S4 E08: Embracing Learner Agency

Learning designer, Suzy Robertson, from McKinsey & Company, joins the show to share insights from her research on learner agency and why it was a major predictor of success for organizations and institutions during the pandemic. We also discuss how to empower agency, why establishing trust is so important, promoting inclusive social structures, moving away from our reliance on collision moments, and more.
