How to Grow Your Career in Talent Development

As a speaker, consultant and facilitator, part of my job is staying up to date on the current research, trends and ideas about talent development by reading what’s out there in the dialogue and discourse on new trends, stories, and examples. This is where I’ve often drawn inspiration for my own podcast and newsletter, and the work I do to serve my clients.

While there’s never been more access to content and information, sorting through all of the noise to find the signals can be difficult. I’m not perfect by any means, but because I’ve tried my best to find the best content and ideas out there, I’ve developed some resources over the years to keep track of what I’ve found.

Note: While this is geared toward professionals who work in the talent development role, many of these resources are also relevant for those in the following roles:

  • Learning and development
  • Leadership development
  • Talent management
  • Career development
  • Employee experience

These resources also can be helpful if you work in the following businesses or serve the following industries:

  • Hiring
  • Learning & Education
  • Training & Leadership
