Many of us end up in the L&D field quite by accident, finding our way onto a training team because of our deep subject matter expertise, our writing or facilitation skills, our technical chops, or some other creative talent that was needed to support training content development. So now that you’re here, working in this space, where can you go next? Hint: the opportunities are almost endless. We’ll explore ATD’s Talent Development Capability Model, consider the four pieces of Cammy’s “Learning Pie”, and get you thinking about where your skills shine and the directions in which you want to grow. We’ll consider all the places training happens – the types of organizations, departments, and projects. Whether you are exploring your own career path in L&D or leading a team of L&D practitioners with an eye to their future development, together we'll create a clearer vision on direction and heading for what’s next as we chart a course into the vast and unknown future of talent development.
Change is ever-present in the L&D space. To support the development of those who work in L&D, we'll review the plentitude of skills and areas which L&D practitioners put to work every day. This will provide a view on how we can develop our own skills and also those we work with and lead.
Important Note: 90 minute session with no separate networking period.
