I very much enjoy listening to Julia and Valerie - both their solo conversations as well as their guests. They bring a variety of insightful perspectives on L&D, and their dynamic energy is fantastic!
Julia & Valerie offer so much value to their audience through their energy, the people they select for the interviews and the value they personally bring from experience. I love their podcast and interview style. I feel they’re very selective with all the experts they bring onto the podcast and everyone can learn from the podcast. There are so many golden nuggets!
Thank you Julia & Valerie for having me as a guest and sharing so much with your audience.
I absolutely love this podcast with Valerie and Julia. They’re excellent interviewers who have sourced some really interesting guests. I highly recommend this show!
I loved being a guest on series 2 of The Secrets of Learning & Development. Julia and Valerie are a hoot and made the whole experience fun, enjoyable and an easy conversation. While it was a relaxed vibe, we definitely dived in and tackled some challenging topics around communication and strategies for conflict prevention and management.
Incredibly honoured to have been invited to have been a guest on Valerie and Julia’s wonderful podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation exploring how my values have shaped my journey and how I’ve embraced them and put them at the core of my career - not something I’ve really reflected on before! Loving tuning and hearing the valuable insights and learnings from their other guests.
