162 — How did I end up here? Getting started in L&D
Episode description
We've often talked on this show about how few people actively seek out a career in learning and development. So, how exactly did we end up here?
This week on the podcast, Ross D, Ross G and James are joined by Richard Dawson of Virgin Trains and Jilly Julian of Horwich Farrelly to share their origin stories.
We discuss:
- our professional backgrounds
- the challenges of getting started in L&D
- the qualities that make someone suited to a role in L&D
