When we take Leaps, we're bound to face the unexpected. That's when owning your pivots is most important. In this week's Wednesday Words, Erin Murphy reflects on reframing goals and staying agile when things don't go how you plan, and how our Leapers at Kraft Heinz did that just this last May.

If you’re battling burnout, this 29th Gift is for you. With summer in full swing, you might start to get a few more moments of rest. But if you’re fighting burnout, instead of being resets, these breaks might reveal how exhausted and overloaded you’ve become at work. Building resilience is more important for you now than ever. A few years ago, we led an experiment called Playlists, where we designed bite-sized learning experiences meant to fit easily into the day of a busy learner. We focused on a key skill for the modern workplace: resilience. As our June 29th Gift to you, we’re sharing some of our most impactful Resilience Playlist experiences for free. They’ll help you combat burnout, recenter on your values, and build protection against future stress. These activities slot right into your day-to-day, so you can build resilience with whatever time you have available. Fun, challenging, and impactful, these activities range from less than 20 minutes to daily habits meant to be done for a whole year, and are designed so you can jump immediately into an experience with minimal planning.

And happy Leap Year. 🎁 #lifelonglearning #learninganddevelopment #futureoflearning #futureofwork #learning #corporatelearning #workplacelearning #resilience

Thank Gabriela Néspoli for taking a Leap with us this year 👏 It's no small feat to jump out of your comfort zone, let alone in front of a crowd of 100! You've inspired us to keep Leaping, and we can't wait to see many more moments like this for you.

ANNOUNCING: Our refreshed approach to workplace learning! We are thrilled to share that we have fully integrated our one-of-a-kind Leaps methodology into all our programs. Since our inception, Ei has championed a unique approach to learning. Over the past decade, we’ve experimented various learning models, and a singular theme has emerged that ensures impactful learning: taking Leaps. At Ei, Leaps are self-directed projects designed to take learners out of their comfort zones and pursue growth where it matters most. Over the years, we’ve guided hundreds of people to take powerful Leaps through our flagship Leaps program. By pairing our content-driven workshops with this transformative, experiential model, we are furthering our promise to deliver learning that sticks. Read more about it at out our refreshed website below. Happy Wednesday, and let's get Leaping! www.expinstitute.com #lifelonglearning #workplacelearning #learninganddevelopment #futureoflearning #futureofwork #corporatelearning #experientiallearning

Belonging has always been a core value at Ei. We want our people to come to work as their whole selves, honoring the differences that make each of us who we are. And we even celebrate them together! And in honor of Pride Month—a time to intentionally celebrate belonging— Erin's Wednesday Words this week is all about strategies we've used to create a sense of belonging on our team, and how you might do the same.

It's a big day at Experience Institute. Here's the update from Victor Saad: I started Ei in 2012 when I was just 26 years old. Fresh off of my “self designed Masters,” I was ready to take on the world with a new kind of learning. Over the past dozen years, the company has evolved and matured. We’ve worked to create a solid business that is financially sustainable, independently owned, and focused on the mission of helping leaders and teams grow through Leaps — a process we built from the ground up. Today, I’m immensely proud to say that Ei is healthier than ever. Now it’s time to support our next chapter of growth. Next week, I’ll be stepping down as CEO of Experience Institute. And the really exciting news is that the incoming CEO is already part of the team! Sara Loncka has been a longtime friend who formally joined Ei in 2021. Over the past three years, she’s helped grow Ei’s workplace learning business. Under Sara’s care, our learning experiences have become more rigorous, impactful, and memorable. I’ve seen her ability to focus on customers while also thinking about the health of a solid, sustainable business. She has the trust of our entire community — from our global clients, to our incredible team, to our caring advisors. I could go on, but you get the picture. Ei is in great hands. Of course, Sara won’t be doing this alone. Today, there is a tight, core team that leads Ei’s daily operations and a network of world-class instructional designers, facilitators, and coaches. When a company chooses to work with Experience Institute, they’re working with a group of people who aim to be true partners — hyper-organized, customer-focused, and aptly experienced in helping teams work better together through experiential learning. While everyone is trying to convince you that an async video course, or an app is going to develop your people, we’ll be here to show the power of live learning, coaching, and self-directed projects that connect the content back to the learner’s daily life and work. This is a one-of-a-kind shop that helps teams take Leaps forward, together. As for me, I’ll be shifting to an advisory role as Chairman of the Board. As part of that work, I’ll build a community of advisors from the arenas of Talent Development, Leadership Development, Org Design, and Executive Education. More on that soon. For now, whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you just joined, *thank you* for being part of this journey. I really do feel like I won the lottery over the past 12 years. And that's because of you. Now, as we prepare for this transition, I’m collecting notes for Sara and the Ei team. Can you share more about what you’re excited to learn or experience next? What challenges are you currently facing in your work where Ei might support? Just leave your thoughts here sometime in the next week: https://lnkd.in/gG86Tf2w. Can't wait to hear from you! Here's to our next Leaps, together. - Victor
