Note from the President:

I was glad to see so many of you at the FM Global Learning Center event. What a remarkable facility. It is important as professionals that we keep ourselves up to date with technology and content. We are in an ever-changing field, and we must remain relevant.

This month CMATD is pleased to offer a variety of ways to do just that. We have a blog entry from Linda StJohn on Millennial Leaders; our Leadership SIG event, Leading Virtual Teams, featuring Stefanie Heiter; and our evening event with Emmy Monticelli, who will facilitate a workshop on Coaching Leaders at EANE (Employers Association of the North East) our second location for evening events. 

And last, don’t miss out on our “3-2-Won!” raffle. Attend 2 of our 3 evening events this and be entered into a raffle to win a registration to a local ATD education program, valued at $595-$1795. Good luck and I hope to see you soon.



I look forward to seeing you soon.


Thank You,

Dyan Madrey

President, CMATD

It’s Not all Fun and Games: Millennial Leaders are Just Like Us, But Different in Positive Ways

 by Linda StJohn 


Millennials have gotten a very bad rap in the workplace.

But are they really all that different from previous generations of young people? Did GenXers have different workplace norms or work aspirations? What about the Boomers?

Those of us in the business of hiring and retaining talented Millennials need to consider whether their behavior is a function of the decade in which they were born, or simply part of a normal life stage. Either way, employers can’t simply ride it out.

In the coming years, every leadership role will be filled by a member of this generation. Their influence will be felt for decades. It’s incumbent on us to understand this new generation of leaders and find out how to recruit and retain them.

A 2017 study conducted by The Conference Board and DDI, is one of the first to compare Millennial leaders to those in older generations. They examined 2,800 leaders in 14 companies and determined Millennial leaders are not distinctly different from those of earlier generations, and in fact, the results look promising!

Here are 3 debunked “Millennial Myths”: Read more

When High-Performance Dreams Become Training Nightmares

Thursday, October 12, 2–3 pm ET

Can Mindfulness Reboot Diversity and Inclusion

Thursday, October 26, 2–3 pm ET

In this webcast, Marjorie Derven of the HUDSON Research & Consulting and Chris Altizer of Altizer Performance Partners will discuss how D&I can be enhanced through mindfulness
