Simulations, strategy & the future of work

As part of her bimonthly podcast, Sheereen Burton talks with Advantage Partner Rob Grossman, who shares his passion for talent development and talks about Advantage Performance Group's role in helping to curate and create impactful, memorable learning experiences for organizations as a trusted extension of their team.

Based in the Philadelphia area and serving clients worldwide, Rob met Sheereen during breakfast at a leadership learning event for his client, a global entertainment company. She reconnected after attending an Influence Inside workshop with our thought leader partner Kelly Dozois of Ocean Beach Consulting that Rob had arranged. She said the workshop deepened her understanding of active listening and its value in building trust and achieving alignment, and she wanted to know more.

In the podcast, they go deeper on how Influence Inside helps people establish common ground and communicate more effectively, especially with stakeholders and others with whom you need to influence, align, or gain support.

They also look ahead to the role of artificial intelligence in the workplace. Rob shared insights into how AI can enhance productivity, decision-making, and collaboration—while emphasizing the continued importance of human connection as AI in learning & development takes those experiences to new levels.

Don't miss her random questions at the end on the book he thinks everyone should read, a song he thinks everyone should listen to, and a piece of advice from his mother, father or mentor that he still carries with him today!
