Episode description

We could all use a little reminder that it’s okay to expose our human side at work.

When employees look at learning and development professionals, they may think of us as superhuman in a way. Perhaps not on the level of Superman, but they may assume L&D professionals have all the answers and don’t make mistakes. This just isn’t true, though.

Learners are not really expecting perfection, neither are the companies themselves and yet L&D professionals can fall into the trap of over-analyzing everything they do. All that does is create a tremendous amount of pressure.

In this episode of The Learning Xchange, Matthew Brown, Schoox’s VP of Learning and Brand Success, discusses how to be your authentic self as an L&D professional and why it’s okay to not be perfect.

Listen to this episode to find out:

• The problem with expecting perfection
• Four simple ways to show your authentic self at work
• Why you should accept that no one has all the answers
