How the Emerging Stronger initiative harnessed lessons from global disruption
Recognising the need to support and connect the L&D community, the Emerging Stronger initiative sought to adapt to rapid changes brought on by the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This global initiative, driven by the collective wisdom of industry experts Michelle Ockers, Shannon Tipton, and Laura Overton, focused on uniting L&D professionals worldwide behind one purpose – transformation. By providing the insights, tools and resources needed for L&D to transform learning practices and adapt to new challenges, they empowered people to take the bold action needed to positively impact their businesses.

The result was a collection of powerful advocacy video stories offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the movement and how learning professionals grew their practice as a result.

-
These videos were then added to their website. Take a look at the final stories.
By capturing knowledge and lessons learned from the three year initiative in this way, they were able to inspire and upskill the rest of the global learning community.
