Last year, we recorded an episode on whether "self-directed learning" is a myth. In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, we ask how we can create an environment where this behavior thrives.

Ross G and Cammy are joined by Stella Collins to discuss:

What needs to be in place for self-directed learning to flourish?
How can L&D pros create this ecosystem?

During the discussion, we mentioned action learning sets.

We also referenced our 'Building Better Managers' report, Amy Edmondson's book The Kind of Wrong, and the CRAFT framework.

Stella also discussed the book Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures, by Merlin Sheldrake.

In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross discussed the current trend for placing bets on world events.
