L&D that works

July felt like a pause between movements — a chance to catch our breath, reflect, and notice what had quietly taken root over the past few weeks. As we step into August, we wanted to share a few highlights from July, and the conversations that continue to shape our work.

Learning Transfer taster sessions: 1 June & 26 June

In June, we hosted two transfer taster sessions — one in-person and one virtual — and the reflections from those sessions continued to ripple through July.

Participants came from different backgrounds, but shared a common curiosity: how to make learning stick, and how to design for transfer in their own contexts. Some were exploring transfer for the first time; others were returning to the idea with fresh eyes.

What stayed with us was how transfer becomes richer when people experiment together, compare notes, and bring their own ingredients into the mix. It reminded us why we keep returning to this work.


Offbeat Sparks Hong Kong 2026: supporting organization

We’re grateful to continue as a supporting organization for Offbeat Sparks Hong Kong 2026.

Offbeat Sparks has always been a space where L&D professionals meet to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and spark new possibilities.

This year, we’re especially excited to be part of a growing community of practitioners who are shaping the future of learning & development in Hong Kong and beyond.

Partnership with Lingnan University & Open Call for Speakers

We are excited to partner with Lingnan University MScHROM (Human Resources and Organizational Management) to offer beautiful venue in M+ and we're doing an open call for speakers.

This is an invitation to anyone who have a story, insight, or experiment to share on L&D.

You don't need to have "L&D" in your title. We’re looking for voices that can spark conversation, not just deliver content.

We’ll be kicking off on LinkedIn Live on next Monday, 17 August to share more about the event, the theme, and what we’re looking for in speakers.

If you’ve ever thought about speaking at an L&D event, this is your nudge to consider it.

One of the quiet threads in our work is how we partner with clients as an extended L&D team.

For some organizations, this looks like co-designing workshops and programmes. For others, it’s helping internal teams structure, facilitate, and sustain learning initiatives that might otherwise sit on a shelf.

A recent partner described it this way:

“The Curioust didn’t just run a workshop — you helped us think through how learning & development fits into our bigger picture, and gave us a language to keep the conversation going.”

That, to us, is the heart of the work: enabling teams to move from one-off sessions to ongoing capability.


As we move into August, we’re carrying these reflections with us — and looking forward to the next set of conversations.

If any of this resonates, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s about Transfer, Offbeat Sparks, or simply a conversation about learning and development, our inbox is always open.

Warmly,
Amito Li
