Burnout and wellbeing

In this episode we discuss whether coaching is always the right approach and whether it's over-relied upon as an intervention.

In this episode we discuss the trend of high profile companies asking their employees to return to the office and how this impacts us in L&D. We also discuss how location plays a significant factor in the equation and whether there's a bias towards big cities.

This episode is an 'off the cuff' episode where we didn't decide on a topic before the discussion started. However, it's a great honest conversation which gravitated around the role of creativity in the workplace. We delve into how creative L&D practitioners often get to be, what challenges often crop up when attempting to be creative and everything that comes with it.

In this episode we discuss how we navigate the ebbs and flows of L&D life.

Paul and I discuss the state of AI in L&D. (please note this was recorded around the time of April 2024 and things move fast!)

Paul and I share our thoughts on behavioural science, common biases, what we can take from the practice and apply in L&D, and a framework you can add to your toolkit to help you when changing behaviour in the workplace.

We discuss the ebbs and flows of work in Learning & Development. How one minute you can be rushed off your feet and the next waiting for that next big project and how this can impact your wellbeing... part one of a two part episode.

Everyone shares their highlight reels, so we decided to share some recent occasions where we've made mistakes or had a near miss.

We share our experiences navigating the feeling of imposter syndrome and comparing ourselves with others during our careers in Learning & Development.

Some countries are starting to return to some degree of 'normal'. In this episode we discuss whether face to face training is coming back (from observing the industry), whether it should come back and if so, what considerations needs to be made in order for it to be successful.
