3 Small Shifts that Increase Your Credibility as a Learning Designer

In this episode of Learning for Good, I break down three practical shifts nonprofit learning designers can make to build credibility and grow their influence.

Many competent learning and development professionals feel like their recommendations don't carry weight. It's frustrating to know you understand a problem and can offer a better solution, only to have that expertise go unheard. That gap usually has less to do with skill and more to do with how much evidence you've given people that you can be trusted.

I explain why credibility isn't something you announce, it's something you build one interaction at a time until people trust your judgment enough to follow where you lead.
