Being a Workplace Anthropologist: Finding the Stories That Shape Learning
Let’s be real—sometimes the root of a performance issue isn’t in the data, the survey, or the SME interview. It’s in the culture. It’s in the unwritten rules, the watercooler conversations, the “that’s just how we do it” mindset.
In this Coffee Chat, we’ll dig into what it looks like to step into the role of a Workplace Anthropologist, someone who doesn’t just build learning programs but uncovers the stories, rituals, and behaviors that shape how people actually work.
Because if we want learning to stick, we have to go deeper than bullet points and surface-level analysis. We have to understand the environment in which it’s meant to live.
We’ll talk about:
How to read between the lines and spot patterns in behavior and language
The power of story in identifying barriers to learning
What L&D can learn from curiosity-driven observation
How to use what you discover to build training that fits the real world, not the ideal one
This isn’t about becoming a fly on the wall—it’s about becoming a better partner. Because when you really understand the environment you’re designing for, your learning solutions don’t just land…they stick.
And yep—this session is 100% free. Bring your curiosity, your stories, and your questions.
