THE PRACTICE
learning, brand & culture.
Learning shapes how we grow. Brand shapes how we show up. Culture and collaboration shape how we work together. These are the threads that run through everything we do, and everything we write about here.
hr world summit: a recap
🇵🇹 Just wrapped HR World Summit.
The mood was… honest. 🥴😅 There’s mild trauma-bonding even among seasoned People leaders: anxiety around AI, as everyone works out how to match the speed of the technology, + the push from higher up, with the slower realities of how orgs adopt it.
Trust is a legit barrier and this challenge goes beyond our respective company walls: when politics + permission structures “reward” big-name companies for making sudden, drastic cuts, it ripples through our collective consciousness, and our People teams are left to rewrite these narratives from the inside.
My thoughts + favorite takeaways for impact right now:
Community Exploration: The Human Side Of A.I. In L&D (w/ Sana)
It was refreshing — and, candidly, moving — to have real conversations about everything from excitement to the nerves people might feel around AI. Using Sana’s state-of-the-art product, we surfaced the feelings, insights + real conversations many of us are having with our teams about integrating AI into learning & collaboration.
L&D Open Forum with Mentimeter (60 min)

🧠 How to build a real learning culture
🤖 Making AI actually useful for learning
🫠 And what to do if your LMS disappeared tomorrow”
