Slice of life Serial Audio Book
Synopsis:
This is not your average podcast, as it is designed as an ongoing audiobook series. Sarah Millar has devoted several years to Learning and Development, gradually recognising that people often lack enthusiasm for training. She's made earnest efforts to infuse fun into the learning process. Still, she soon realises it's not as captivating as hoped. Together with her colleague Doug, they ventured into establishing a learning and development company, nurturing the hope that this would liberate them from their stagnant learning rut and allow them to create the learning tools they'd always envisioned. Sarah encountered the complexities of launching a business and adapting along the way. Through this journey, she gleaned valuable insights about learning, primarily from engaging clients and the people in her professional circle. This Podcast series is Written by Michelle Whelan (@BanjoPatti) and voiced by AI simulation Elli. (Rating- MA) ©Michelle Whelan 2023
