Episode 0 - Welcome to The Talent Forge

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Talent Forge, where we are shaping the future of training and development! I am your host, Jay Johnson. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about the show and its purpose and share a little bit of my background and experience with you.We have all been subjected to boring, monotonous lectures, silly, over-the-top activities that make people feel embarrassed rather than empowered, and the talks that left us saying, "Awesome, now what the hell do I do with that?" As talent development practitioners and leaders, we are responsible for providing opportunities for people to grow, upskill, and develop our teams. This podcast will provide a new perspective and approach to training, coaching, mentoring, and developing talent in a way that empowers the learner. Together, we will elevate the significance of our profession and demonstrate that with the right tools, we can create real, long-lasting change and stop people from saying, "Please, not another boring lecture." Meet the Host Jay Johnson works with people and organizations to empower teams, grow profits, and elevate leadership. He is a Co-Founder of Behavioral Elements®, a two-time TEDx speaker, and a designated Master Trainer by the Association for Talent Development. With a focus on behavioral intelligence, Jay has delivered transformational workshops to accelerate high-performance teams and cultures in more than 30 countries across four continents.
