What if ... training isn't the answer?
Summary: Hank Wethington announces an upcoming event featuring Tina Schust Robinson, a leadership strategist and executive coach. The session will explore the idea that training isn't always the solution to organizational issues, emphasizing leadership development as a business strategy. Scheduled for April 14th, this engaging and practical discussion is part of the Learning Leaders Collective's monthly sessions, encouraging real-time interaction and networking among L&D professionals.
It's a question most of us in the people space don't ask out loud. When something's broken, we get the call. And the instinct is almost always the same: build something.
A program. A course. A curriculum.
But sometimes the problem isn't a skill gap. And when we lead with training anyway, we're not just solving the wrong problem. We're building the wrong thing.
On April 14th at 11am PT / 2pm ET, Ashely Aguirre and I are sitting down with Tina Schust Robinson, Founder and CEO of WorkJoy, to dig into exactly this. Tina is a leadership strategist, executive coach, and author of "Developing Your Business Leaders: A Guide to Investing at All Levels." She works with organizations to treat leadership development as a real business strategy, not just a program calendar.
We're not a podcast, we're a conversation. Our goal is to be practical, honest, and useful, whether you're in L&D, HR, or anywhere else on the people side of the house.
