A neat climb from one role to the next makes less sense when the work itself keeps moving.\nIn this episode, I sit down with Kevin Bishop, Director of Talent Development at LinkedIn, whose own career has taken an unconventional route from theatre into learning and talent. Kevin makes the case for thinking less about job titles and more about the skills you can bring to whatever the business needs next.\nThat shift also asks more of L&D. Learning only matters when it helps people change how they work, and a workshop alone rarely gets us there. As AI changes what people need to be good at, Kevin sees human judgement becoming even more valuable.\nThe big question is what successful talent development looks like when neither careers nor skills stand still.\nSome curious takeaways:\nThink of your career as a portfolio of skills rather than a predictable ladder\nTreat learning as a lever for behaviour change, not the default answer to every performance problem\nBuild human judgement as AI takes on more of the work\n\nEpisode highlights:\n(00:00) Welcome to Harald’s Curious Corner\n(02:04) An unconventional path into talent development\n(04:43) What acting can teach us about L&D\n(10:40) Moving from learning activity to behaviour change\n(12:53) Finding impact where L&D might overlook it\n(18:58) Building talent teams that can adapt\n(23:44) Why skills could reshape career mobility\n(32:13) Using skills data to guide learning strategy\n(38:42) Why durable skills matter more with AI\n(45:37) What talent velocity means for organisations\n(48:47) Turning talent initiatives into business initiatives\n(50:04) What will define successful talent teams\n\nConnect with the guest:\nKevin Bishop on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinrbishop/\nExplore LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/ \n\nFollow me on the following sites:\nHarald Overaa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haraldovera/ \nSubscribe to Harald’s Newsletter:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FG-8Qa20DpR75migQzJyOrVTLX_iP1P41938xDc_r1c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xODkz/ZDhjYjM5YTA1NDk0/MjM0ZDVkNzIzNzU2/YmUyNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
