Episode 46: Learning is not a stand-alone event with Kerry Brocks
Happy Christmas eve to all of you, and I hope you are taking the time to relax with family and friend’s and also recharging for a big 2019.
Today’s guest is Kerry Brocks, and she is the CEO and Founder of the Institute for Learning Professionals. We met up over a coffee in Brisbane around May this year, and I remember our infectious conversation. We could not stop talking about the struggles that facilitators have, and how it’s so important to support the community of learning professionals, so that we stamp out boring and stifling workshops forever.
I walked back to the office after meeting with Kerry feeling super excited to know that we’re on the same war-path. I invited her on the show to share with you her experiences as a facilitator, and the great work she’s doing for facilitators through the Institute for Learning Professionals.
