About the podcast
Why we started, and what makes the show different
Learning and development has quietly become one of the most business-critical functions in modern organisations. But while everyone is talking about "the future of learning", very few are figuring out how to actually make collaborative learning work in practice.
The L&D Leaders Podcast was born from that gap. A space where senior learning leaders share what they are really trying inside their organisations: the experiments, the friction, the things that did not work. Real stories, told without polish.
I want listeners to walk away with one thing they can try in their next sprint, not another framework.

Hanna draws on her background in communications, systemic thinking and digital facilitation to help organisations reimagine how people work, lead, and learn.
With her warm yet thought-provoking style, she sparks conversations that reveal not just what works in learning, but why, and how others can put it into practice.
