The Future Is Learning with Heather McGowan

With the incredible speed at which technology is advancing and changing how we live, it’s crucial that we understand the impact that all of this is having –­ and is going to have ­– on how we work and learn.

And perhaps nobody is more well-versed in addressing this topic than internationally known speaker, writer, and thought leader, Heather McGowan. Heather is an innovator, synthesizer, and leading voice related to the context and impacts of accelerated change and she uses single frame visuals to help people process information more effectively.

In this episode of the Leading Learning podcast, Jeff talks with Heather about the intersection of the future of work and learning including why the type of change we are going through now is different from what we’ve experienced in the past, what we should expect to see related to this in the future, and how to better prepare for it.
