Peer Learning

The Training Design Podcast

In this episode, Sheridan chats with Liz Needham about Peer Learning.

Liz has been a coach, and a training facilitator and worked 1-2-1 with businesses, she brings all her skills together to help others to learn together.

Liz is passionate about helping businesses deal with the unknowns that can come, by creating a mechanism where people can continuously learn, where they can support each other and during that learning it will bring the best heads together, not leaving someone to look at it in isolation.

Appreciative of the fact you don’t need to know everything yourself, but that you do need to have a network around you that can give you what you need when you need it.

At the moment, leadership is a tough place to be and can also be quite lonely. Peer learning is a great way to form a sense of community and belonging.

Liz is also a great believer that peer learning doesn’t have to take a great deal of time, it can be part of your meetings, and there are no set objectives, making it very easy to incorporate into your teams day.

This is a really great conversation with two people who are very passionate about the subject of Peer Learning. Have a listen and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject.
