It’s been quite a while since the last Learning & Development Network event (not in the least because the dreaded COVID meant that many of the resources required to organise, develop, promote, etc these events had to be re-established), so it was wonderful to FINALLY get them going again. The intention is to make these…

By Liz Theophille, TedxSaclay – 1st February 2022 Following on the heels of yesterday’s article What is Servant Leadership, we thought this fantastic TEDX talk by Liz Theophille (first posted on 24th January 2020) on Servant Leadership and, more specifically, how to lead with empathy and care, would be a great ‘part two’ for those…

By Dan Stringer – 21st January 2022 At the end of each week, we want to lighten everyone’s mood with a Learning and Development ‘Friday Funny’. This one is an oldie but without doubt one of my all-time-favourites, beautifully illustrating how you just can’t apply the same system of capability measurement and…
We’re super-excited to officially announce that, after a considerable Covid-induced break, the Australian Learning & Development Network is back! Of course, it’ll take a while to get back to full-swing, but we’re looking to get some free local networking and keynote sessions organised soon. In the meantime, we’ve already resumed our daily L&D posts here…
