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.
“What Is A Learning Philosophy?” (1 min)
Many orgs have Marketing / Product / Design / Service philosophies to guide how decisions get made across teams, regions + roles and how we show up for customers. Why not articulate what our companies believe about People Development (and share these ideas with the world)? 💁♀️
Scaling Organizational Culture (2 min)
Cultural ambition has to be explicitly expressed + given guardrails, especially when scaling. Otherwise the strongest or loudest voices will create it.🎙️ I've seen this firsthand (with varying degrees of success, candidly) at renowned brands like lululemon, Zalando, Adidas, Apple and On and talked through a couple of ways I've worked to impact it w/ Adam Lacey & The Assemble You team.
L&D Open Forum with Mentimeter (60 min)
From Menti, “Hosted by Lisa Wetter (with Brownie in frame, obviously), we were joined by Lori Niles-Hofmann, Dwayne Britton, and Saga Forsmark for a session shaped entirely by the audience.
Here’s what you wanted to talk about:
🧠 How to build a real learning culture
🤖 Making AI actually useful for learning
🫠 And what to do if your LMS disappeared tomorrow”
From Culture to Competitive Advantage: The Case for a Learning Philosophy.
“When L&D teams can show how their approach shapes business culture — by defining how learning becomes a strategic edge — then suddenly, you're not just running programs. You're shaping the future.”
