Offbeat On Air

By Lavinia Mehedintu & Milica Sapic

We are on a mission to break our L&D bubble! We want to connect to people trying to achieve similar goals to ours, but in other circumstances, with different skills, and tools. We’ll learn how scientists solve problems, how professional athletes think of performance, and how surgeons approach the learning process. All of this to infuse new perspectives into our lives as learning professionals.

Improving L&D’s impact through Service Design

Improving L&D’s impact through Service Design

Join us as we explore how integrating Service Design principles into our L&D work can improve the way we cater to our internal customers. Together with Simone Anne Slaviero we discussed:

  • The definition of Service Design as a way to view the entire customer journey and evaluate all backstage processes, systems, and teams that make a service successful.
  • The role and importance of a Service Designer, with aspects such as their involvement in business, project or product management, and UX.
  • The challenge of customer research and user access as a critical part of the process.
  • A step-by-step process of service design, describing issues such as problem definition, stakeholder engagement, and prototyping.

If you're curious about how to best serve your internal customers, you will find this conversation useful and filled with practical tips.

The benefits of yoga for the mind. A journey into calm and inner discovery

The benefits of yoga for the mind. A journey into calm and inner discovery

Yoga is more than just a practice; it's a journey into the self, a discipline that synchronizes the body, mind, and spirit. In our latest podcast episode, we were happy to listen to the insights of Editha Satara, a PowerYoga Teacher, who guided us through the transformative powers of yoga on mental wellbeing.

Here's a glimpse into the discussion we had:

  • Unveiling the layers: Editha shared how yoga transcends physical benefits, acting as a balm for the mind, easing stress, and fostering a sanctuary of calm within.
  • The grounding force: We delve into practices and routines that help maintain a connection to the present moment, highlighting how being grounded can enhance our daily lives.
  • The art of balance in teaching: Editha discussed the delicate equilibrium between meticulous preparation and the intuitive ability to read and respond to the energy of a yoga class.
  • The synergy of wellness: The conversation took us through the complementary relationship between yoga and other pillars of health, such as breathwork and nutrition, underscoring the holistic nature of this ancient practice.

Join us as we navigate the serene paths of yoga with Editha Satara, understanding how this age-old discipline can cultivate an enduring sense of peace and self-discovery. Tune in to this soulful exchange and perhaps find a key to unlock your own journey into inner tranquility. We hope you find inspiration and a moment of peace in this episode.

Can storytelling be a learning tool? Cristian Lupșa’s explorations of journalism

Can storytelling be a learning tool? Cristian Lupșa’s explorations of journalism

We have all encountered journalism in one way or another. It might have been print, it might have been digital, it might have been for the good, or with the purpose of persuasion. But oftentimes we don't hear the stories behind the written piece. Cristian Lupșa took us on a ride of a lifetime and opened up about his early beginnings with journalism, how his craft was polished in time, and the intersections he sees between learning & storytelling. We explored:

  • The difference between opinion pieces and telling stories about people;
  • Why empathy and trust-building are important in crafting the best stories;
  • How we can use storytelling to promote learning within organizations;
  • How can we intentionally design gatherings to reach our purpose-and how he did it with The Power of Storytelling.

It was an amazing, honest conversation. We wandered outside of L&D, into acting, to learn from a practice that might be almost mystical to us, but can provide so much inspiration. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Drama-Based Learning -how Syrus Lowe feeds his facilitation practice from his acting career

Drama-Based Learning -how Syrus Lowe feeds his facilitation practice from his acting career

Facilitation is probably one of the most popular skills in L&D right now. We had the amazing opportunity to discuss with Syrus Lowe, CEO of The Communication Practice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Trainer, and Corporate Role Play Actor about his acting studies, his acting career, and all the things he's learned that feed his facilitation practice. We explored:

  • What it takes to become an actor - from tough studies to overcoming the impostor syndrome;
  • Career development outside of the corporate world - the importance of having a strong internal locus of control;
  • How being a leader and being a theatre director are similar - the importance of psychological safety in effective teams;
  • Why role plays can be powerful if done right.

It was an amazing, honest conversation. We wandered outside of L&D, into acting, to learn from a practice that might be almost mystical to us, but can provide so much inspiration. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Stand-Up Comedy Secrets for L&D Professionals

Stand-Up Comedy Secrets for L&D Professionals

We're closing Season 2 in style. Or better said - in laughter. We had the awesome opportunity of talking to Tom Kozacinski, whose passion for comedy turned into an exciting career. But you might think, what the heck does stand-up have to do with Learning & Development? We thought the same at first, and then it all made sense. Tom explored with us:

  • Behind the scenes of writing a comedy act, performing it, and iterating based on audience feedback;
  • The importance of practice in polishing your craft;
  • Managing audiences of all kinds with both kindness and assertiveness;
  • Managing your own career development when you have multiple streams running at once.

