This week we bring you another live episode, recorded with the most marvellous L&D Shakers in London. We were blessed to be welcomed back to where we started, The Dorchester Collection Academy, where we gathered to discuss friction in work and learning for this last episode of the series.
We shared our three key questions with our audience, discussing the shared friction we face. So many themes we have seen over this whole podcast research bubbled up in this opportunity to share ideas and experiences from across the L&D Shakers community.
Be sure to join Michelle for one last time, as she addresses the Learning From The Edges live podcast audience, sharing her findings and further questions sparked by this research project.
Special thanks to Lucie Coudret and all the London L&D Shakers, and of course Beth Aarons and Scott Robson at The Dorchester Collection Academy for providing such an excellent venue for our return visit for another live podcast recording and series finale.

This week we dive into the world of neurodiversity with our guest Mike Bedford. Did you know that 1 in 5 people have some form of neurodiversity?
When we think about neurodiversity in the workplace, are we doing enough to ensure people are included? Mike suggests there is no one size fits all and focusing on building strong relationships that build trust is important. Ask the tough questions to include individual needs. We need to empower people to have the conversations that will help us all to get the best performance possible.
Thanks to Mike for sharing his experiences and thought-provoking insight and practical ideas to encourage inclusion without exception.

Be bold! In this week's conversation with guest Toby Harris from Filtered, we are encouraged to consider the big picture and take a leap, be that in experimenting with AI or considering people and culture. Skills are only possibilities, suggests Toby. Intriguing.
As someone who has been working with artificial intelligence since before it was the buzzword of today, Toby brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, not just about the potential of AI in our industry, but also helps to identify what we need to get right before we attempt to replace our current systems to enhance productivity.
Toby encourages us to prioritise people, processes and systems, inspired by Bruce Schneier https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/01/people_process.html
Toby also mentioned John Seddon's Failure Demand and Value Demand, from Seddon's 1992 book I Want You To Cheat. amazon.co.uk/Want-You-Cheat-Unreasonable-Organisations/dp/095197310XThanks to Toby for his insight this week.

When looking for solutions to friction, are we just overlooking the obvious? If we design work around the humans, if we communicate better and if we show more empathy, surely we can remove some of the unwanted friction we face? Humans are vital for the running and development of our workplaces, and creating friction free workplaces from a place of love, even in disagreement is our guest's focus.
We are joined by the incredible Kim Tuohy, who runs Belvista Studios. Kim shares her thoughts and experiences when implementing human-centred design both for big businesses and with her own team. This episode is one of love and kindness, which offers a new lens for the Learning From The Edges research.
Be sure to listen out for Kim's PAUSE framework that helps us to be more aware and less emotional in our reactions:Pause for an opportunity
Assess what's happening
Understand the true reality
See a better way
Experiment for a better outcome
Then pause again.
To further the conversation find Kim on the following:

And finally, we are now coming to the end of our year-long research, or are we? Do you have a story about friction at work which needs to be shared? Do you have a new lens we have not looked through? Get in touch and let's talk!____________________________________________________________________________________________________

When designing your workplace, are you thinking about the friction?
Maybe you are tempted to remove as much of it as possible?
Or could it be that you actually look to keep points of conflict to help you strive for success?
Intentional design is a difficult question to answer, which is why I was so pleased to have the co-authors of Employee Experience By Design join me to discuss how we think about friction when we design work.
Friction can be described as a force for good, helping you to embrace the challenges work throws at you, allowing you, your colleagues and the wider business to improve; yet the other side of the coin will tell you that friction is that resistance, stopping you from making meaningful change because of the difficulties we face.

