Erika Ullmann (Virgin Media Ireland): The Increasing Need for Intentional Learning

Summary:

My latest guest on the Learn to Grow Podcast is Erika Ullmann, Learning and Development Director at Virgin Media Ireland.

Erika is one of the most conscientious L&D leaders I have met, and she is doing incredible work not just providing learning opportunities, but opening peoples eyes to their identities as learners.

In our conversation, we discuss:

• How to align learning with a strategic vision
• The importance of a holistic approach to learning that considers the human at the core
• Why great learners are happy learners
• Why self awareness is the basis of effective learning
• The role of deliberate practice in learning and growth
• The importance of organic (inspirational!) conversations between learners with shared passions
• The evolution of L&D and the need for empathetic leadership

You can find Erika on LinkedIn!
