Unleashing your inner L&D hero - courage in uncertain times
At the Learning Technologies Autumn Forum, online this October, Laura Overton explores how everyday courage and mindset shifts can help L&D professionals turn disruption into resilience and opportunity.
Change and uncertainty can feel overwhelming - especially for learning professionals who are not immune to the very challenges they help others face. But heroism isn’t just about grand gestures. It’s about everyday courage, the willingness to serve others, and the thinking habits we lean into that keep us moving forward.
In this session you’ll discover how to release your inner hero and turn disruption into opportunities for growth and service.
Join this session to:
- Embrace *heroism* in everyday professional life.
- Reframe disruption as advantage
- Discover simple actions that create resilience and open opportunities.
- Explore practical mindset shifts that lead to bold action, everyday.
- Commit to one small “hero step” you can take immediately in your role.
"Unleashing your inner L&D hero - courage in uncertain times" takes place at the LTAF 2025 online event on Thursday, October 16, 2025 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM.
The Learning Technologies Autumn Forum takes place online on 14, 16, 21 and 23 October. The conference programme is available from the Learning Technologies Autumn Forum website.
