The Performance Consulting Mindset Shift (Podcast Episode 5)
Jess Almlie
Learning & Performance Strategist. I help learning/talent leaders and teams stop taking orders and start working more strategically, intentionally, and with measurable impact.
Time for episode #5 of the L&D Must Change podcast and it's a whopper!
In this episode I'm talking with Christopher Adams, PhD , principal consultant of Performance Change Strategies LLC and self-proclaimed performance consulting champion for L&D.
Personally, the mindset shift from L&D focusing solely on the learning solutions we create to one of performance consulting changed the way I did work, interacted with stakeholders, and led L&D teams. It improved the impact of L&D and was a big part of changing our work to that of strategic business partners within the company. I believe it can help you to do the same!
Performance consulting focuses on the gaps that exist between the performance of people and the desired business results. Sometimes training can help to close those gaps and sometimes it cannot. We owe it to our stakeholders, who come to us with a pain point that needs solving, to help figure out the best solution.?
Christopher and I discuss:?
Take a listen and then, let us know your biggest takeaways, questions, ideas, etc. We get better by learning from and with each other. You are part of that equation!

L&D Must Change content jumps back and forth from a newsletter one week and a podcast episode the next. The two content types take turns, just like we all learned to do in kindergarten (lol).
Please share your takeaways, questions, and ideas alongside each one. If we are really going to improve this profession, we need to keep learning from each other and that includes you!
