Finding your next learning and development leadership role can feel overwhelming, especially when the transition wasn’t part of your plan. This guide was created from real conversations with learning leaders in the fall of 2025 who have openly shared what this season is really like. Their insights, stories, and practical tools form the foundation of a resource designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. 

Inside, you’ll find guidance on everything from managing the emotional side of a job search to treating your transition like a structured work project. You’ll learn how to set healthy rhythms, track momentum, avoid scams and misleading job posts, and rebuild your professional narrative in a way that feels authentic. Leaders also share what skills organizations are prioritizing now, from AI fluency to strategic alignment, so you know how to position yourself for modern expectations. 

This guide also highlights the power of community. Throughout TrainingPros’ Learning Leaders Looking benchmarking sessions, participants emphasized how much connection matters, both for motivation and for uncovering real opportunities. You’ll discover practical ways to stay visible, build meaningful relationships, and keep your confidence strong, even on the tough days. 

Whether you’re actively seeking your next role, quietly exploring possibilities, or simply needing perspective during a period of change, this resource was written for you. It offers encouragement, practical tools, and a reminder that this moment is not a setback, it’s the start of a new chapter. Download the guide and take the next step with support, strategy, and a little more peace of mind.
