On this episode of Bison Breakthrough, I catch up with my former CPDC colleague and Nichols College alum Danielle Eli, who now works in Learning and Development at a local bank.
Danielle shares how she transitioned into the L&D field, what her day-to-day looks like, and why ongoing learning is a key part of professional success—no matter your industry.
We dive into:
- What Learning and Development really means in the workplace
- How employees can take ownership of their growth
- Advice for students on embracing lifelong learning
- How she found her path to a meaningful, people-centered role
If you’re curious about training and development or want to make the most of learning opportunities at work, Danielle’s insights will help you grow forward.
