In the session, we will explore a radical idea: the best skill you can give your employees isn’t a new technical ability or certification—it’s teaching and leading them how to learn. When learning becomes second nature, employees are empowered to adapt, innovate, and succeed in the face of uncertainty.
This session will explore how to transform learning from a task into a source of inspiration. We’ll discuss how to cultivate a culture where curiosity fuels development, mistakes become stepping stones, and every challenge becomes a motive for new knowledge. By implanting a "learning-to-learn" mindset into your organization, you can switch on the light that keeps your workforce motivated and resilient, no matter what the future holds.

1. Highlight the importance of "learning-to-learn" as an essential skill.
2. Introduce strategies to embed curiosity and adaptability into workplace culture.
3. Provide actionable steps to turn learning into a motivational cornerstone.

We will explore why relying solely on coaching, mentoring, facilitating, training may not a guarantee of the desired results.

This session will focus on how HR professionals and leaders can combine different methods to create impactful one-on-one dialogues. By understanding the employee’s needs and blending techniques appropriately, organizations can create a good ground for growth, motivation, and stronger alignment with business goals. Participants will examine why blindly following trends in development practices can lead to missed opportunities for genuine connection and results.
