The pandemic has drastically shifted what it means to be in live entertainment. Colleagues have shared with me that the structure, roles, and competencies of positions have evolved and adapted to the needs of the industry. Right now, we have an opportunity to identify what new skills and knowledge are needed across many disciplines.

Within our division, there are a ton of ideas on how to engage employees in development opportunities, and I'm seeing that many of them prefer learning hands-on from leaders within the company and business altogether. Our division is in a space where relationship building is essential for success, so why not weave that social context into learning?

As we see new roles emerge and digital experiences being comparable to live experiences, I wouldn't be surprised to see business-related learning take a front seat. There is also a general focus on employee well-being and work-life balance, so meaningful, self-paced, bite-size learning is going to be the name of the game.

L&D will look different at different companies. Our roles really adapt to the company's culture, structure, and needs. It's fun and challenging to reset your perspectives with each new role you step into. Make it a point to get connected with leadership throughout your organization. They're often going to be your stakeholders. It's never too early to learn how to be strategic and get into that mindset.
