from L&D in 20 · host Julia Nieradka, Brian Genisio

Brian breaks down the case for active practice over passive broadcast-style training, how AI-powered simulations and Socratic tutoring are finally making scalable one-on-one coaching possible, where human coaching still beats AI, and why managers must build learning, doing, and teaching directly into the operating rhythm of their teams. Time Stamps:(01:27) The shift from broadcast learning to active practice(06:22) Why AI-powered simulations now make practice-based learning possible(08:52) What great management looks like in building employee capability(12:27) One design principle L&D leaders should adopt: designing for doing, not knowing(14:41) Rapid fire Links:Connect with Brian on LinkedIn Connect with Julia on LinkedInLearn more about Go1 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
