The L&D Challenges Podcast

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: 
  1. Telling a story with data
  2. Measuring ROI using data and desire to change 
  3. AI to support and not replace humans
  4. 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.
