As learning and development (L&D) professionals grow their careers, many set their sights on executive roles like chief learning officer (CLO). While about 50% aspire to the CLO level, fewer than 1% get there, according to Training Industry research. So what does it take to reach the top — and thrive once you do? This webinar explores critical skills, career moves and hard-earned lessons behind successful transitions into CLO and other executive roles — so you can chart your path with confidence and clarity.

Join us for this complimentary Training Industry webinar, sponsored by Training Industry Courses. Your host, Amy DuVernet, Ph.D., CPTM, vice president of learning products at Training Industry, will share research on CLO career paths, including aspirations, outcomes and key executive competencies. Then, hear from two seasoned L&D executives, Dr. Kristal Walker, CPTM and Ann Stott, CPTM, as they share their journeys, challenges and advice for aspiring L&D executives.

This interactive webinar will provide easy-to-understand insights on:

  • The competencies, experiences and mindsets critical for success in executive L&D roles.
  • Real-world challenges executives faced on their path to the top — and how they overcame them.
  • Actionable advice for L&D professionals working toward a CLO or other senior leadership role.
