Jolynn Ledgerwood is the founder of Elevate Your Talent and host of the Play for Performance podcast. When she was diagnosed with a learning disability in nursing school, she made a courageous pivot to build a thriving career in corporate learning and development, moving from hospitality to cybersecurity and eventually launching her own business.

In our conversation, we explored how her early challenges shaped her approach to training. Jolynn is passionate about making learning accessible and effective for everyone, and she brings a refreshing level of creativity into her work — including a powerful, hands-on methodology called LEGO® Serious Play®. Yes, she uses LEGO® bricks to unlock deeper thinking, enhance team collaboration, and drive strategic breakthroughs.

We talked about how to design truly inclusive learning environments, how sensory tools can deepen engagement and retention, and what it takes to sell a transformative — but unconventional — approach to skeptical business leaders.
