In this great episode, Adam chats with Neil Cunningham.
Neil began his career in acting before transitioning into sales. He then moved from sales to training, where he built an L&D program for new hires.
This led him to a career in Learning and Development, where he finds passion in measuring the impact that L&D has on an organisation. Founding Align Learn Do, Neil works to help others build world-class L&D solutions and is on the Board of Directors for The Learning Network.
Adam and Neil Discuss:
- Telling a story with data
- Measuring ROI using data and desire to change
- AI to support and not replace humans
- Challenges in measuring soft skills

What is The L&D Challenges Podcast?
Welcome to the L&D Challenges podcast series.
If you are in Learning and Development, HR, Talent, or Organisation Development, this is the podcast for you.
The L&D Challenges podcast is a candid look at L&D today. It focuses on real-life practitioners solving real issues in learning and staff development.
In Series 1, we interview ten L&D movers and shakers who shared with us how they think about engagement and impact with their learning interventions.
The guests in this first series range from senior L&D professionals at global corporates like Ricoh, Continental, and EDF to solo L&D practitioners in fast-growing organisations. Each tackles the problem of how we best train and retain talent and maximise the business impact of L&D.
We thought we’d get a few friendly tips and tricks from these interviews about increasing engagement in learning and measuring impact. In reality, we learned so much more and think you will too.
