If your learning team is still seen as a cost center, this episode will change how you show up.
Jacob sits down with Andrew Scivally, CEO of ELB Learning, to explore why L&D’s credibility is suffering—and what it takes to reposition the function as a performance-driven strategic partner.
Andrew has worked with Fortune 100s, led L&D at JPMorgan Chase and Zion’s Bank, and now helps learning teams stop building “fluff” and start driving results.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
💡 “If you want to be seen as strategic, stop calling yourself a learning team. Call yourself a performance team. That’s what the business actually cares about.”
This is a bold, practical, and energizing conversation for any L&D leader ready to step up and be seen as essential to business growth.
