Description

Here we go! Diving into Episode 2 of the L&D Must Change Podcast, I start off with a few thoughts on what's "abuzz" in the L&D Must Change community these days: Measurement and... emotion! Then, I talk with Stephen Mostrom, founder of Develop Daily, about how learning happens in the context of real life more often than it happens in the pristine environments of classrooms and e-learnings. Thus, the question becomes, how can we, as L&D professionals, develop learning experiences that align with our learners' real lives, amidst the chaos, stressors, and growing 'to do' lists? Stephen and I discuss: How learning happens within the context of real life vs. within formal rational pristine environments (classrooms). A strategy for employees to strategically 'Develop Daily' in less than 15 minutes per day for habit-forming, skill-stacking growth that activates learning and engagement at scale. Specific and strategic identification of the skills each individual needs to develop within their own career. The ultimate skill to keep us all competitive and growing, the ability to continuously re-skill. The three enemies of growth that professionals run into on a dailly basis: The 'Learning Cliff,' random acts of learning, and employee disengagement (quiet quitting). The importance of understanding learners' everyday realities and one action L&D can take to start better understanding these realities as well as how learning might happen within them. Stephen Mostrom has several letters behind his name – JD, MBA, and PMP. But his titles are more important: DaDa and Founder. After spending a decade building internal L&D programs at Bank of America and Silicon Valley Bank, Stephen made the jump to entrepreneurship. He's the Founder of Develop Daily, a career development consultancy. When Stephen's not delivering workshops, he's busy reading and crushing it on LinkedIn, where he publishes his Develop Daily newsletter. He enjoys hiking, red wine, podcasts, traveling, and a good indie film.
