Second session of day 2 at #LT23UK focuses on The Learning Profession #T3S4

Thinking of @DonaldClark slides from yesterday, curious if we’ll see overlap today

@lavimariam and @karolinaroz take the stage to lead the discussion on The Learning Profession #T3S4

@lavimariam asks us instantly to reflect on why we’re here and what we want to get from the session.

#LT23UK

A personal story from @lavimariam about getting feedback that she’d never be the successor bc she lacked people skills. Then she got a new manager, who wanted to play to Lavinia’s strengths. And she was promoted.

She asked her direct report how she’s doing as a manager…

To be successful in role @lavimariam had to re-think what she knows. #T3S4 #LT23UK

@lavimariam shared her top tips! #T3S4 #LT23UK

Top tip 1. Ask questions about yourself

Top tip 2. Ask questions about your team

@lavimariam speaks about the switch to listening and what we learnt
#T3S4 #LT23UK

Top tip 3. Ask questions about the organization

#T3S4 #LT23UK

Top tip 4. Ask questions about the business

‘We go from order takers to consultants’ @lavimariam #T3S4 #LT23UK

Top tip 5. Ask questions about your L&D strategy

#T3S4 #LT23UK

Top tip 6. Explore what’s next

#T3S4 #LT23UK

Lovely summary of takeaways from @lavimariam and this lingering thought: ‘not everyone has to be a manager’ #T3S4 #LT23UK

@lavimariam reminds us of the feedback that made her cry shared earlier in the presentation. After all her intentional approaches she then got this feedback, which also made her cry! #T3S4 #LTUK23

@karolinaroz steps up next and homes in on the first 100 days. #T3S4 #LT23UK

‘Everyday you get a chance to decide what type of L&D professional do I want to be’ @karolinaroz #T3S4 #LT23UK

Day 1 vs Day 100 😂

#T3S4 #LT23UK

@karolinaroz wants to exude confidence after a tough time. ‘Most of all not giving in’

#T3S4 #LT23UK

‘A lot happens in between’ those 100 days. That will result in negative Keanu Reaves or confident Keanu Reaves!

To get to the confident version @karolinaroz focuses on ‘keep going’

#T3S4 #LT23UK

‘We tell ourselves assumptions based on past experiences’ great example from @karolinaroz of being too keen ‘an overarching energy’ an over confidence without understanding #T3S4 #LT23UK

‘Business acumen is indispensable’ @karolinaroz backs up @lavimariam’s top tip on Ask Questions about the Business.

#T3S4 #LT23UK

Creating a framework is creating a strategy then putting it into action from @karolinaroz

‘Be the facilitator of knowledge exchange’

#T3S4 #LT23UK

‘We can’t only explore and not deliver’ @karolinaroz. The phrase ‘low hanging fruit’ creates an emotion in our speaker today. She wants early impact but focused on long term solutions.

6 things you need to remember to be the John Wick of L&D @karolinaroz
