Don’t take our word for it

Julie Dirksen

Lavinia Mehedințu’s new book is smart, practical, and forward-looking. She recognizes that L&D has a much bigger role to play and challenges us to think bigger about our role—as behavioral designers, systems thinkers, (both topics near and dear to me) and critically as facilitators of organizational change.

Author of Design for How People Learn

Anne-Laure Le Cunff

Lavinia Mehedințu brings a deeply practical lens to making L&D more meaningful and business-relevant. Her book is for anyone who wants to rethink outdated ways of working and focus more clearly on the impact L&D can create.

Mildred Fischli

As an L&D professional, I felt truly seen reading L&D Rewired. It names our frustrations with remarkable accuracy: learning that doesn’t stick, being last to hear about projects, first to be cut. Then it shows a way forward. Felt inspired and energized when I finished the book!

I would totally recommend this book to my colleagues, and I would keep it as a handbook on my desk to reference when needed, near Julie Dirksen's Design for How People Learn. I already want to read it again.

L&D, Rewired was easy to read. I like how it balances personal stories, examples from the industry, and research. Reading the first part was quite therapeutic. It made me think, 'Oh, someone said that!'

What’s inside

About the author

I’m Lavinia. I run Offbeat, a space where L&D professionals get together to ask the hard questions our profession is facing.

I have 13 years of experience, which I spent as a Learning Designer, L&D Consultant, and L&D Manager.

Lavinia Mehedintu

I love L&D because it sits at the intersection of different disciplines, such as systems thinking, experience design, behavioural science, facilitation, among others. You can never get bored.

I fell in love with learning only after I left higher education. Once I found out that L&D was a real job, I wanted to make it my career.
