The Future of Your Professional Development: From Corporate Programmes to Personal Pathways"


Listen Later

Introduction

In this episode, Ian Banner and Maria MacCloud tackle one of the most uncomfortable truths in professional development: your company cannot and will not take complete responsibility for training you for success.

Together, they explore why generic corporate training programmes are like fast food for your career - satisfying in the moment but lacking the nutrition for sustained growth.

Ian introduces his powerful concept of treating yourself as both the product and the product owner of your own career, whilst Maria provides candid perspectives on navigating development opportunities when budgets are tight and competition with peers is real.

They dive deep into learning pathways, the three-expert rule for finding genuine thought leaders, and how AI tools can accelerate your research whilst highlighting why human discernment remains irreplaceable.

This isn't just another conversation about professional development - it's a manifesto for taking complete ownership of your career trajectory in an industry that changes faster than most training programmes can adapt.
