How To Make A Leader (Podcast Interview)

Does your L&D team's work land strategically — or just by chance?
⌚️ Worth 22 minutes if you hunger for the former. Or if you're leading a team and your culture needs more than another training calendar.

🕺🏻 I bought this super festive shirt in Madrid this summer. Then wore it while talking Learning Philosophies & Culture with Hannah Beaver 😅

Earlier this year, I joined Big Think+ on their 'How To Make A Leader' podcast and shared that most L&D teams are building programs — yet the best ones are also building philosophies.

A brand's Learning Philosophy is a North Star — a shared belief system about how people grow — and it repositions your L&D team from content creators to Cultural Amplifiers. 🚀

We covered:
➤ Learning Culture vs. Learning Philosophy
➤ The three realms every L&D program ideally serves
➤ The SPARK framework (from my time at On ☁️🏃‍➡️)
➤ How to get leadership buy-in

P.S. — 🎶 My first career as a professional artist comes up. If you're curious, next week I'll share more about my past life + how it impacts the work I do and how I hope to support others via the learning experiences my teams create.
