Step into the role of an L&D Detective!

Not every training request tells the full story. The real challenge? Uncovering what your organization actually needs. Join Sukran Balaban and Moe Piorier for our upcoming webinar, “The L&D Detective – Solving the Mystery of Real Organizational Needs,” and learn how to move beyond order-taking to become a true strategic partner.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Ask the right questions to uncover root causes
• Use tools like empathy mapping and root cause analysis
• Collaborate with stakeholders to identify real business challenges
• Present solutions that drive meaningful organizational impact

This interactive, detective-style session will equip you with practical techniques to investigate, analyze, and solve problems that go far beyond surface-level training requests.

Leading across cultures isn’t just about awareness; It’s about navigating what’s unspoken.

In diverse workplaces, assumptions around authority, initiative, and decision-making quietly shape how teams collaborate and perform. When expectations aren’t made explicit, even strong leaders can encounter friction, confusion, or disengagement.

Join Teresa McGill, and Hugh Cartwright for an interactive session and explore how hidden assumptions influence everyday leadership interactions and how to close expectation gaps with clarity and confidence.

In this session, you’ll:
✔️ Use the Equality–Hierarchy (Power Distance) lens to interpret leadership expectations
✔️ Examine real workplace scenarios where assumptions drive misunderstanding
✔️ Learn practical strategies to make expectations explicit and reduce friction
✔️ Apply insights across roles, teams, and organizational contexts

If you lead, support, or develop leaders in today’s diverse environments, this conversation is essential.
