What do 146 L&D professionals care most about? What are the killer stats L&D should know about right now? Is ‘learning content' really necessary? What questions will be pulled from the cuddly toy's posterior? Find out the answers to all these questions and more in this very special live edition of The Learning & Development Podcast with guests Nick Shackleton-Jones and Kenny Temowo. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding how to provide their organisation with greater value and impact is a big concern for L&D professionals. 75% of people said their work leader had more of an influence on their mental health than their life partner does. Experiential training for leaders enables them to better understand how their behaviour and expectations impact those who work for them. The fact that future generations look at work differently is having a huge impact on L&D. When people are offered face-to-face training, they feel invested in. Gamification isn´t working but simulations are. If you can´t see a measurable change (ROI) the chances are you should not be doing it. Content has to be carefully crafted to be relevant. BEST MOMENTS 'I would make sure that we're really involving and holding accountable the leaders.' 'How do we help organizations manage stability, the sense of belonging and psychological safety that we need.' 'Content only matters to you if it's relevant somehow.'

On today's show, we discuss: The Power of Authenticity in Personal and Professional Growth: We delve into how embracing one's true self, both in personal life and at work, can lead to genuine growth and development. This includes the idea of presenting an authentic self, rather than a version shaped by societal or professional expectations. The Impact of Social Media on Personal Identity: We explore how platforms like TikTok and LinkedIn influence our perception of identity and success. The conversation touches on the idea of social media flattening complex human experiences into two-dimensional portrayals, often leading to a loss of depth and authenticity. The Evolution of Learning and Employee Experience: We discuss the transformation of learning and development (L&D) and employee experience in the workplace. This includes a critical look at traditional L&D approaches and the potential future direction of workplace learning, emphasizing experience design and the importance of adapting to individual needs. Navigating the Challenges of Neurodiversity in the Workplace: We examine the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals in professional settings. This includes personal experiences and insights into how workplaces can better accommodate diverse cognitive styles for more inclusive and effective collaboration. Plus much more!

Welcome to Elite Thinking Club: A Show Dedicated to Critical Thinking

Have you ever wanted to hear learning experts with different views explore ways in which they disagree? Respectfully, of course.Well, this is our opportunity to listen in on a couple of L&D titans as they debate.Enjoy Guy Wallace and Nick Shackleton-Jones as they discuss and debate the differences in their opinions and approaches in response to questions posed by Gabrielle Bayme and moderated by David James. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D can´t be all fun and games. It also needs a challenge. Changing someone's performance is not always about learning, other resources need to be used too. Providing effective guidance means you do not need such a highly skilled workforce. People need context, show them how to apply what they learn to their job.

It's an open secret that businesses throw huge sums of money at training that is often grossly ineffective. If we're going to stop this collective madness, Nick Shackleton-Jones, CEO and Founder of Shackleton Consulting, believes we need to change the way we think about learning. In this episode, find out why you need to start questioning the conventions, explore how to get your stakeholders on board with a better alternative, and dive into his tips and strategies for delivering high-impact learning experiences. Ep. 47 Brought to you by Elucidat. 

We talk organisational learning cultures and whether L&D is Toxic to a Learning Culture! We will find out what an earth we mean by an organisational learning culture, why so many L&D departments are missing the point and how we should improve and foster a learning culture to drive business performance. Not for the faint at heart – some uncomfortable truths are laid bare as our panel look to shake up the status quo. Introducing our panel - Nick Shackleton-Jones is a revolutionary. Often intentionally antagonistic is his pursuit to change L&D from “courses to resources”. Having had a career in corporate life and in consulting, Nick recently launched his own company Shackleton Consulting. Nick is the author of revered book, “How People Learn” and multi-award winner for his efforts in changing organisational learning. Dr Nigel Paine is a change-focused leader with a worldwide reputation and a unique grasp of learning and development in the public, private and academic sectors.

YOUR HOST & FOUNDER OF HR RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS – “Having graduated with a History degree, I was persuaded into a career in recruitment having been applying to graduate schemes. Whilst I failed in securing a role on a graduate scheme, I was lucky enough to be offered a chance to become a trainee Recruitment Consultant in 2008. In 2011, I started to work exclusively with the HR profession. I have since recruited HR professionals for business in numerous countries from entry–level to C-Suite from start-ups to blue-chip multinationals. I have a passion for the profession and how it helps businesses be successful and create great places to work. My curiosity and passion for HR was why I decided to set up Hosting HR to share ideas within the profession and to have a bit of fun doing it too.