Neuroscience and Learning & Development

Neuroscience and Learning & Development

Our work has SO MUCH to do with our beautiful, yet intricate brains. So it was such a pleasure to discuss with Elliott Jardin, Assistant Professor at Miami University - Brain Health/Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging about his journey and some of the lessons he learned about learning by studying and teaching cognitive neuroscience. We explored:

  • The role of memory & attention in learning;
  • How technology is impacting the learning process and our roles as L&Ds;
  • Ways to keep in touch with research and learn about our brains as L&D pros.

Lessons Learned about Community Building

Lessons Learned about Community Building

How much can we talk about community building? All day long! Well, this episode took a lot less to record, but we could have gone for hours on end exploring our guests' journey. We were joined by Alex Hilleary, Community Lead at ChartHop, and Former Co-Founder at Gather, to explore all things community building. And so we did! We've talked about:

  • the emergence of community-based marketing
  • his journey from intern to co-founder, and now community manager at Charthop
  • the importance of having the right people in your community and weaving that into every step of the members’ experience
  • using the community space to sense-check user needs and decide the future of the community

We're on air again, for the second season of our podcast! For our first episode of this new era, we're diving right into the creative space, together with Miia Goodwin, a multi-discipline hands-on designer and design lead. Together we explore:

  • the parallels between being an art director and an L&D professional;
  • how to add constraints to the brainstorming process to nudge even more creativity;
  • why bringing in all your stakeholders right from the start will help you in the later stages of a project;

What we've learned from Season 1 of Offbeat On Air?

What we've learned from Season 1 of Offbeat On Air?

Reflection is part of everything we do at Offbeat! So naturally, we took some time to what we've learned from Season 1 of Offbeat On Air before jumping into Season 2. Lavinia and Milica discuss where the idea of the podcast came from and some of the lessons they took from meeting Erica, Jamie, Nurit, Miruna, Anne, and Moein.

  • After years of building her L&D network, Milica felt that's all she was seeing in her feed. L&D-related problems, solutions, people. While she knew the power of being surrounded by her tribe, she kept on wondering if there are others facing similar challenges, working with people, but using different frameworks, and just thinking differently. She brought this idea to Lavinia and that's how Offbeat On Air was born;
  • In their first season, they explored addiction & recovery, leadership development in the Australian Army, behavior change & nudges, growth marketing, coaching in lacrosse, and architecture and they learned a lot;
  • In this next season, they want to keep on exploring the world, talking to people from different professions and shining a light on the similarities between L&D's challenges and other completely unrelated professions.

What do L&D and architecture have in common?

For this episode, we decided to venture way outside our comfort zone, into the world of architecture and construction. Little did we know how much we had in common and how many things we'd learned, all courtesy of our guest, Moein Nodehi. Moein is the Founder & CEO of Biotonomy, a holistic & nature-based approach for buildings & cities to address the climate and biodiversity emergency. He walked us through his journey, and what feasibility studies mean, we talked about educating our customers as early as the research phase and pitching them the benefits that relate most to who they are, among others.

Introduction to Behavior Science & Nudges

Introduction to Behavior Science & Nudges

In this new episode, we go back to exploring behavior change, from another angle. Our guest? Nurit Noble! We first learned about Nurit’s work when we stumbled upon her course: Designing Nudges. Together with her colleague, Christina Gravert, they walked us through what nudges are and the BOOST framework, a process they use in designing nudges to support behavior change in different setups.

We explore:

  • The different disciplines that are concerned with behavior science & behavior change;
  • What nudges are and the BOOST process Nurit uses in her work;
  • Different quantitative & qualitative research tools;
  • And using randomized control groups to measure the results of our work.

Episode 2: Leadership Development in the Australian Army

How do other organizations prepare for the future of work? How do they look at leadership development? Why is this episode special you wonder? Because we are going to dive into a totally new space - the army. Joining us on this exploration is Jamie Martin, Director of the Centre for Australian Army Leadership.

Jamie has an incredible story! He has led teams of up to 2,000 as a Helicopter Force commander and pilot. As the Commanding Officer of the 5th Aviation Regiment in the Australian Army, he led missions across the SW Pacific and Australia deployed on security missions, amphibious operations, and national disasters like floods and bushfires. Now, in his new role, Jamie is developing programs to grow the leaders of 2040.

We talk all about his experience of becoming a leader at an early age, how the Australian Army thinks in terms of leadership development now and for the future, and the lessons he's learning along the way.
