This is a story of quiet confidence and big impact. In this episode, I talk with nonprofit learning strategist Heather Burright about the real impact Learning & Development can have—beyond the slide deck.
We dive into how she accidentally fell in love with instructional design, the power of raising your hand for opportunities, and how to earn respect in a field where you’re often told to "just make it blue." She shares the behind-the-scenes of creating life-saving training for doulas and midwives, building boundaries in work-life, and navigating long-distance love (spoiler: it started in a bar).
We talk about:
- The problem-solving heart of real L&D work
- How to build credibility without conflict
- Why training isn’t always the answer—and how to dig deeper
- The unique world of nonprofit learning and development
- How Heather is cultivating community and connection in a digital world
- Why she thanks her younger self for learning to take care of herself
Whether you're in Learning and Development, building your consulting business, or just need a reminder that meaningful work is possible—this one’s for you.
