One of the most useful mindset shifts for an L&D leader: Stop thinking of the function as the company’s school. Start thinking of it as a business.

Your competitors might be: Google. YouTube. A subject-matter expert. A manager’s favorite vendor. ChatGPT. Or the business simply doing nothing. So why should someone come to L&D?

Are you faster? Better? Cheaper? More tailored? Better connected to performance? More trusted? The seat at the table doesn’t come from calling yourself strategic. It comes from being useful to the business. (or from making your own table - more on that later).

Firing up X after about 1,500 days (4 years) of not touching it - so much has changed here! Do we still call it “tweeting”? Are we X-ing? What do we call this thing I’m doing?

Is it “posting”? Sounds generic.

Is #strategy a part of your L&D function?
Traditional L&D structures are too narrow. Learning should drive the generation, formulation, and execution of #strategy.

Well said, eliminating sugar-coating while also being caring is key; aligns very well with @kimballscott’s @candor work!
"Those who take pride in being 'brutally honest' are often more interested in being brutal than they are in being honest." -@BobBurg You can be candid without sacrificing care. When you get radical transparency right, it doesn't feel brutal. It feels helpful. #TuesdayThoughts

Are you #creative with #ProblemSolving? How can you have more “Aha!” moments? Hint: in addition to focusing on the right solution, think of ‘all the solutions’. Here are 10 ways to improve your creativity using #neuroscience - link.medium.com/TCDav3vMo1 #learning #development
Yes! Love #JOMO and all this #Essentialism related (@GregoryMcKeown)
If you feel tyrannized by your to do list, throw it away. If you really need a list, make a "proactive forbearance" list of the things you are NOT going to do, and then feel good about not doing them. Turn FOMO (fear of missing out) into JOMO (joy of missing out).
