Today, please give a warm welcome to Kelly Palmer, edtech leader Degreed’s official Workplace Futurist, L&D trend thought leader. Kelly, the former Chief Learning Officer at LinkedIn and who is also, of course, co-author of 2018’s widely read Workplace Learning think-piece The Expertise Economy: How the smartest companies use learning to engage, compete, and succeed, is a great interview, taking us on a tour of the Learning horizon that includes:
- her personal road from studying Literature to Educational Technology to Product Development roles at Sun Microsystems
- how come she ended up living two blocks from Grace Cathedral
- why you can’t prove your aerobic fitness with your decade old Marathon PB – so it’s probably time to jailbreak the degree
- Silicon Valley’s new career realism: they won’t stay for ever – but let’s really try to be so great they’ll one day come back
- HOW many jobs will go? Really?
- Talent analytics, the future of the Learning & Development team, why CEOs are getting real interested in what you do – and much more
