The Trusted Learning Advisor: The Tools, Techniques and Skills You Need to Make L&D a Business Priority
How can I make learning part of the overall company strategy? How do I convince key stakeholders of the value of L&D? How can I develop a proactive approach to L&D rather than reactive? How can I help my stakeholder see me as a Trusted Learning Advisor instead of an order taker?
Progress requires change. It has never been clearer that those in the field of learning and development are the changemakers for organizations. L&D is an integral piece of the puzzle for achieving growth and creating value. But for decades, L&D has sat by while others called the shots, made the decisions, and dictated how, when, why, and what type of training or learning interventions would be used in organizations. But every great innovation in life begins when someone has the courage to ask, - "but why?"
This essential guide also includes support on critical thinking, communication, and influencing skills as well as advice on how to master a growth mindset. Full of examples, actionable steps, and global case studies from Fortune 500 companies, this is crucial reading for all L&D practitioners looking to develop their role as strategic consultative business partners that add true value to the organization, and ultimately achieve their highest purpose in L&D: changing lives through learning.
