Show Notes

We rarely stop to look back. One achievement blurs into the next, and before long we’ve accumulated years of practice without ever taking stock of what we’ve actually learned.

In this episode, Michelle Parry-Slater invites Greg Wilton – a St. Louis-based L&D practitioner with a career spanning darkroom photography, web publishing, global e-learning, and generative AI – to do exactly that. Together they trace the experiences, pivots, and hard-won insights that shaped his thinking: from a process safety briefing that reframed the entire purpose of intake, to a human-centred questioning methodology that quietly became a masterclass in performance consulting, to his current thinking on wisdom management and a proposed update to Bloom’s Taxonomy for the age of AI.

A reflective conversation that will send you back to your own career with fresh eyes.
