In this episode of Development Reimagined, Chin and Anita look back at the jobs, leaders, challenges, opportunities, and unexpected moments that shaped their professional evolution.From letting go of the pressure to be the expert, to realizing learning cannot fix a workplace system that does not support the desired behavior, this conversation explores what becomes visible when we take time to look back.And for HR, L&D, and people leaders, there is an important question underneath it all: Are we creating enough space for people to be exposed, gain experience, and evolve?

In this episode:

• Why people need experience and practice, not just information, to grow
• How workplace systems can undermine even great learning
• Why professional growth sometimes requires letting go of an old version of yourself
