Welcome to a special edition of the Emotion at Work podcast. This episode is part of a double feature, and we've teamed up with our friends from Mind Tools FB (that's Mind Tools For Business) for a truly exciting collaboration. It all took place at the Festival of Work in London back in 2023, where we hosted a thought-provoking fringe event.

During our time at the Festival of Work, we discovered some fascinating insights and hot takes, and we can't wait to delve into them with you. In our previous Mind Tools episode, we tackled one of these hot takes, and today, we're diving headfirst into the topic of communities.

The hot take on our plate today is this: "L&D can never build communities as they're not targeted or rewarded for it." It's a bold statement, and we're eager to explore it from all angles.

We're joined by our guests, each bringing their unique perspectives to the table. We have Ross Garner and Nahdia Khan from Mind Tools, along with Lizzi Philokyprou from the Emotion at Work team.

So, grab your headphones and get ready for an engaging discussion as we unravel the intricacies of building communities in the world of Learning and Development. It's going to be an insightful journey, and we're delighted to have you along for the ride!
