About the L&D Means Business Clinic
Join this experimental Clinic — a new format for L&D professionals to learn how to shift from an order-taker to trusted business partner.
The session works like this:
1. We set a topic like influencing, strategising or measuring impact
2. You bring some examples of your work or think about it live in the session
3. We conduct tiny experiments like:
💬 Practise re-telling your business story
💬 Live edit and re-do your L&D strategy
💬 Live re-position your course catalogue so it links to business goals
Please only sign up if you want to experiment with us!

✅ Confidence to ask consultant-style questions without feeling like an imposter
✅ Techniques to tell your business story and impact without showing ROI!
