Unlocking Intercultural Agility with Marco Blankenburgh
What Actually Creates Behavior Change in L&D? | With Nicole Regan | Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do so many learning and development initiatives struggle to create lasting behavioral change?
In a previous conversation, we explored where things often break down and why strong strategies and well-designed programs don’t always translate into impact.
In this episode of Unlocking Intercultural Agility, we take the next step.
Together with Nicole Regan-White, CEO of Create Space Group, we shift the focus from diagnosis to design, exploring what it actually takes to build leadership development that creates meaningful, sustained change.
Because once we understand the problem, the real question becomes:
What do we do differently?
In this conversation, we explore:
• How to better align L&D with business reality
• What it looks like to involve practitioners earlier in the process
• Why behavior needs to be considered from the moment of hiring
• How leaders can move from informing to truly developing people
• The role of coaching in embedding change over time
• How intercultural agility strengthens implementation across contexts
This episode is especially relevant for CHROs, L&D leaders, and executives working in complex, multicultural environments.
Because sustainable transformation does not happen by accident.
It requires intentional design, consistent reinforcement, and a deep understanding of how people engage with change.
