Wednesday 23 April 2025
Conference Theatre 5
Professional development , Skills, talent and learning , Future L&D
Work can feel like a whirlwind. You’re constantly moving from one task to the next, and in L&D, there’s rarely time to pause, reflect, and plan your next steps. This session offers a rare opportunity to step back, take stock, and build a path forward using the Connect-Reflect-Build approach. Designed to help you bring greater intention to your work and career, this approach provides practical tools you can apply immediately – and carry with you into the evolving world of L&D.

Connect, reflect, build: shaping the future of your L&D career
Fiona McBride

The way we learn at work has fundamentally changed, and so has the role of L&D. Once, producing courses was enough. Now, we must move beyond content creation to become enablers of productivity and performance. Yet challenges abound – from misconceptions about L&D to our own views of what’s possible in our roles.

In this session, Fiona McBride will guide you through a meaningful way of thinking about and reflecting on your role in L&D. Using her Connect-Reflect-Build approach, you’ll explore the context of your work, take a moment to consider where you are today, and map out where you need to go next.

  • Connect – Build connections with the people, knowledge, and technology that can empower your work.
  • Reflect – Take time, individually and collectively, to consider where you stand today and where you need to go.
  • Build – Strengthen your understanding of what’s possible, develop new thinking for the future, and grow a network to support you on your journey.

Whether you’re just starting out in L&D or looking to recalibrate your career, this session provides a practical, reflective, and focused approach for growth.
