In this episode of Catalysts, I sit down with Andrew O’Malley, instructional designer and learning strategist, to talk about how L&D is evolving—and what it takes to stay ahead. From experimenting with AI to designing emotionally intelligent learning experiences, Andrew is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in training and development.
We explore:
- How AI is transforming content development (and where it still falls short)
- Why speed doesn’t equal quality—and what’s needed to evaluate AI-generated materials
- The emerging importance of emotional intelligence in leadership and learning
- Lessons from building a course in a day using generative tools
- Why reflection, empathy, and resilience matter more than ever in L&D
- Advice for newcomers breaking into the instructional design field
Whether you’re experimenting with new tools or rethinking your leadership approach, Andrew brings clarity, candor, and creativity to the future of L&D.
