thinking about SIS. JB: Humans are tribal, that is our root and through Covid so many people are individualized and on their own that takes away our power to be better people that allows us to achieve more as a group. As we talk about getting through that fear initial as you talk to women, especially Black women.  What are you hearing as some of those moments that have helped them get over that initial hurdle to go into something less familiar?CG:It all came down to being in the same spaceI started SIS at a dinner party and found women I knew that were committed to sales so I knew that group would have to be committed to salesMost people don’t get to that stage because it takes awhile to move through the BDR/SDR role to further their sales careerI found 10 people, but didn’t know most of them and +1’sI wanted them to know I took it seriously and we put together this beautiful EVENT, with floating candles, beautiful spread, catering, fresh flowers and so much more. I didn’t ask all the questions I wanted to until the last 15 minutes because all they wanted to do was connect with each other, open up conversations, create a group chat, take pictures and connect! It was amazing and validated my career!It was magical and an amazing experience for people representative of Tech, non-profit sales, fashion industry. People didn’t realize their skills are applicable to other industries because you may not think that you have anything to share. That feeling of opportunity was the magic in the room! People connecting and they turned into a focus group and is how SIS was born! JB: Tell us about SIS and what you’re doing now as a community!CG: We had 10 members, Salesforce gave us some space, somehow had 50 people showing up and now up to 3,000 members and now Hannah is our head of Europe in the UK!In the early days of a company you know where your customers are coming from; they’re your family and friends.Now it’s hard to know how people are finding us.That’s why I ask how you found out about us!Through talking and evangelizing, more and more women are flocking here!JB: What do you guys do? What has surprised you about this community?CG:We were event based strictly to start, but now are making sure all black and brown women can be successful and find mentored by veterans in the space from people with leadership in the community. It was really tough to rattle off 4-5 Black women at the exec level in sales at the time that was my measure of success. It’s through events who had never been tapped to talk that are now bringing that awareness in the community and we can rattle off 40-50! All online events last year, 1500 attendees at our summit going for 3,000 this year and 30 countriesNow investing in the members sales growth. Chief Learning officer who does sales coaching with these women and then some additional big announcements. Job boards in beta coming out soon for companies who want to partner and can post their job boards. Looking to grow their operations to support their community as it grows. A business as its 4th year starting to make major investments in our operations.Team meeting with team of 6- a community turned company now have to be this way now and couldn’t do it without their sponsors. It’s a self-feeding system that they’re in. We grow as fast as we can get resources to grow and are so thankful for our sponsors. JB: Recording in Mental Health Awareness month in May. Talk to us about the Therapy Post as you mention it’s been a game changer for you.  Therapy has been such a powerful thing for me even as I took some time off because therapy is a powerful vehicle for awareness and change.  You’re running your Mental health challenge. Talk to us about how Therapy has impacted you. CG:I am a planner and you just start to accept who you are. As my dad got sicker and sicker I was having anticipatory grief. I don’t think people should wait for a really bad experience to find therapy. It was so powerful for me, I am trying to create a group therapy in our 90 Day Challenge.Many black people are “just happy to be here” which I want to challenge and have people approach their career with a little more direction and change their mindset.  It’s much more mental than physical, getting through the imposter syndrome mindset and being more in the present. Having a therapist that may help you get comfortable having a conversation with your manager about a pay raise, a promotion and not just being OK to be there. Understanding your relationship with money, how you spend your money, bonuses and commissions.Sales careerPersonal finance, what is our relationship with money?WellnessMotherhood - Many black women are the matriarch of the familyRelationshipsMeet every 2 weeks on these topics then come together with a summit and discuss as a group.JB: Many people wait for something terrible to happen before they will approach therapy.  It’s looked at as a last resort, I’m broken which is so far from the truth as to how you can understand yourself and be prepared for the bad stuff that does happen when we fall on our face. How do you bounce back from the tough months?CG: Therapy has helped me have a lot more self-awareness. Sales for me when I started selling I didn’t realize how formulaic it was.  If I didn't close something it was one of hte many different variables, in actuality there was something I could’ve done better but I needed to identify my patterns like not prospecting enough in My resilience came from experience and came from being honest with myself it’s not something I need to be attached to or take personally. And that takes a lot of the emotional strain off of you, the negative self-talk isn’t necessary. Write down the actions that you did and look for what was missing and go from there. JB: Love winning or hate losing? CG:I love WINNING more. I don’t think about losses as hatred, it’s more of a learning moment. I enjoy looking at my losses with a scavenger hunt mentality.  What did I do here? It’s actually pretty cool to me, you have that voice in your head that helps you sense when things are off track. It’s not really a loss, it's a predictable outcome based upon how you go about your sales motion.  I like a win, especially a predictable win, which helps me feel even more control of how I am going to operate.  I know how this goes, I’ve seen this song before. JB: Top qualities in leaders that you look up to, respect and try to emulate?CG: I love leaders that are curious about the industry that they serveYes sales oriented but you realize we are selling CONCEPTS and to sell that you have to be educated in the industry, know your competitive spaceBe as curious as risky as it was for your CEO to build the company to begin withThis is the concept I want you to be bought into - i’m not talking about the features then I can bring that level of enthusiasm to the customerI like a manager that has sales strategies but it’s the excitement we bring to the customer that will break these walls downJB: What does success mean to you?CG:For right now,  getting my footing here, as 1st gen American, I’m still figuring out what that means to me. I’m motivated to create financial success for myself. We’re all somewhat motivated by that in sales.  It’s something that anchors me, makes me feel comfortable and safe.  I’m building enough family here and making enough business decisions to help me feel buoyant.  JB: How can we build diversity in sales and be a champion. CG: You're going to have to put in work to get people to see the value of being in sales and to join on the rocket ship that you’re on. The language of business being in your household.I had the language of opportunity, but there are some people that had the language of business, sales is not a foreign concept for many families, but it is for many black and brown communities. I can’t point to a mom who is an ex-Salesforce VP.   JB: Where can people find you? CG:Sistas In Salesinfo@sistasinsales.comVirtual Sales Summit

On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology. I invite guests to share their expertise about small or big acts of leadership. In Episode 17, Matt Donovan talks about how we can rethink conflict. He envisions how we can transform leadership similarly to how we have shifted to being customer-centric or learner-centric. He cautions us to find a balance between checking-in virtually and doing the work. 00:00 Prologue: The Future Looks Bright! Matt's GP Strategies title is fitting: Chief Learning & Innovation Officer. Whether because of his role or just because of who he is, Matt is thinking decades ahead into the future about talent development. Since I've known Matt, I've seen him astound listeners with stories of how organizations are transforming how their workforce learns. I also know Matt as a mentor for emerging professionals. Like most guests, his stewardship is extraordinary! 01:32 Part 1: A Lesson from Martial Arts Practicing martial arts requires physical and mental discipline. Like leadership, each martial art has underlying principles. While you can learn a martial art without understanding the principles, you won't become proficient. Matt explains a lesson he learned from his father about applying Aikido to engaging conflicting viewpoints. 07:17 Part 2: How should Leadership Shift? To rise from good to great in product development, you need to shift from product-centric to customer-centric. In the talent-development field, the equivalent shift is from topic-centric (or content-centric) to learner-centric. With leadership, Matt believes we need to make a similar shift. 16:35 Part 3: Virtual Collaboration Overload Matt talks about interacting and working with people virtually. When meeting, we need to figure out the balance between checking in with people and doing the work with them. Matt introduces us to Rob Cross' concept, Collaboration Overload. _________________________________ How You Can Support the Show Unlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.
