In the grand finale of The Learning Velocity Series, Performance Matters Podcast host Michael Thiel sits down with GP Strategies' Nic Girvan, Senior Director of Leadership and Inclusion, and Dr. Cheryl Jackson, Director of Organization Design & Change Management, to unpack the human side of learning velocity (where transformation either accelerates or quietly stalls). Together, they explore why AI adoption is as much a behavioral shift as a technological one, why the "messy middle" of leadership is where most change initiatives stall, and why psychological safety needs a serious rethink in the age of AI. Nic and Cheryl tackle the four leadership mindsets that matter most right now, why enterprise thinking is tripping up even seasoned leaders, and how fear of failure is being amplified by tools that sound polished and certain. You'll also hear why "learning out loud" may be the most powerful leadership behavior of the AI era, how visible decision-making and visible sense-making unlock momentum, and why change readiness and resilience are competitive advantages that organizations should be building long before they need them. This is the human side of learning velocity—the side that determines whether your organization actually moves at the speed of change or just talks about it. 🎧 Download the Learning Velocity™ Guide from GP Strategies for deeper insights across all three episodes in this series.

In this episode of the Performance Matters Podcast, GP Strategies CEO Jean-François (JF) Vézina joins Michael Thiel to explore the growing gap between learning activity and real business performance. As the pace of work accelerates, traditional training models are no longer enough. Skills are evolving faster, business needs are shifting more quickly, and organizations are under pressure to build capability in real time. This conversation introduces a critical shift: Learning Velocity™ is becoming a key competitive advantage. JF shares why organizations need to move beyond measuring learning volume and instead focus on how quickly employees can apply knowledge in the flow of work. The discussion covers how learning leaders can align learning strategy with business outcomes, support workforce transformation, and enable continuous skill development in an AI-driven world. This episode is ideal for leaders in learning and development, talent development, HR, and anyone focused on the future of work, workforce transformation, and enterprise learning strategy. #LearningAndDevelopment #FutureOfWork #WorkforceTransformation #LearningStrategy #CorporateLearning ------------------------------------ Brought to you by GP Strategies: https://www.gpstrategies.com Performance Matters Podcast from GP Strategies: https://www.gpstrategies.com/podcasts/ Find us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gp-strategies-corporation/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/gpcorp Contact us: https://www.gpstrategies.com/contact-us/ yt:video:_vdPtUO2bpc _vdPtUO2bpc UCMdcU5JY7QuxsX5UP-I5KzQ GP Strategies https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMdcU5JY7QuxsX5UP-I5KzQ 2026-04-17T18:41:14+00:00 2026-05-18T17:10:19+00:00 GP AIQ+™ AI is raising the bar for how learning teams create and deliver at scale.

It stalls because of fear. The Chasm of Fear is the space between safe actions and bold actions. On one side: continuous improvement, alignment, and inclusive conversations. On the other: risk-taking, healthy conflict, challenging the status quo, and prioritizing what matters most. Uncertainty, pressure, AI disruption, and fear of getting it wrong keep leaders stuck on the safe side. The result? Fewer new ideas, quieter voices, and missed opportunities. Crossing the chasm takes more than capability. It takes the right leadership mindsets, supported by trust and psychological safety, so people feel confident to speak up, experiment, and lead boldly.
