In this episode, I spoke with Nicholaos Papadopoulos ("Coach Nick"), Talent Management expert, about what it really takes to create learning experiences that truly add value.
We explored the importance of connecting the dots for leaders—moving beyond one-off events to create an intentional arc of learning with a clear beginning, middle, and meaningful touchpoints along the way. Coach Nick shared his belief in using multiple touchpoints to reinforce learning, and in making values and competencies an integral part of the experience so they become embedded in how people actually work.
We also challenged the idea of “soft skills” (a phrase neither of us loves!) and discussed how these human capabilities can serve as a north star for leadership development.
Finally, we talked about the mindset required to learn and grow. When we judge ourselves for where we’re starting, we can become less open to learning. Instead, Coach Nick encourages leaders to set an intention, commit to the experience, and stay open to what they can learn along the way.
