New here? Don't start here. Go back to Episode 1 and follow the sequence 1–50, designed as a private coaching journey.

Today's guest is ahead of the curve and she has the data to prove it.

Lisa Christensen leads learning design and innovation at McKinsey & Company, one of the most influential firms in the world. She is not guessing about where learning is going. She is building it.

In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Lisa to explore how AI is quietly transforming leadership development, communication training, and the future of how professionals grow at work.

➤ The Shift: Why the old "go away and learn" model is no longer enough and what it means for L&D leaders, coaches, and executives.

➤ The Opportunity: How AI is finally making scaled personalization possible, meeting people in the flow of their work rather than pulling them out of it.

➤ The Guardrails: Why trust, human judgment, and creative friction are more important than ever and how McKinsey is thinking about the ethics of developmental data.

The future of learning is not a course. It is a conversation that meets you exactly where you are.

That is the lesson.
