On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Simulation is transforming healthcare training and saving lives. Here are the top takeaways from our conversation with Joe Corvino of Laerdal Medical.

Simulation Enhances Competence & Emergency Preparedness – High-fidelity simulations help healthcare professionals develop critical skills in real-life scenarios, improving decision-making and response times in high-stakes situations.
Technology is Advancing Training Effectiveness – From high-fidelity mannequins that breathe and bleed to AI-powered conversational simulations and VR-based learning, technology is making medical training more realistic and accessible.
Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) is Revolutionizing CPR Training – Research shows that CPR skills deteriorate within months, but Laerdal’s RQI program helps healthcare professionals maintain competence through frequent, low-dose training rather than traditional classroom sessions.
Simulation is Expanding Beyond Healthcare – While healthcare is a major focus, simulation-based training is applicable across industries, providing safe, immersive environments for learning in aviation, emergency response, and beyond.

Hear what surprised him most, why AI remains a dominant focus, and how L&D professionals are responding to increasing pressure to prove value and do more with less. SHOW NOTES: Donald Taylor shares a timely look at where the industry is heading—and why it matters. His key takeaways include: AI Dominates—Again For the second year in a row, AI received unprecedented support in the L&D Global Sentiment Survey, signaling not just hype but real momentum in how professionals are exploring its potential—especially for internal efficiencies. Value Matters More Than Ever "Showing value" made a strong comeback in this year’s survey results, reflecting a growing urgency among L&D teams to demonstrate their impact in measurable terms, especially in resource-constrained environments. Data-Driven Strategy Is Rising The most popular trends—including upskilling, reskilling, and learning analytics—require robust data strategies. L&D is shifting from delivery methods to understanding workforce capabilities at a deeper level. The "Do More With Less" Reality Resource limitations were the fastest-growing challenge cited by respondents. As budgets tighten, L&D professionals are being asked to deliver greater impact with fewer people, tools, and time. Building Relationships Is Still Foundational Amid all the tech shifts, Taylor emphasizes that personal connection remains essential. Strategic L&D leaders build credibility by getting out of their offices, listening to business needs, and aligning learning to organizational goals.

34:04

Lee Travis, Vice President of Health, Safety, and Environment at Equix, discusses how organizations can move beyond compliance and embed safety into their culture. He shares how leadership visibility, effective communication, and personal connection make safety training more meaningful—and how every role in an organization plays a part in keeping people safe. Show Notes: Lee Travis has more than 30 years of experience in the health, safety and environment training area and shares best practices for empowering team members to make safety a priority every day. Here are some of his key takeaways. Safety Culture Starts with Leadership: Creating a strong safety culture takes effort—and then more effort. Leaders must be visibly engaged, empower employees, and reinforce safe behaviors to embed safety into the DNA of the organization. Make Safety Personal: The most impactful safety training connects to people’s lives. Lee encourages people by asking, “Why do you work safely?” to tap into personal motivations, making training more meaningful and behavior-changing. Bridge the Gap Between Office and Field: Everyone plays a role in safety, even if they’re not in high-risk environments. Real stories—from control room operators to credit card admins—show how cross-functional awareness builds a unified safety mindset. Micro-Training and Tailgate Talks Work: Traditional training has its place, but short, focused sessions in the field (like morning tailgates) are also effective. These bite-sized interactions keep safety top-of-mind and relevant to daily tasks. Use Tools That Empower Learners: Centralized training records and self-service access to learning platforms help close compliance gaps. When employees own their training progress, completion rates rise and accountability increases.

Learning doesn't stop when formal training ends—it continues in the flow of work. On this episode of Powered by Learning , Chief Learning Evangelist and Co-Founder of Apply Synergies Bob Mosher discusses the Five Moments of Need and how organizations can embed learning into the workplace to drive real performance outcomes. Show Notes: Here are some of the key points from our interview with Bob Mosher about the Five Moments of Need framework. The Five Moments of Need Framework Enhances Workplace Learning: Traditional training focuses on acquiring new knowledge, but real learning happens when employees apply their skills on the job. The Five Moments of Need —New, More, Apply, Change, and Solve—help organizations create a more effective learning ecosystem. A Performance-First Mindset Leads to Better Outcomes: Organizations should shift from a "training-first" mindset to a "performance-first" approach. This means embedding learning into the flow of work rather than relying solely on formal training sessions. Measuring Learning Impact with Business KPIs: Learning should be tied to measurable business outcomes, not just completion rates or assessment scores. Mosher emphasized the importance of workflow learning dashboards that correlate learning consumption with performance improvements. Regulated Industries Can Still Embrace Workflow Learning: Compliance training is necessary, but it doesn’t have to be limited to traditional classroom settings. By embedding learning into daily tasks, organizations—especially those in highly regulated industries—can enhance retention and reduce errors. AI is Revolutionizing Learning and Performance Support: AI is playing a growing role in workplace learning by reducing the time SMEs spend creating content and enhancing real-time, in-the-moment learning with digital coaching and performance support tools. However, ensuring AI-generated content is contextual and accurate remains a key challenge. Listen to Bob Mosher's podcast.
