Grab your tissues... because this is the final time you'll hear from Ash & Han in 2024! 😢 But indulge us in an episode of reflections on the crazy year that was 2024. From their personal highlights (did they mention 2 weddings & a baby?!), they also share their highlights from L&D in 2024, and look ahead to a very exciting 2025.  See you on the other side, our dear Marketing For Learning friends 🍍

What are the big L&D trends of 2025? Well we don't know... but Han asked Chat GPT, and unsurprisingly she didn't like it's answer. So in this episode Han discusses the 'trends' we see year after year, and what she thinks should be the trend of 2025.

Does everybody just know the value of L&D? That's what most learning professionals seem to think. And shock... Han disagrees.  It's time L&D stopped assuming everybody knows our value... now is the time to prove it. In this episode, Han is going to cover: The danger of assumptions. Why data is your best friend. Why it's time to own our craft and align with the business goals. If you’re ready to step up, take ownership, and do something different. This is the ep for you.   Happy listening friendos 🍍   LINKS: Data in L&D: An interview with NilesNolen Data, Analytics and Testing in marketing for learning® Data-led marketing at Novo Nordisk with Peter Manniche Riber

When we mutter the phrase "internal comms" to many of our clients, we see them shudder. "Do we have to get them involved? They're always a blocker to our plans!" We've heard it all before... So in this ep, Ash and Han address why internal comms *must* be involved in your marketing for learning initiatives, and how to make the whole thing smoother.  Happy listening guys!    LINKS: Internal comms, friend or foe?
