Why Learning Initiatives Miss the Mark Across Cultures - With Nicole Regan-White
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do so many leadership and learning initiatives look strong in design… yet fail to create real behavioral change?
In this episode of Unlocking Intercultural Agility, I sit down with Nicole Regan-White, CEO of Create Space Group, to explore what breaks down when organizations attempt to develop leaders at scale.
Across industries, technical capability is rarely the issue. The real gap shows up in how people communicate, collaborate, and lead across difference.
Together, we unpack:
• Why people skills remain the biggest leadership gap
• What actually breaks down when leaders lack relational capability
• Why global “one-size-fits-all” programs often fail
• How culture, values, and behavior disconnect across borders
• What it takes to create learning that truly shifts behavior
This conversation is especially relevant for CHROs, L&D leaders, and executives responsible for driving measurable change across complex, multicultural environments.
Because sustainable transformation doesn’t begin with better content.
It begins with understanding how people experience, interpret, and respond to what is being asked of them.
