L&D Happy Hour with Shannon Tipton and Deborah Harris: Productivity, Control, and the Future of Work
Break out your shakers and bar spoons, double check that subscribe button, and join Shannon Tipton and Deborah Harris for another round of Learning Rebels Happy Hour! This episode explores productivity, the illusion of job security, and why CEOs are losing sleep at night.
This time, we’re talking all about:
- Why do some organizations still struggle with relinquishing control in learning & development?
- What’s fueling the tension between companies and employees over skill-building and career growth?
- How is artificial intelligence reshaping the way businesses approach workforce planning?
- Why do CEOs believe 40% of their company’s work is wasted productivity—and what role does L&D play in fixing it?
Shannon and Deborah explore how organizations need to rethink their approach to hiring, reskilling, and employee trust. They also challenge outdated mindsets that continue to stifle professional development and discuss how L&D can step up to drive meaningful change.
So grab your drink, tune in, and get ready to:
- Unpack the battle between control and trust in corporate learning.
- Discover why companies need to focus on skills rather than just job titles.
- Understand how AI is changing the landscape of workforce development.
- Learn why job security is often just an illusion—and what to do about it.
Because it wouldn’t be Happy Hour without the Happy, here are our Frosty Adult Beverage (FAB) picks:
Deborah: Smoked Maple Old Fashioned – A bold twist on a classic, featuring bourbon, maple syrup, and a hint of smoked orange peel.
Shannon: Hibiscus Paloma – A refreshing mix of tequila, grapefruit, and hibiscus syrup with just the right amount of tartness and sweetness.
