  ATD Dallas October L&D SIG

  Hosted by Laurie Barnett & Melissa Greer

  
  

  
  

  
  

  October 6, 2023/12:00pm-1:30pm CST

  Facilitator: Matt Gjertsen

  
  

  BRIEF DESCRIPTION
  

  
  

  Most learning interventions fail because they focus on facts and ideas instead of practical changes in behavior. If we want to change behavior, we need to focus on how the brain decides what action to take and then design a course with that in mind. This interactive session will help participants design training that uses the three essential ingredients for behavior change: specificity, connection, and context.

  
  

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  
  

  1. Clearly identify specific outcomes for your training.

  2. Create connections in the brain using repetition and emotion.

  3. Give context for learners so they put what they have learned to use.

  
  

  ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

  
  

  

  
  

  Matt Gjertsen is the founder and Chief Learning Officer of Better Every Day Studios, a consultancy focused on helping small learning teams make a big impact. He began his instructional career in the United States Air Force as an Instructor Pilot, after which he became Manager of Training and Development for SpaceX and has gone on to work with numerous start-ups across multiple industries.

  Vertical Development: The Key to Transformational Leadership Development

  
  

  Tuesday, October 17, 2023/ 11:30am-1:00pm CST

  Facilitator: Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D

  
  

  BRIEF DESCRIPTION
  

  
  

  75% of organizations rated their leadership development programs as not very effective and 71% of organizations do not feel their leaders are able to lead their organizations into the future (BrandonHall Group, 2015). These statistics suggest that typical and traditional leadership development efforts are not currently meeting the demands of today's leaders. A new approach is needed. In this session, Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D., and Wall-Street Journal best-selling author, will introduce what vertical development is, how it differs from traditional horizontal development efforts, and how you can employ vertical development in your organization to transformationally elevate your leaders.

  
  

  ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

  
  

  Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D. is a cutting-edge leadership development author, researcher, and consultant. He helps organizations vertically develop their leaders primarily through a focus on mindsets. Ryan is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of Success Mindsets: The Key to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership and The Elevated Leader: Leveling Up Your Leadership Through Vertical Development. He is also a leadership professor at the College of Business and Economics at California State University-Fullerton.

  ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

  
  

  Vulnerability is all too often engineered out of today’s work cultures, in a bid to make employees more efficient and less susceptible to emotions—but brave leaders who have the courage to allow vulnerability are essential to thriving work cultures. Dare to Lead breaks down the four courage-building skills that make up brave leadership, so that you can create an organization that takes risk, uncertainty, and failure in stride. You’ll learn how to lead your team in engaging with vulnerability, acting with integrity, having more productive and honest conversations, and moving on quickly from failure—skills that will allow your work culture to meet today’s ever-increasing innovative and creative demands.

  Tech for the Rest of Us: AI and LLM Foundations

  
  

  November 10, 2023/ 12:00pm-1:30pm CST

  Facilitator: Donna Herbel, Founder and Learning Strategist of Blue Phoenix Learning

  
  

  BRIEF DESCRIPTION
  

  
  

  Have you experimented with ChatGPT, Perplexity, Midjourney, or other Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhancements, but aren’t sure how to apply these tools in your daily work? Have you been using AI tools, and wish you better understood how to make them work for you? Have you begun using new tools and platforms, but been left frustrated or confused because you aren’t sure where to start? You are not alone. Rapid advancements in technology have added to workplace overwhelm as new solutions and platforms have added complexity and an additional learning curve for leaders and their teams.

  
  

  We are past the inflection point of AI. A team of researchers from OpenAI, OpenResearch, and the University of Pennsylvania recently published that roughly 80% of all workers will be affected or influenced by AI developments.

  
  

  Now, leaders are challenged with leveraging this important technology to improve current and future training and content strategies and bring the benefits of quality and efficiency into their organizations.

  
  

  This session shares AI and LLM principles and case studies of applications, demonstrates solutions in action, and provides strategy considerations to apply these principles to current and future work.

  
  

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  
  

  Participants will:

  • Understand the background of AI, and how it has already been quietly applied in our daily work.
  • Learn case studies of application and discuss how these experiences can be applied in their own organizations.
  • Experience platforms in action in content development, asset development, and workplace efficiencies
  • Take away simple strategies to leverage AI resources to improve content quality while reducing development time.