Learning & Development functions need to move beyond education if they are to fulfil their potential but what does that actually mean? In this episode, Nick shares his Learning Maturity model and we discuss what this means practically for L&D, organisations and each stakeholder within it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Learning Maturity is Person-Centred Design. Audience interest is critical. You need to address the things they care about in ways that transform. Emotion plays a vital role in learning. People prefer face-to-face to e-learning. Being better and faster at their job is the No. 1 thing people want. Training should help people to develop not just perform better. People stay if they feel valued and included. L&D needs to facilitate and increase the availability of learning experiences that are already being used within an organisation. Hybrid learning is different from blended learning. How is explained in the podcast. Often managers are there for the rain dance and they don´t care if it rains. BEST MOMENTS 'L&D is still largely set in an education mindset.' 'Understand what matters to your audience. That´s going to determine what they remember, It´s your key lever.' 'When the word learning is included in the communication, people are around 25% less likely to engage with it.' 'They were there for the rain dance, and they didn´t really care if it rains or not.'

“Stop doing education and start doing learning.” The truth is: we forget the great majority of what we learn. This is a serious problem, that has a major bearing on business training programmes and the way learning & development is shaped. Are we thinking about learning the wrong way? Don't we all learn in the same way, with many small individual variations? Will L&D be able to break the mould, to really start focussing on learning? But where should we start when redefining our L&D strategies? Our guests that will help us grabbling these questions are Nick Shackleton-Jones and Tom Bos. Nick Shackleton-Jones has an impressive carreer in positions with Siemens, the BBC and Deloitte and now as CEO and Founder of Shackleton Consulting. He is also the author of: How People Learn. Tom Bos is managing director of Online Academy.

Nathan was joined by a very special guest on the first episode of a new season sponsored by the Heat Geek Team. Nathan has been trying to help the heating industry realise there needs to be a paradigm shift in the way we train people. Many people are  now involved in the training and education discourse, but unfortunately they have little understanding around the science of learning. So, for this episode, Nathan interviews one of the world's leading experts on the subject Nick Shackleton Jones. Nick has worked for Siemens , the BBC and BP and has his own consultancy. Nathan studies the science of learning himself and you will enjoy hearing them discuss psychologists such as Piaget, Vygotsky and Bowlby. There is even a bit of Plato.Education and learning are two completely distinct things and in fact education gets in the way of learning. We possibly won't break the paradigm of the whole of education but now the world needs to decarbonise can the heating and renewable industry reshape how people learn? In this episode we also hear Nick discuss his affective context model, which is his general theory of learningAre we training all the heating engineers we need for the energy transition the right way or are we sticking to convention? Nick has en excellent book which you can find here. It is Nathan's favourite book on the subject of learning. Enjoy the showYou can find a discount code to the heat geek course here

Perhaps most significant however is his 2019 book, “How People Learn” where Nick not only explores the design principles of his 5Di model, but also common approaches, such as gamification and education, and highlights their limitations compared with actually finding and targeting what people are actually concerned about. So, time to explore all that and more as I welcome Nick to The Leadership Untitled Podcast.

In these difficult times we are given endless opportunities to learn and develop, but what separates organisations and individuals that learn effectively from those that don't? What potential gains can be harnessed by taking a genuine learning approach to experiences, and role do leaders play in this evolution? Helping to answer these questions is Nick Shackleton-Jones: iconoclast, free thinking learning expert, HR Director, Learning at Deloitte UK, and author of How People Learn. Meet our guest: https://www.headspringexecutive.com/podcasts/how-people-learn/ (Nick Shackleton-Jones)

This episode is part of the Learning Uncut Disruption series.  This pop-up daily series aims to equip learning professionals with practical guidance and tips to get started or scale up with practices needed as part of their organisational response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Nick Shackleton-Jones is the author of How People Learn.  He developed the Affective Context Model as a general theory of how people learn.  In this episode he discusses the role of emotions in learning, going so far as to suggest that emotion is the process behind learning.  In a period of heightened emotion it’s even more important to understand what matters to people – what their concerns really are.  He strongly recommends avoiding content dumping and using resources rather than courses to respond to people’s concerns.

