Unscripted—The L&D Shakers Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, we're talking with Traian Bruma, the Co-Founder of The Alternative University. This fascinating learning space is where self-directedness takes the spotlight, and students craft their own learning journey without a pre-set curriculum.

We also unpack Learning as a Spinning Top, a learning model Traian put together after years of observing how learning by doing takes place in the world and what the most crucial ingredients are needed to propel learners toward their development goals.

We took so much inspiration from this conversation with Hajira Shaheen, the Learning and Development Manager at Hireup. 

We talked about Project Oxygen Mask, a 6-nudge wellbeing campaign she designed for her colleagues, and delivered it fully on Slack. 

Shaheen took us back to the initial idea and what prompted it, she explained the ingredients she paid extra attention to in the design process. She emphasized the importance of sitting with the problem and listening to your audience, for a successful outcome.

Calen also highlighted the crucial role that seamless collaboration with subject matter experts and other stakeholders plays in the success of such projects.

This conversation shows that you don't need a big budget, lots of time, and fancy tools to play around with an idea. We talked with Marie Krebs, a brilliant People Experience Designer. At the time of the interview, Marie was the People Experience Design Lead at Learnerbly and is now the new Head of People Experience Design at Build a Rocket Boy.

Marie describes an experiment she launched several years back when the Learnerbly team was about 20. Combining the power of ritual and gamification, this experiment hit the mark for team building and practical ways to foster habits linked to company values. We discussed what made it work and why it would probably fall flat in a post-pandemic world or a big organization. Enjoy!