This week we take you back to the classroom as we discuss and explore the frictions within the UK education sector.
In this wide-ranging conversation with a teacher, Jamie Slater, and a home-schooling parent, Amy Brann, we explore the real races in education.
Jamie is a fantastic educator (but I am biased, as Jamie is also my husband), who shares his insights from working in education with strict government guidance. He also uses his love of his area of expertise to teach classes more effectively, preparing young people with life skills for work.
Amy has explored the world of home schooling and shares the way her approach to feeding curiosity has helped to grow a love of learning in her daughter that we can all aspire to.
Our guests help us to consider many questions which link education and workplaces. Why do we seek to teach how to absorb and recall knowledge, especially now with the advances of AI?
Should we nurture an explorative curiosity where students are encouraged to follow lines of interest in what they are learning about?
Stifled by the system, is it workplace expectations which are holding the education sector back?
For all these and more, listen in and then take the conversation further by following our guests via the links below.

Welcome back to the first Learning From the Edges podcast episode of 2024!
We hope you've had a good start to the year and wonder if you have made learning your priority?
We can all learn something new, from the experienced expert to the new, fresh perspective thinker. Let's start with considering a couple of questions that come from within this episode.
How do we build relationships at work?
What judgements and assumptions do we make about what people want to give and take away from work?
This week you are in for a treat as host Michelle is joined by Deeksha Hegde, one of the inspiring Learning Technologies 30 under 30 cohort from 2023. Together they dive in, to explore the friction that surround us at work. Deeksha shares her insights into organisational culture and how we treat each other whilst completing tasks, giving and receiving feedback.

Welcome to this episode that is charged ready to challenge traditional notions of leadership and learning. Join Michelle and Julian Stodd, as they delve into the importance of cultivating trust, compassion, and understanding within leadership, exploring how these qualities can transform the development of individuals within a business.
In a world that is constantly evolving, where uncertainty is the only constant, we discuss why it's crucial for our leaders, and Learning and Development experts to embrace the chaos of learning.
Dive into the insights Julian and Michelle explore from how to champion new ways of thinking to fostering an environment that encourages innovation and growth.Consider how we can challenge the notion that learning should follow a singular, uniform approach. Instead, we advocate for recognising the individuality of the learning journey and understanding the unique needs of each team member.

Welcome to this second bonus episode of the Learning From The Edges podcast, where we're switching the format to hear from regular host Michelle as she is interviewed for an article in the Belgian Learning and Development Training Newspaper.
In this interview by Robbert Flyppo, we continue from bonus episode 1 to explore our perspectives on learning culture, uncovering practical strategies, and highlight learning culture's pivotal role in organisational growth and employee development.
Whilst not originally recorded for a podcast, we felt the insights and ideas complement both Michelle's live Keynote at Stimulearning's L&D Talks, and Robbert's magazine article. As multi-modal learning options are part of a socialised learning culture, we are living our truth by sharing this second episode as a deviation from the usual pod.
Below are links to the full article, the interviewer and other resources that were mentioned in the creation of this episode.
This interview was recorded to produce an article for the Belgian magazine Leren & Ontwikkelen Opleidingskrant Volume 17 Edition 61 (Learning and Development Training Newspaper). The article can be found on pages 31-33 at this link www.bedrijfsopleidingen.be/documenten/opleidingskrant/opleidingskrant_nl61.pdfThe interviewer is Robbert Flypo www.linkedin.com/in/robbert-flypo-042907141
Robbert is a senior L&D Specialist at Paulig, an international company in the food industry. A teacher who, after his studies, didn’t find the way back to school and instead started his journey in the wondrous world of L&D. His mission: to spice up ‘a life full of flavour’ with lifelong learning using practical know-how and empowering local teams. His current focus is improving the on-the-job training across all Paulig production sites.

Join us in a thought-provoking conversation as we unravel the potential and pitfalls of personality profiling tools in Learning and Development. While these tools offer valuable insights, we'll explore why relying on them alone can be limiting. Is it a case of 'don't box me in' or do they set people free to be themselves?
This week we challenge our thinking towards a holistic approach that combines profiling tools with a deeper understanding of individuals, ensuring development practitioners make informed decisions that go beyond mere judgments and truly enhance personal and professional development.