Gemma Critchley is Head of Technology & Innovation for Learning at Aviva and her mission is to make work feel more like real life by focusing on creating effortless, useful, beautiful experiences that solve real business problems.  We discuss this in detail in relation to the actual work Gemma and her team do and the results they seek. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the most important things in learning and development is to design things with and for people, really focussing on what they care about, what they're struggling with, what their problems are, and design accordingly.   Innovation can be a scary word. But by looking at what is taking place within organisations, and not keeping learning and development within a bubble, we can listen to the people who do the actual work, and develop in a positive way.   The Five DI Methodology is about defining a problem before you start the work: Define, Discover, Design, Develop, Deploy, Iterate.   There can be a mentality that when you create a learning project and put it out into the world, you're done. But you should always look at the impact it's having, measure it, and make it better.   Technological innovations in L&D mean that instead of treating development as some kind of field trip, companies can treat it more as though it's part of the workflow, meaning that it can be communicated and absorbed more efficiently.   When people go through transitions within the context of an organisation, things become predictable, repeatable and then it's all about the timeliness. If you can anticipate when people experience that then you can have that point on an automated workflow to surface the things that people require, and when.   Gemma found something of a culture shock when she moved from marketing to L&D, in that marketing is very much data led. By tapping into the data being amassed about her customers, she was able to pinpoint the exact requirements and most effective methods of reaching them at all times. L&D's data only seems to come after the fact, and so being able to pinpoint the development required is much more difficult. But the industry is getting there.   Judge the success of any venture by measuring the difference in the business as a result of having implemented something new. BEST MOMENTS ‘We forget that there's a human in Human Resources' ‘Let's not focus on what's wrong, let's focus on what could be better' ‘Learning and development is about finding out what people are up against and then helping them' 'That's what learning is missing: that campaign mentality' ‘We use data as the autopsy' ‘You've got a North Star that you can work to. You need a guiding light' ABOUT THE GUEST Gemma Critchley has been leading teams to develop, manage and market digital products in learning, talent, social media and marketing for over 10 years. As Head of Technology & Innovation for Learning at Aviva, Gemma leads a team to deliver commercial outcomes through innovative approaches to learning, talent and organisational development, with a focus on the digital transformation. Using innovation, technology, storytelling and experience design her ultimate aim is to deliver real business results.

The range of emotions we are allowed to show in the workplace is fairly limited. We can be happy, we can be passionate, we can be enthusiastic. But anything beyond that is often seen as unprofessional or inappropriate. Is it time we rethink the role of emotion at work? This week on the podcast, Ross D and Ross G are joined by Emotion at Work's Phil Willcox to discuss: how emotion manifests itself in the workplace the range of emotions that are acceptable at work the role HR/L&D can play in creating emotional 'safe spaces'  If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find us on Twitter @ross__dickie, @RossGarnerGP and @PhilWillcox.

In this episode, I'm joined by Nick Shackleton-Jones. Nick puts his theories into the context of an L&D leader, showing practical guidance on a bottom-up approach for delivering human-centered learning at scale, which types of learning experience will build better engagement, how to benchmark the effectiveness of your learning strategy, and finally, how to capture authentic stories on camera within your organization – and why. Today, I’m joined by my colleague Kirstie Greany, who is herself an expert in digital learning. (EP6)

Today on The Learning & Development Podcast, David talks to Nick Shackleton-Jones, the author of How People Learn and a genuine thought leader on Learning & Development, to talk more about how we can improve our learning and training strategies for our employees. It must be centred on how they could grow and develop themselves so we can expect high performance. Discover in this episode how we can use simulations to determine solutions, the pull and push method, producing content, and many more.  Start changing your perspective on learning for the better when you tune in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  How can a genuine thought leader be differentiated from a fake one? Genuine thought leaders don't say what you want to hear; they say what you need to hear. Be ready to what they say even though some truths might be unpleasant.  When producing content for learning, it's important to know how it can help. Know the main concerns first, so you'll know what can be the solutions to present. Do an analysis of what worked and what didn't work for them in the past.  How can Learning & Development align better to the business? “Solve their problems first, not translate them into your solutions.”   Models that exist today only serve those who are at the top, not the people who really need the service. Find out who your audience is.   The effective context model is supposed to underpin all learning phenomena for all in different contexts. The pull and push approach is useful since we only react to things we care.   What to Consider When Redesigning L&D Strategies:  Creating resources  Experience design—responding to challenges and creating challenges  The Learning & Development sector should be ready for disruptions that could boost the strategies and services. For example, technology is becoming more functional for everyone.  BEST MOMENTS  “I'd like to think that people entering the world of learning development believed that it was an antidote to the weirdness and bureaucracy.”  “Our challenges drive our learning.”  “The only way to get them to efficiently to just know it is to find out what they care about today.”  “Let's not come to people with PowerPoint presentations when we have some time to have valuable time together to talk about what they think, to share experiences, and to learn from each other.”  “We are eliminating learning in the interest of making everything more usable.”  ABOUT THE GUEST  Nick Shackleton-Jones  Nick is a genuine thought-leader in Learning & Development, responsible for coining the ‘courses to resources' shift and the affective context model of learning.   He began his professional life as a psychology lecturer and went on to lead learning functions at Siemens, BBC & BP. He's now a consultant and author of ‘How People Learn' (Kogan Page, May 2019) as well as winning several awards for people development strategy, innovation, and learning content, including the Learning & Performance Institute's Award for Services to the Learning Industry, 2017.   You can follow and contact Nick via:  Twitter: @shackletonjones  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shackletonjones/  How People Learn: https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-People-Learn-Designing-Performance/dp/0749484705  ABOUT THE HOST  David James   David has been a People Development professional for more than 20 years, most notably as Director of Talent, Learning & OD for The Walt Disney Company across Europe, the Middle East & Africa.   As well as being the Chief Learning Strategist at Looop, David is a prominent writer and speaker on topics around modern and digital L&D as well as an active member of the CIPD L&D Advisory Board.   CONTACT METHOD   Twitter:  https://twitter.com/davidinlearning/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjameslinkedin/   Website: https://www.looop.co/    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The GoodPractice Podcast, we're talking fundamentals: how do people learn? Nick Shackleton-Jones joins Ross G and Owen to discuss his new book, How People Learn, in which he argues that people don't learn anything if they don't care. Or, to put it in Nick's term, if they don't have an 'affective response'. What does this mean and how should Nick's insights change our approach to designing courses, resources and experiences? Also: we argue about e-learning for ten minutes. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson and @ShackletonJones.

