In this enlightening episode of the Connect Podcast brought to you by Talent Talks and Life Online, our Editor-in-Chief, Kerryn Kohl, engages in an insightful discussion with Linda van der Loo, an executive partner for learning innovation at Blue Pebble Consulting and EdCast Africa. The podcast delves into the evolving domain of learning and development, stressing the critical importance of being abreast of the latest advancements in the field. Linda contributes her unique insights from the Learning Health Index and ponders over the shift toward hybrid learning environments within organizations.

The narrative delves into the necessity of making learning content relevant to learners' needs. It offers advice on how Learning and Development professionals can tweak their strategies to cater to these requirements, particularly in the context of upskilling, reskilling, and multi-skilling. The conversation also covers the significant role of technology in facilitating learning and development and debates organizations' need to rethink learning and development as immersive experiences rather than simple digital content dissemination.

The podcast covers critical challenges in retaining engagement rates for learning platforms and emphasizes disciplined learning practices for consistent learner development. It also underscores the paramount role of learning and development functions in guiding employees through shifts in digital transformations.

A significant focus is given to the need for adapting learning and development strategies in the wake of the hybrid world. The episode wraps up by stressing the importance of data utilization for informed decision-making and improvements in strategies in the learning and development segment.

Further segments of discussion involve the marvels of real-time analytics in learning and development, and the evolution of learning models complemented by the role of data in deciding effective approaches. The conversation also scrambles around the increasing popularity of hybrid learning, the relevance of learning materials, and methods of gauging effect beyond mere engagement metrics. The podcast concludes on a thought-provoking note, questioning the recognition and importance of learning within organizations and preserving it in the era of Learning and Development evolution.

Joining me is conversation today is Rikky Minyuku. Rikky is the Associate Director at Womaniko Transforming Spaces.  Together through our 'Mind the Gap" series of conversations, we have endeavoured to get to the heart of the matter when it comes to gender inequality. Taking a systemic view of this pervasive issue we discuss just what makes inequality and gender bias so sticky, and what small successive steps are needed to create lasting change.

We kicked off our Mind the gap series with an exploration of how far women have come in our fight for equality, and the systemic forces still at play in holding us back from achieving true transformation. In Part Two we discussed the role of ethnicity in perpetuating gender inequality. Part Three, we focused on how carrying an unfair share of the mental load is holding us back and just what we can do about it. Part Four, examined the role that women play in driving transformation, Part Five we pivoted our focus to look at how men can be an ally to us in driving this change, and now for our final part in this series, we take a practical view of just what needs to happen now in order for us to move forward.

A 2020 Harvard Business Review article titled “That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Grief” released near the beginning of the pandemic was one of the first to name the collections of emotions we were experiencing on a collective level. Now more than a year on we find ourselves in a seemingly never-ending loop through the stages of grief as we grapple to find our footing in an uncertain world.

Many of us hold the simple association between Grief and death, and although we certainly have experienced our fair share of this during the Pandemic, it is not the only loss we have suffered.

In this series I speak with Marisa Wollheim, a seasoned Grief counselor, to better understand this feeling of Grief, the stages we are cycling through, and the emotions associated with each. Most importantly this series is about providing the insight, knowledge, and tools needed to navigate through this cycle.
