Honest conversations with influential voices in L&D about making learning collaborative, strategic, and part of everyday work.

What is L&D Leaders?

L&D Leaders is a space for forward-thinking mid-to-senior learning professionals who want to make learning more collaborative, impactful, and connected to everyday work.

Through our community and podcast, leaders learn from each other, experiment together, and search for better ways to lead learning as a strategic part of their organizations.

As technology and AI reshape how people learn and work, we focus on combining the best of both worlds — using new possibilities while keeping learning human with dialogue, reflection, and shared sense-making.

Powered by Howspace, L&D Leaders connects peers across Europe in real conversations and shared practice.

What our community members are saying

"It’s great to meet like-minded people who share the same passion. Everyone brings different perspectives that broaden my thinking and help me spot patterns in my own organization. Learning from peers and exchanging real experiences is what I value most about this community."

Sami M Leppänen
Head of L&D PMO, People and Communications at KONE

"I highly believe in the strength of a network. I get very inspired by the diversity of thought and it’s a great platform to share thoughts and ideas with others. Coming together on a specific interesting topic, learning about other businesses or ways of working. Being part of something exciting!"

Melanie Calle
Sr. Manager, Talent Development at Kontoor Brands

"This is the first community I genuinely make time for. Every meeting is professionally facilitated and full of inspiration and practical value. The session on creating a feedback culture was a highlight—especially since we were researching our own feedback processes at the time. I walked away with concrete ideas I could apply right away."

Marianne Helenius
Head of Group Learning & Development at Cimcorp Group
