Episode Notes

Why is your L&D system is quietly pushing employees away?

In this episode, Julia sits down with Lori Niles-Hofmann, co-founder of 8Levers, to unpack why only 7% of employees turn to their formal learning systems first — and what that gap really means. Lori explores how peer-driven learning is filling the void left by rigid, one-size-fits-all courses, why organizations mistake a system problem for a learner problem, and how AI can finally deliver the personalized, precise learning support that managers alone were never equipped to provide.
