Interested in what it takes to transition into L&D leadership for the first time? In today's episode of The Overnight Trainer Podcast L&D Leader Heidi Kirby shares her experience transitioning from higher education, to corporate L&D and then most recently to an L&D leadership position. If anyone knows Heidi, you know this episode is FULL of goodies like:
๐ What prepared Heidi for her transition from an L&D individual contributor role to a leadership and people manager role
๐ Common misconceptions people have about going from an L&D individual contributor to a people leader
๐ What led Heidi to her decision to pursue her doctorate in Instructional Design and Technology (Dr. Kirby in the house ๐ก)
โ๏ธ What she looks for when she's adding people to her team, now that she is on the hiring manager side of things
๐ค How Heidi's volunteer work shaped her as a new L&D leader, and her advice to any brand new L&D leaders
We also geek out on Learning Cluster Design, which by now shouldn't be a surprise to anyone! ๐คฃ
