From Generic to Genius: Leveraging AI to customize your learning
·OnlineOnlineImportant note: to receive the call details, you must RSVP using this link (e.g. RSVP'ing through Eventbrite won't give you access).
Leaving time for learning, let alone digging into learning that fits you and truly lands, can feel exhausting … before you even get started. You invest time and money into a workshop, a conference, an online course, a podcast, etc., etc, and still wonder if it will make any difference. Will you actually learn anything useful?
One-size-fits-all training often misses the mark. Different roles. Different skill levels. Different motivations. And somehow, we’re expected to learn in a way that works for everyone.
Enter AI.
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere in the conversation right now. But beyond the buzzwords and bold promises, how can you actually use AI in practical, ethical, and effective ways to create customized learning for yourself?
In this interactive and engaging Learning and Development Roundtable, we’ll explore how to use AI as a powerful partner in designing more personalized and engaging learning for you.
This session will be practical, engaging, and immediately useful.

Join us to explore how customized learning powered by AI can move from concept to capability. Just imagine what could shift if your learning solutions truly met you where you’re at.
In this free workshop with me, Lee-Anne Ragan, on April 16th you’ll:
- Leave with fresh ideas and greater confidence in using AI to enhance your learning rather than overwhelm it
- Explore twelve relevant and timely AI tools to pick from that suit you best.
- Uncover my simple bonus tool to help you determine which AI tools work best for you so you don’t waste your time.
- Gain access to 13+ years of Learning and Development Roundtable resources
- Count the workshop towards your annual UN professional development (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend, any and all are welcome)
RSVP using this link by April 14th. Then watch your inbox for our agenda and how to participate online.
