Everyone has an opinion on how L&D should work. From “learning styles” to quick-fix training requests, expectations are high—but resources are limited. The real challenge? Changing outdated mindsets about what L&D can and should do, especially as AI reshapes how we work and learn.

Join JD Dillon (Founder, LearnGeek and CLO, Axonify) to find out how you can influence stakeholders to think differently about L&D. We’ll break down the modern learning mindset, identify key influencers and share practical strategies for overcoming obstacles. You’ll leave with a playbook for driving change and aligning L&D with business priorities.

You’ll learn how to:

• Apply modern learning principles to shape your L&D strategy
• Align L&D practices with today’s employee experience
• Influence stakeholders to embrace new learning practices
