The LnD Community One

This week’s guests are Anita Gouveia. Anita is an organisational development and learning leader who's spent the last 20+ years helping people grow, lead and making work better for people (and people better at work). She's led leadership programs, built practical and inclusive learning strategies and coached teams across industries. She's not afraid to challenge outdated models or call out the fluff that gets in the way of real development. Outside her day job, she volunteers as Chair of the Peel-Halton Chapter of the Institute for Performance and Learning, where she helps connect and elevate L&D professionals. She's also a fan of improv, walks and a good podcast!
