Want to know what I think is in store for L&D careers come 2023? Well I got out my crystal ball from Halloween and made 5 BIG predictions in today's episode of The Overnight Trainer Podcast!
Some of my predictions include:
🔮 L&D transitioning away from traditional ID into content curation and rapid authoring
🔮 L&D needing to OUTPACE the business when it comes to development of learning
🔮 Personal branding will be the new L&D networking go-to as we expand beyond (not move away from though) 1:1 and group networking.
🔮 L&D hiring managers will continue to hire for authenticity PLUS value alignment FIRST, with skillset right behind that
🔮 There will be a BIG push for onboarding and reskilling once the layoff dust settles
...and a few more that may just blow 💥 your 💥 mind!
We also kicked off the 2023 L&D Career Transition RESET Challenge today, and it's not too late to join us: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/638a377276e92737f1b75507

Did you know that I had NO technical L&D experience when I landed my first role over a decade ago?
I didn't even know what "Instructional Design" was - nor had I ever even heard of it! !
In today's episode, I break down my L&D career transition, and walk through how I went from a college dropout working three jobs to a Director of L&D in just a handful of years.
If you get anything out of today's episode, I want it to be this: Everyone's journey is different, because we are all different.

Getting frustrated seeing the same job title over and over again, yet each one has a totally different job description and requirements? 😩
That's because, for the most part, L&D job titles mean absolutely nothing.

➡️ Why L&D job descriptions differ from company to company
➡️ Why the same L&D job titles don't all carry the same weight
➡️ Real life examples of clients who thought they wanted one role, and landed a completely different one
