If there’s one thing in life I’ve grown to love, it’s learning. That hasn’t always been the case. But ever since I fell back in love with books in 2003, I’ve been on a learning journey that has no end in sight (and that’s A-OK with me). McKenna-Episode-469.png?ssl=1"> I see myself today as a lifelong learner. That you’re here probably means you see yourself in much the same way. One thing I’ve enjoyed learning more about lately is learning itself. In other words, learning how to learn. That’s why I am especially excited today for you to hear from author James McKenna. His new book offers an accessible guide to understanding and applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to the workplace. Using exemplars from across sectors and industries, James highlights how learning and development professionals can redefine the goals of learning in the corporate environment – not only for the benefit of the organization but also, and perhaps more importantly, for the individual. His book, Upskill, Reskill, Thrive illustrates how to create and sustain learning and work environments that honor and empower individuals in ways that promote knowledge generation and sharing. It’s a book that will help L&D educators and corporate leaders motivate their teams from the inside to improve performance and become part of an inclusive culture across an organization.
