Learning Uncut is about real conversations around real learning solutions and real experiences with real advice from real people.
We're all about keeping it "real."
Here's an overview of our approach:
Strategy and tactics. We want to unpack the strategy and how-to's of creating great learning solutions, frameworks and teams.
CONVERSATIONS, NOT SCRIPTED DISCUSSION
Our podcasts are professional but not so edited and polished that they lose their authenticity. We want our audience to hear real people having real conversations and sharing real examples and advice.
PROGRESSIVE
We want to showcase the "unsung L&D heroes" out there doing great work, being brave and trying new things.
PRACTICAL
We invite our guests to share tips and strategies to help listeners take their solutions to the next level. We aim to provide actionable takeaways for our listeners through show notes, links and downloads wherever possible.
192: Choosing Learning Technology in the age of AI - Audrey Chan and Adam Hepper
Most L&D teams don't choose the wrong learning platform because they're careless, they choose it because the process is confusing, rushed, or driven by shiny demos.
In this episode, Audrey Chan and Adam Hepper join Michelle Parry-Slater to explore how L&D teams can make better decisions when choosing learning technology. They unpack what a good RFP process looks like, why getting clear on your requirements before speaking to vendors is so important, and how to look beyond features to find a technology partner that genuinely fits your organisation.
They also discuss how AI is changing the learning technology landscape, the questions L&D teams should now be asking vendors, and why understanding your organisation's needs remain more important than chasing the latest functionality.
If you're reviewing your learning technology, preparing for an RFP, or simply trying to make sense of an increasingly complex market, this episode offers practical guidance to help you make a more informed and confident choice.

191: Team alignment is commitment, not agreement - Lindsay Uittenbogaard and John Dobbin
What does alignment really mean when the stakes are high?
Drawing on a global banking case study involving a major regulatory deadline, Lindsay and John share how surfacing different perspectives and working through tensions enabled hundreds of people across multiple geographies to coordinate action and deliver results. This conversation offers practical insights into collaboration, performance, change, and the role learning can play in creating organisational alignment when it matters most, both for L&D professionals and those working in adjacent industries.

190: The Education Revolution – Jeff Davis
The choices we make in education today shape the workforce thirty years from now. In this episode Michelle Parry-Slater speaks with Jeff Davis, Executive Head at Hillcrest Christian College on the Gold Coast and author of Leading the Learning Revolution, about what happens when a school decides to turn education on its head.
From teaching curriculum on Coolangatta Beach to a framework of six secret skills that prepare students for a world of AI and rapid change, Jeff argues that character, service and emotional intelligence are not extras. They are the curriculum. This conversation challenges common assumptions about what schooling is for, explores whole person teaching that blends academic knowledge with purpose and resilience, and surfaces practical ideas for L&D and HR professionals wondering why great candidates are so hard to find and what might change if education did.
