Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, and the past two years have reinforced the same.

Innovation has been core to catapulting out of the COVID-19 crisis. No one was equipped to tackle the disruption, but the majority learnt on the go and navigated the uncertainties that kept unfolding before them while ensuring continued business and people sustainability. Continuous learning is no more just a deliverable, but a cultural backbone that is increasingly becoming essential to survive and thrive through the hybrid reality, for leaders and the workforce alike.

With learning proven to be essential to enabling accelerated recovery and growth, People Matters L&D Conference APAC 2022 brings to you a power-packed day with global leaders, bustling with keynotes, masterclasses and panel discussions.

We hope you have booked your virtual seat and ready to be blown over by the latest in the rapidly-evolving L&D landscape. As a heads-up, here’s a glimpse of the top sessions at People Matters L&D Conference APAC 2022 you absolutely cannot miss:

Keynote: Reaching out of your comfort zone to achieve your best

In a world where talent needs to constantly upskill and transform to maintain relevance, understanding the urgency and methods to change is a valuable skill. As Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results". In this keynote, Organisational and Cross-cultural Psychologist, Andy Molinsky, will empower you to reach out of your comfort zone and transform yourself to achieve the best of your potential.

Masterclass: Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement

As the competition for talent increases, every organisation needs to effectively upskill and reskill their existing talent. In addition, having a culture of learning can help you attract and retain younger employees who highly value opportunities to grow. Through this masterclass with Dr. Britt Andreatta, CEO, 7th Mind, discover several strategies you can implement immediately to create an organisational culture of continuous improvement.

Keynote: Let's Learn Our Way Through It, Shall We? 

Over the past two years, more than ever before, we’ve all been called to do our best to address the challenges that have arisen as a result of a once-in-a-lifetime time of great change and uncertainty. Certainly, we all have much to celebrate and much to contemplate – about the choices that we’ve made, the challenges ahead, and the opportunities that we have to meaningfully contribute to our communities and organizations. In this exciting conversation,

join Kraft Heinz Chief Learning and Diversity Officer and author of “Let’s Learn Our Way Through It, Shall We?,” Pamay Bassey as she shares lessons learned from her experiences creating, nurturing, and transforming her personal and organisational learning culture, and how those lessons can help you to inform how you harness learning as a “superpower” to grow as leaders in an ever changing world.
