Now they’re bringing that energy to Development Reimagined—a weekly conversation where ideas fly, perspectives collide, and learning professionals feel seen. Chin, a leadership and team development coach who works across industries, joins Anita, a seasoned organizational expert with deep internal insights, to explore the shifting realities of workplace learning, talent development, and what it really takes to build people-first cultures. Part think tank, part friend-to-friend download, part strategic brainstorming session—each episode delivers practical insights and fresh thinking for HR and L&D professionals working in complex B2B organizations. From bold questions to big a-ha moments, you’ll leave every episode with one thing: a new idea worth trying.

Why does creativity feel like a luxury—when it’s actually essential? In this episode of Development Reimagined, Chin and Anita break down what it really means to be creative at work—and why most organizational cultures accidentally shut down the very thing they say they want. They reimagine creativity not as performance, perfection, or productivity, but as the natural expression of what wants to emerge. You’ll explore:
- Why creativity isn’t just artistic—it’s how people solve, lead, and grow
- How current systems quietly discourage imagination and experimentation
- The link between creativity and emotional safety (yes, even for grownups)
- Why rough drafts and “bad ideas” are the goldmine of innovation
Whether you’re designing programs or leading people, this conversation invites you to reimagine creativity as a cultural imperative—not an afterthought.
