What a great day out this was!  Last week I joined Paul Pellier from Accellier Education and 476 live attendees to chat about psychological safety and its importance in education and training.  It was soul-restoring to see so many people share such an interest in this topic, which I believe has a profound impact on learning.  A memorable conversation we had!

Michelle Ockers is a globally renowned, award-winning L&D leader who heads up the Learning Uncut podcast.

This podcast reaches thousands of learning and development professionals around the world and is acknowledged as one of the world’s leading podcasts for L&D professionals. I felt more than a bit honoured (and slightly daunted, but for all the right reasons) when she invited me to join her to look back on L&D in 2024.

If I had to choose a podcast episode that I had the most fun recording, this is it!  I joined Tom Bailey – an award-winning L&D practitioner – as his guest on the Rogue L&D Hotshots Podcast.  Rogue L&D is “…a short video podcast allowing you to meet some of the brilliant folk driving people performance and development forward.”  Well, I’m not so sure that I’m brilliant – especially after seeing how long it took me to tell a story about a famous musician – but I sure had fun, and his questions made me think about what is important in work and life.

To say that Claire Field is a standout voice in tertiary education is an understatement.  Every time I see her, she is speaking, writing or otherwise advocating for quality tertiary education.  She works across the VET and higher education sectors, and keeps the decision makers on their toes with her astute analyses and sage advice for our sector. 

In late 2024, I joined Claire and Maria Langwell to speak about the implications of the 2025 Standards for Registered Training Organisations.  At the time of recording, these Standards had not yet taken effect.

This was the second time I joined Michelle Ockers on her award-winning podcast, Learning Uncut. 
In this episode, we debriefed key insights gained at the 2024 AITD Conference in Melbourne.
