Course details
How do you build team skills when nobody has time to stop working? For many managers, learning feels like just another item on an endless to-do list. In this course, Stephanie Conway, Senior Director and Global Head of Talent Development at LinkedIn, and Amy Sell, Principal Program Manager at LinkedIn Learning, offer a better approach: integrating learning into the flow of work.
Discover the Learning Loop, a simple, five-step framework—Notice, Focus, Practice, Reflect, and Repeat—that turns daily work into skill-building opportunities. Learn how to use LinkedIn Learning to support your team with targeted content and AI-powered Role Play without adding extra administrative burden. Whether you're a curator or a people manager, this course equips you with tools to design Skill Sprints that are small enough to fit into your existing workflow, structured enough to create real movement, and repeatable enough to build lasting habits. Start shaping the conditions for learning that sticks.
