How to Be an Outlier on the Inside: Gina Jeneroux [reads] ‘Switch’

What’s it like trying to lead change at a two century old beloved brand? Precisely the question we asked this week’s guest, Gina Jeneroux, who’s doing just that at one of Canada’s biggest financial services companies, BMO Financial Group. Toronto-based Gina, who’s Chief Learning Officer, more than answers that intriguing question—and is thus the perfect next up in our on-going dialogs with ‘Learning Leaders’ in this thematic season of Learning Is The New Working. Tune in, then, as they used to say, to hear her thoughts on her role and contribution which covers everything from advancing performance through enterprise learning strategy, design, operations and governance. It was great to talk to her, and I am also delighted to say this is another episode in the Season sponsored by our friends at The Future Workplace Academy—a curated collection of five week online cohort courses to up-skill HR and HRIS team members for the future of work, with all content designed by and for HR leaders. The all-online courses are being guided by an advisory board led by Future Workplace, an HR Advisory and Research firm providing peer networks, professional development and research on What’s Next in Transforming and Re-Imagining HR. Future Workplace operates the Future Workplace Network, a consortium of HR, Talent, and Corporate Learning leaders from FORTUNE 1,000 organizations who convene four times a year to discuss and debate what’s next in preparing for the future of work. It’s a great project, and I hope you have time to dip in, but as an appetiser, let’s hear from Gina and her twin role of leading the Bank’s Corporate University, a beautiful real-world facility called the Institute for Learning, as well as: her personal journey from working as a Saturday morning teller as a teenager to leading a 200-strong internal L&amp;D resource for her company; what BMO’s trying to do with a CAN$80m a year formal- and informal-training war chest across the group a priority investment; how training is changing to meet the needs of BMO’s 12m customers; practical D&amp;I ‘that March weekend’ when she went to helping 500 people #WFH to over 30000; why her University is shaped like a bow and arrow design; and much more.

'So Many Possibilities:' Gina Jeneroux, Chief Learning Officer, BMO Financial Group

Gina Jeneroux is the Chief Learning Officer at BMO Financial Group where she is responsible for leading the company’s enterprise learning strategy, design, operations, and governance. Additionally, she manages the company’s corporate university, the Institute for Learning in Toronto, as well as various learning sites throughout Montreal and Chicago. She is passionate about storytelling and how it can be used to make learning exciting. Keep Reading &gt;&gt; Gina joins me today to share her insight on how to successfully lead a diverse team and develop a culture of learning in the workplace. She shares why storytelling is so valuable as well as three actionable steps for harnessing the power of stories. She also explains how she remains grounded as a leader and shares success strategies for building a career inside a large company.   “As a leader, it’s really important to be authentic, and to be vulnerable, and to be human. I think if you’re able to tap into that focus on storytelling, it makes it so much easier to be yourself and to show up in the way that you want to.” - Gina Jeneroux   Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:    What her personal experiences have taught her about the importance of learning and how people learn. The benefits of working with a diverse team. Why effective storytelling is so important when it comes to learning and teaching new skills. Tips for executives and entrepreneurs who want to improve their storytelling skills. The importance of learning story structure. Why it is so important to get inside the mind of your audience. How she shifted from a contributor to a strategic leadership role. Why sharing stories help cultivate confidence and conviction in the value of what you are saying. How storytelling can help you show up as the leader you want to be. Tips for effectively leading diverse teams. How having space to experiment, innovate, and collaborate leads to a stronger team. The importance of making people feel trusted and empowered at work. The lesson she is learning about letting go and giving employees the space to shine. Why it is important to tap into what makes someone unique and celebrate that. How she cultivates and maintains her groundedness as a leader. How her natural curiosity helps keep her grounded when things go wrong. Her insights on what it takes to inspire, support, and nurture the next generation of learners and employees in large organizations. How to equip people now for skills they will need in the future as the nature of work continues to change. The importance of creating a culture of learning. Success strategies for building a career inside a large company. The most important shift she made to move from having an impact one-on-one or in small groups to creating impact at scale.      Gina Jeneroux’s 3 Steps to Harness the Power of Stories:    Focus on the audience. Identify what success looks like in every situation. Think about the story you need to tell that links the audience to that success.      Fierce Leadership Quotes:    “I think that if you’ve had a really eclectic background and you’re always jumping in to work with people who have very different backgrounds from you, it means that you’re actually coming to better solutions and you’re thinking about things differently. And I think it shakes things up in a really positive, healthy way.” - Gina Jeneroux “Curiosity helps you be a little bit more grounded and a little bit more zen about the things that will work out phenomenally and the things that won’t.” - Gina Jeneroux “It’s not just about learning for their job or learning for their career, but even encouraging them to learn for their passions because I think passion is really critical in how you’re able to engage with people.” - Gina Jeneroux      Connect with Gina Jeneroux:    BMO Financial Group LinkedIn Twitter        Join the Exclusive Incubator Program!
