Do you and your team ever feel burned out? Not just tired, but stretched too thin, pulled in every direction, and constantly 'on' yet never caught up?


If you're in Learning & Development, chances are the answer is yes.


You're responding to urgent requests, juggling hybrid delivery, measuring impact, and trying to keep your team motivated, all while wondering if you're actually making the difference you set out to make.


And yet, the demands keep coming.


L&D is expected to be strategic, influential, agile and impactful. But with limited time, resources and headspace, many learning leaders feel like they’re treading water.


That’s where the TwentyOne Leadership L&D Academy steps in.


From Overwhelm to Ownership


The L&D Academy isn’t just about learning; it’s about breathing space. It’s about rediscovering why you do what you do, and how to do it with purpose, not just pressure.


We help you get off the hamster wheel and start leading with intention.

Burnout doesn’t come from working hard, it comes from working without clarity, autonomy or progress.


The Academy gives L&D professionals and their teams the support and structure to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive leadership.


Brain-Friendly, People-First Learning


The L&D Academy is built on the principles of brain-friendly learning, because if we expect our people to engage deeply with learning, we should model what great looks like ourselves.


That means experiences that are:


  • Energising, not exhausting

  • Collaborative, not isolating

  • Strategic, not just operational

  • Practical, not just theoretical


This isn’t another course to tick off. It’s a space to reconnect with your mission, your mindset and your next chapter.

 

Real Tools for Real Impact


Through a powerful blend of coaching, community and practical frameworks, the Academy helps you:


  • Clarify your L&D strategy and align it with business priorities

  • Boost your credibility and influence with stakeholders

  • Lead your team with confidence and purpose

  • Measure learning in ways that show real results

  • Rediscover energy, flow and joy in your role

 

My Perspective


I’ve worked in, led, and consulted with L&D teams for over 30 years. I’ve seen brilliant people pushed to the edge, not because they weren’t capable but because they were too valuable to stop.


The L&D Academy is where you get to stop, reflect, reset and come back stronger.


Your Reboot Starts Here


If you’re ready to move from fatigue to flow and help your team do the same, the L&D Academy is for you.
