From Orange to Purple: Why I Joined the Learning Alliance

Learning Alliance

Today, I leave behind my company’s familiar orange colours and step into the vibrant purple of the Learning Alliance. This shift isn’t just about a new look—it’s about embracing a dynamic network that values creativity, collaboration, and meaningful impact over bureaucracy.

As an independent professional, I’ve found the perfect balance here: the freedom to innovate paired with the strength of working alongside top L&D experts. Together, we merge our skills and ideas, co-create pioneering solutions, and focus on delivering results that truly matter to our clients. Teamwork makes the dream work!

For me, this isn’t just a network—it’s a community of peers who inspire and challenge each other to grow. What sets the Learning Alliance apart is its no-nonsense approach: no unnecessary overhead, just craftsmanship and shared purpose.

If you’re an L&D professional looking to connect, collaborate, and innovate, explore what the Learning Alliance has to offer. It might just be the game-changer you’ve been seeking.
