Ep 236: Dr. Annepaul Vemagiri - Training is A Competency
Episode 236: Training is a Competency, Not a Department – with Dr. Annepaul Vemagiri
In this episode of The Limitless Podcast with Nick Jonsson, we welcome Dr. Annepaul Vemagiri, Assistant Vice President of Learning & Development at Atmosphere Core, to explore a powerful shift in the way we view professional growth — training as a leadership competency, not just an HR function.
Dr. Annepaul shares how organizations can reimagine learning and development as an integral part of leadership, embedded within the culture rather than isolated in a department. She emphasizes that learning should not be confined to formal training programs but should instead be woven into daily workflows, conversations, and decision-making processes.
Drawing from her extensive experience in hospitality and professional development, Dr. Annepaul provides actionable insights on how leaders can turn ordinary moments into learning opportunities. She encourages executives to adopt a mindset of continuous development, where growth and innovation become shared responsibilities across every level of an organization.
Throughout the discussion, Nick and Dr. Annepaul explore how cultivating this mindset not only improves performance but also strengthens employee engagement, retention, and adaptability — key drivers of long-term organizational success. Dr. Annepaul highlights how leaders who model curiosity and prioritize development create teams that are empowered, resilient, and ready to face change head-on.
This episode is a must-listen for leaders, HR professionals, and L&D experts seeking to foster learning-driven cultures that thrive in a constantly evolving business environment.
