Description

This is a show about building cultures of continuous learning for companies.In today's episode, we're going to do something a little different, something I haven't done in a while on this podcast.I'm going to tell you a story. I'm going to read from an essay that I wrote, and I'm going to tell you how I came up with the Learning Culture Lotus.On August 12, 2019, I received a text message that turned my stomach.“Andrew, I’m leaving.”I founded my business, Curious Lion, to help companies develop and retain their best talent, but I couldn’t even keep my own people on board.Without us all working on our projects, we’d lose clients. I was in my own version of a Great Resignation crisis, which propelled me to flip everything I thought I knew about corporate learning on its head.Our model for helping great companies learn was causing our own company to fail. Yet I still tolerated the old model.That was about to change.In this podcast, I’ll share how turnover at my own company led me to rethink corporate learning and help top companies like Pinterest, Bolt, and Brex completely transform how they develop their talent.I hope this episode will gift you with new meaning and perspective. Thank you for listening. Stay curious.
