80: An Empathic, Effective Learning Journey - Erin Mariano

Learning Designer Erin Mariano discusses a learning journey she developed for a South African logistics company, Unitrans.  In a move that she describes as a ‘game changer’ Erin donned her safety boots and fluro vest and hit the road with some drivers.  Her exposure to their work context and role, and empathy for them allowed her to design a powerful learning solution that uses simple methodologies in a creative way.  This includes storytelling and scenarios with a realistic, beautifully named character, a board game and simple physical and information resources. While the solution is now being digitalised due to COVID, the key elements remain the same.

We want our audience to hear real people having real conversations and sharing real examples and advice. PROGRESSIVE We want to showcase the “unsung L&D heroes” out there doing great work, being brave and trying new things. PRACTICAL We invite our guests to share tips and strategies to help listeners take their solutions to the next level.
