It started with a bold LinkedIn comment—and sparked a podcast. When a Fortune article revealed that managers were firing recent grads they had just hired, Chinwe ("Chin") Grace Jones and Anita Gouveia picked up the thread and never put it down. 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.

Reimagining Leadership Development

Only 10% of leadership development programs are effective—so why do we keep doing them the same way? In this episode of Development Reimagined, Chin and Anita dive deep into one of the most broken and bloated systems in today’s workplace: leadership development. With only 1 in 10 programs delivering real results, they ask the bold question: What needs to be reimagined? You’ll discover:

Why traditional leadership training misses the mark
The difference between leadership theory vs. practical application
Why recruiting the right mindset matters more than tenure or promotion cycles
Creative ideas for making development more measurable, personal, and impactful—without breaking your L&D budget

Plus, they share new ways to build in real feedback, capture meaningful leadership moments, and create lasting behavioral change inside (and outside) the classroom.
