Episode #8
Dr. Keith Keating (BDO Canada): How Learning Changes Lives
My guest this week is Dr. Keith Keating , CLO at BDO Canada and an influential author whose latest book, Hidden Value , reveals how learning can drive tangible business outcomes that traditional metrics often miss—turning capability building into a true competitive advantage. (Sidenote: for anyone attending Devlearn in the coming weeks, Keith will be the keynote speaker there, which is super exciting.) In this conversation we dig into three big themes: • Learning how to learn: practical ways to build meta-skills like reflection, inquiry, and transfer so people get better at getting better. • Owning the hard parts: reframing career challenges as chapters in a longer growth journey—how authenticity turns setbacks into capability • Storytelling for impact: crafting narratives that connect learning to outcomes leaders care about—productivity, agility, and client value—so L&D earns attention and investment. It’s a thoughtful, actionable playbook for anyone leading learning in the real world. Enjoy!