Everyone loves workplace learning. It means two days away from the office with the potential for a decent lunch! But it shouldn't actually involve 'learning', should it? In this week's episode of The GoodPractice Podcast, Nick Shackleton-Jones from PA Consulting joins Ross G and Owen to ask if we need to reposition workplace learning so that it can truly make a difference in our colleagues' lives. We ask what 'proper' L&D would look like, and discuss the importance of discomfort.

In this episode you get to hear Nick Shackleton-Jones, Sukh Pabial & I explore and share our views of emotion, cognition, memory and learning.  The conversation takes turns and explores areas I didn’t plan or expect and was really intersting all the same.   We talk about the affective context model where Nick suggests that as humans everything that we think, has an emotional basis behind it.  We talk about using repetition in learning, making things memorable and emotionally evocative and how at times we just need to attend to what others are concerned about.   As we cover a lot of ground, there are a LOT of resources and links all listed below.   Nick’s original blog post that started this conversation https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-dont-think-nick-shackleton-jones   Sukh’s post in response https://pabial.wordpress.com/2017/11/29/you-dont-think-except-that-you-do/   Philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche Martin Heidegger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger   Relevance Theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_theory   Working memory summary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baddeley%27s_model_of_working_memory   TED talk on how your working memory makes sense of the world https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_doolittle_how_your_working_memory_makes_sense_of_the_world   Episodic memory summary https://www.livescience.com/43682-episodic-memory.html   Semantic (or declarative memory) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_memory   Herman Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve   Summary of Bartlett’s 1932 Study ‘war of the ghosts’ https://www.thinkib.net/psychology/page/8195/bartlett-1932   Elizabeth Loftus talking at TED about the fallability of memory https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_loftus_the_fiction_of_memory   Harris (1973) study into estimates of basketball player height http://psycnet.apa.org/record/1973-23011-001   Concern - Task - Resource Model http://www.aconventional.com/2015/03/concern-task-resource-model.html   Iowa Gambling Study https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_gambling_task   Paul Ekman and Emotion https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emotions-Revealed-Understanding-Faces-Feelings/dp/0753817659/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515765283&sr=8-1&keywords=emotions+revealed   Tal Ben-Shahar and wellbeing and positive psychology  http://www.talbenshahar.com/?CategoryID=170&ArticleID=89   Martin Seligman and positive psychology https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flourish-Understanding-Happiness-Well-Being-Achieve/dp/1857885694/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1515765324&sr=1-3&keywords=martin+seligman   The Charity Mind https://www.mind.org.uk   Antonio Damasio - Descartes error https://www.amazon.co.uk/Descartes-Error-Emotion-Reason-Human/dp/0099501643/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1515765517&sr=1-1&keywords=Descartes+error   How we decide by Jonah Lehrer https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-We-Decide-Jonah-Lehrer/dp/0618620117   Daniel Kahneman- Thinking Fast and Slow https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0141033576/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1515767025&sr=1-1&keywords=thinking+fast+and+slow   The TED talk I mention on how people look back on their lives positively https://youtu.be/8KkKuTCFvzI
