Cracking the C-Suite Code: Elevating L&D as a Strategic Partner

Let’s be real — getting a seat at the executive table isn’t always easy for L&D. The C-suite speaks in ROI, outcomes, and impact, while we’re often talking engagement, skills, and performance. The truth is, it’s not about working harder — it’s about communicating differently. In this session, I’ll share real-world strategies (and a few lessons learned the hard way!) for showing leaders how training directly connects to business results, and how to shift L&D from “nice to have” to “must have.”

During this session, you will learn:

• Speak executive language to clearly show L&D’s business impact
• Connect training initiatives to measurable outcomes and ROI
• Gain confidence and build influence in advocating for L&D as a strategic, must-have business partner
