THE PRACTICE
learning, brand & culture.
Learning shapes how we grow. Brand shapes how we show up. Culture and collaboration shape how we work together. These are the threads that run through everything we do, and everything we write about here.
L&D Open Forum with Mentimeter (60 min)
From Menti, “Hosted by Lisa Wetter (with Brownie in frame, obviously), we were joined by Lori Niles-Hofmann, Dwayne Britton, and Saga Forsmark for a session shaped entirely by the audience.
Here’s what you wanted to talk about:
🧠 How to build a real learning culture
🤖 Making AI actually useful for learning
🫠 And what to do if your LMS disappeared tomorrow”
Grateful — And Wanting To Give Back (Free Mentorship Sessions)
Back when I was freelancing just out of university, I wore every hat — creator, manager, marketeer, product. I spent a lot of time in my own head. What helped me stay grounded was mentorship from those who personally invested in my career + my own being of service to others.
Full Interview: “Can Culture Save L&D?” (35 min)
Really enjoyed this conversation w/ Adam Lacey on "The Assembly" by Assemble You.
We dug into some of my favorite topics + a few of my foundational POVs on L&D:
(1) Learning Culture as an extension of Brand Culture
(2) Why every company needs a Learning Philosophy
(3) How L&D can evolve from a traditional support function into Culture Amplifiers 🚀
New Strategic Advisor Role At Manageable
Happy to share my new role as an L&D Strategic Advisor with Manageable.
As they believe (and I wholeheartedly agree): workplaces should be a source of inspiration, growth, and joy — and everyone deserves a great manager.
Shaping The Future Of Work: Top Employee Engagement Leaders
Creating people-focused, culture-steeped learning experiences where connection, creativity + a sense of belonging drive the impact is my passion.
Big thanks to the teams I’ve led who have built this kind of work alongside me + the brands that have trusted me to shape & amplify their cultures.
London Calling: Offbeat Fest
In my talk, Building a Case for a Learning Philosophy, I’ll share how principles from On’s S.P.A.R.K. Philosophy were designed to align development efforts with brand strategy, shape culture & amplify impact.
From Culture to Competitive Advantage: The Case for a Learning Philosophy.
“When L&D teams can show how their approach shapes business culture — by defining how learning becomes a strategic edge — then suddenly, you're not just running programs. You're shaping the future.”
A Favorite Question
“My experience is that this question communicates that I'm sincerely interested in the whole person (which I am), not just how they earn a living. And when folks feel like their entire person is valued, they show up remarkably differently when collaborating.”
