by Jane Farnham - director of Great British Talent

In today's fast-paced business environment, organisations are constantly seeking innovative ways to foster continuous learning and development within their workforce.

One powerful strategy that has gained considerable popularity is organising ''learning lunches.''

Learning lunches provide an excellent opportunity for employees to expand their knowledge, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and gain fresh perspectives on various topics.

As the owner of Great British Speakers, I am excited to share insights with you on the importance of hiring a learning lunch speaker and how it can significantly benefit your organisation.

Why Hire a Learning Lunch Speaker?

1. Diverse Expertise: Learning lunch speakers bring a wealth of expertise from various fields, providing your employees with a broader understanding of topics beyond their immediate roles. By inviting knowledgeable speakers, you can expose your team to new ideas, trends, and best practices, stimulating their curiosity and igniting fresh thinking.

2. Engaging Presentations: Effective learning lunch speakers possess excellent communication skills and can deliver captivating presentations that resonate with your audience. They can distill complex concepts into digestible insights, making the learning experience enjoyable and memorable. Engaged employees are more likely to retain information and apply it to their daily work.

3. Inspiration and Motivation: A compelling speaker can inspire and motivate your employees by sharing their personal success stories, lessons learned, and overcoming challenges. This infusion of motivation can invigorate your team, boost morale, and foster a positive and growth-oriented mindset.

4. Networking Opportunities: Inviting a learning lunch speaker not only benefits your employees' knowledge base but also provides networking opportunities. These events allow your team to connect with industry experts, thought leaders, and other professionals, opening doors for collaboration, partnerships, and mentorship.

My Tips for Hiring the Perfect Learning Lunch Speaker;

1. Define Objectives: Clarify your learning objectives and identify the specific topics or areas that align with your organizational goals. Consider the skill sets, expertise, and industry experience you desire in a speaker.

2. Research and Recommendations: Conduct thorough research on potential speakers. Utilize professional networks, online platforms, and seek recommendations from colleagues or industry associations. Look for speakers who have received positive feedback, have relevant experience, and can deliver engaging presentations.

3. Interactive Approach: Seek speakers who can facilitate interactive sessions, incorporating activities, case studies, or group discussions. Interactive learning fosters active participation, engagement, and knowledge retention among employees.

4. Feedback and Evaluation: Collect feedback from your employees after each learning lunch session. Evaluate the effectiveness of the speaker and the impact on the audience. Use this feedback to improve future speaker selection and tailor the learning experiences to your employees' needs.
