I came across @sreshtea for the first time in the L&D Shakers community, and she was one of the people who made me consider that community one of the most vibrant I know. And that’s saying something; plenty of fascinating people over there. I can’t recall our first one-on-one call, but I’ll never forget Srishti’s beaming smile when she talks about her passions — especially learning, a shared interest. I’ll also never forget how she accepted without hesitation when I invited her to present at The @TalentProtocol Learning Festival — a crazy idea I had to create an online learning festival for 200 people in a couple of weeks. And we delivered what we promised with the help of great contributors like Srishti, united by their love for learning. We feel Srishti’s passion for learning in every conversation. It’s not just what she does but how she engages in every conversation. In her case, learning runs in her veins; she comes from a four-generation education legacy. Whether you’re a lifelong learner, a learning designer, or just a curious mind, you’ll get something new from her newsletter, Learning Nerd’s Diary. Not only are her editorial choices great, but I’m also a big fan of her engaging and accessible writing. Srishti says learning gives her a rush like nothing else. By reading this interview, you’ll feel the energy she gets from it.
