🎉 Sama went live 5 years ago today! 🎉 What started as a bold idea to democratize coaching has become a global movement in people development. Five years ago, our idea became reality with the first download of our app. Since then, Sama has helped global businesses deliver on performance and growth objectives. We're proud to celebrate this milestone — not just for us, but for every leader, team, and organization we've had the privilege to partner with. 💡 Stay tuned as we launch a new series of webinars and insights featuring voices from our community. Here’s to building a future of work where tailored development is  accessible, measurable, and transformative.

Starting a new L&D job? Here’s a lifeline: You don’t need to do everything in the first month. But you do need to listen deeply, ask boldly, and connect constantly. Your first 30 days should be about: ✅ Building real relationships (not just org charts) ✅ Asking “what’s working?” before “what should we fix?” ✅ Spotting the learning roadblocks ✅ Finding quick wins that build trust, not just dashboards ✅ Creating space for leaders to reflect, not just react What worked in your prior roles can sometimes hinder you more than carry you. It’s about building the infrastructure to unlock a culture of high performance and growth in this organization with a specific culture.

Things that definitely never go wrong in Leadership & Development: 🧩 Your beautifully curated leadership program... gets renamed “that soft skills thing”. 📣 You ask for feedback... and get crickets. 📊 You show the impact data... and someone asks, “But did it really change anything?”. 🪄 You plan for behavior change... but people have meetings from 9 to 6. 🏃 You chase ROI... and people say it is correlation, not causation. HR is messy. HR is complex. Because HR is human.

When culture is intentional, not accidental, it becomes the engine behind high-performing, connected teams. As L&D leaders, we don’t just support culture, we shape it. Through the way we design learning experiences, model leadership behavior, and invest in development, we create the conditions for collaboration to thrive. Culture isn’t a vibe. It’s a choice, made every day. Here’s the full story on how Rebecca Lyn Morrow, PC-HRM, CPSP from HigherVisibility helped build a remote-first culture: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/dWutDZmY

So much L&D work never gets measured. ✅ Workshops are delivered. ✅ Budgets are spent. ✅ Platforms are rolled out. But what actually changed? Too often, L&D data lives in silos, or worse, isn’t tracked at all. If we want a seat at the table, we need to bring proof: ❓ What skills are growing? ❓ What behaviors are shifting? ❓ What impact are we having on the business? It’s not about vanity metrics. It’s about telling a credible story of value. And that story starts with better tracking.

92% of HR leaders plan to invest in AI. Rebecca Morrow, Director of HR and Employee Engagement, reminds HR leaders to stay human as AI becomes more integrated into all processes and learning and development in 2025. Rebecca led many strategic culture shifts at HigherVisibility, to drive award-winning performance. When talking to Sama, she shared insights on: ✅ Creating culture in a remote-first team ✅ Help leaders drive performance ✅ Streamlining communication across 4 time zones Read the full interview here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/d-WKkkFu

What should inform your first big L&D decisions? Start with data. Before setting strategy or picking programs, it's worth zooming out: ❓ What are your peers investing in? ❓ Where is budget growing (or shrinking)? ❓ What priorities are getting board-level attention? The "Industry trends to inform your first decisions" section of Sama’s new 30-60-90 Day Playbook for new L&D Leaders pulls together the most relevant stats to help you align your early moves with what’s shaping the future of the function. Start smart. Lead with context. 📥 Download the full guide here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/dg_7bHaB
