The Learning Culture Podcast

Today's episode is a special one - I'm going to share with you a review of a book that I've spent the better part of the last two years with, The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge. This process, of applying The Fifth Discipline, rocked my world and turned my whole perspective on learning and work upside down. It reveals the path for us to navigate from a mindset of “crumbling and decaying” to truly seeing the “power that derives from the people.” I’ve prepared a deep summary of its chapters and ideas, as a concise entry point to the rich wisdom it shares so that you can begin your own journey of applying these insights and experiencing their rewards.Please sit back and enjoy my summary of The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge.Continue the conversation with me on Twitter and LinkedIn.~ This episode is brought to you by The Learning Culture Experience ~

Shaunak is the Founder and CEO of a learning platform called Yellowdig which engages hundreds and thousands of students around the world using an approach that they call Gameful Learning. It's kind of like a cross between social learning or collaborative learning and gamified learning.It's nothing like the sort of icky associations that come with the word gamified, there's actually a lot of intentionality built into the point-scoring and game elements of the system. I’m sure you'll find a lot of really good advice and practical tips from this episode. Please sit back and enjoy my conversation with Shaunak Roy.Continue the conversation with me on Twitter and LinkedIn.~ This episode is brought to you by The Learning Culture Experience ~

In this episode, I talk about a vision I had that we are starting to manifest at Curious Lion. This is the vision for a brand new role in learning, a vision to build a new team for the future. Join me to unravel what learning should and could look like if we embrace a Learning Culture and the ability to create a learning organization as a central function of a company. This is a learning organization that shouldn't sit under HR, but rather with its own leader at the table next to the CEO and the rest of the c-suite. That leader? The Learning Culture Officer.
