170: Rethinking Learning: Autonomy Over Content - James Swift

Episode notes

When James Swift moved from Sales into his L&D role at Leyton UK, he started as many do - trusting the 'L&D experts', buying content, and chasing engagement. But it didn't deliver results. So he flipped the script. In this episode, James shares how he built a culture of accountability, motivation, and autonomy - putting learners in charge of their own development. Discover how informal coaching evolved into a structured pathway, and why trusting people to learn their way outperformed content-driven solutions in driving real performance.
