15. Scaling Learning: Magdy Karam x ‘Dare to Lead’

I’m speaking specifically about learning in most organizations, and we’ve all had the experience of those courses that seem to suck the life out of us. But not every course, not every program. Magdy Karam is the Chief Learning Officer for Microsoft Canada.
