How can I make learning part of the overall company strategy? How do I convince key stakeholders of the value of L&amp;D? How can I develop a proactive approach to L&amp;D rather than reactive? How can I help my stakeholder see me as a Trusted Learning Advisor instead of an order taker?

Progress requires change. It has never been clearer that those in the field of learning and development are the changemakers for organizations. L&amp;D is an integral puzzle piece for achieving growth and creating value. But for decades, L&amp;D has sat by while others called the shots, made the decisions, and dictated how, when, why, and what type of training or learning interventions would be used in organizations.

Many L&amp;D practitioners are still there—comfortably nestled in the familiarity of playing the role of an order taker for the organization's learning and development needs. Some even justify it by adopting the belief that they should stay in their lane and focus on the work they've been told to do.

But every great innovation in life begins when someone dares to ask, - "But why?"

Written by an author with over 20 years of experience in the industry, this book explains what skills are needed by L&amp;D professionals to become strategic consultative partners to the business by driving value for the organization and unlocking human potential. Full of practical tips, tools, and advice, The Trusted Learning Advisor covers everything from strategies for developing key consultative skills needed to build trust and relationships with stakeholders, which is the foundational concept of a Trusted Learning Advisor, to identifying the L&amp;D maturity level of an organization. There is also practical advice on measuring the value of learning and communicating this impact to the organization and connecting the learning strategy to the business strategy.

This essential guide also includes support on critical thinking, communication, and influencing skills, as well as advice on how to master a growth mindset. Full of examples, actionable steps, and global case studies from Fortune 500 companies, this is crucial reading for all L&amp;D practitioners looking to develop their role as strategic consultative business partners that add true value to the organization, and ultimately achieve their highest purpose in L&amp;D: changing lives through learning.
