Michael F D Anaya (Palo Alto Networks) - Building a Learning Culture (Part 1)

My guest this week is Michael Anaya, Head of Attack Surface Analysis at Cortex by Palo Alto Networks.

Michael and I connected a while back and I was fascinated by both his background as an FBI special agent and the challenge facing him in his current role as he implements a vision for his team.

I proposed an idea. Michael is looking to build a successful learning culture, provide dynamic learning experiences for his team, and double the size of his team over the next six months.

I said, why don’t you come on the podcast, talk about your plans, and then let’s check back in in six months and see what worked, what didn’t, and what you learned. And Michael was up for it, for which I am extremely grateful!

We discuss

how Michael draws on his experience using empathy in interrogations as an FBI agent in his current role,
why empowering individuals is crucial to team success,
and Michael’s plans to use culture to scale effectively.

About the Podcast

SureSkills Learn to Grow Podcast

When change is inevitable, learning and growth are essential.

The Learn to Grow Podcast is an anecdotal look at the learning landscape aimed at L&D and HR professionals. I interview leaders in learning about their experience first-hand in the world of learning and development helping people and organizations reach their potential. We discuss top trends including learning technology, the role of learning cultures, and the foundations of a successful learning experience.

We believe learning and growth are intertwined, both for individuals and organizations. Individuals learn to grow within their roles, careers, and personal lives. Organizations' learning programs are now major contributors to business success, helping them attract and retain top talent, upskill and reskill, and adapt to the inevitable changes the future will bring. In this podcast, we speak to leaders in the learning and development industry about the learning landscape.
