Join me on a learning journey that will transform you as a leader and as a human being.Â
Discover how you can transform your organization from a traditional hierarchical culture of doing into a vibrant, people-centered organization of continuous learning.Â
At my core I believe:Â When we stay in learning, anything is possible.
Your learning journey starts by selecting an episode above and hitting play. Â
Chain of LearningÂŽ is the trusted source for purpose-driven leaders and continuous improvement, lean, and agile practitioners seeking innovative ideas, proven best practices, and actionable strategies.
Tune into each episode to gain the knowledge and skills you need to build a thriving people-centered learning culture, achieve needed business results, and expand your impact, so that you â and your team â can leave a lasting legacy.
Chain of LearningÂŽ is one of my core principles. We are all leaders and learners â connected together by the bond between us. There is no strength in isolated links. We learn and improve better â together â and itâs why I started this podcast.
A Chain of Learning is a metaphor for what a successful people-centered learning organization is all about â the connection and support between people to learn through success and failure alike, grow, and achieve more than they could have on their own.
Join my Chain of LearningÂŽ and be the first to know about new blog posts, podcasts and learning opportunities.
