71. Designing Learning with Beth Cougler Blom

Strategy Made Simple

In this episode of the Strategy Made Simple podcast Beth Cougler Blom explains how we can make better learning experiences by taking a learning design approach. She explains how her experience in learning design roles contribute to making better trainings and facilitating well with groups. We discuss how meeting ground rules and setting out the objectives for the learning experience. She also explains her experience in starting up her business and how her path led from helping with post-secondary learning experiences to helping social impact organizations.

I think the experiences and methodologies that she shares can contribute to leaders working with teams or those that are looking to help others see new perspectives.

Beth also interviewed me on her podcast Facilitating on Purpose where I was able to talk about how we can present value. We specifically talked about how we can emphasize the value that the people we're communicating with specifically care about by changing how we talk about what we're do and sell. You can listen to that podcast here.
