    Are you looking for a friendly and collaborative opportunity for knowledge sharing? Join other Talent Development professionals for our Free ATD-Cascadia’s Learning over Lunch series. 

    This month we’ll be discussing group coaching and more specifically the incredible impact peers have within these groups. Have you thought about or implemented group coaching in your organization? What have you learned? What questions do you have as you consider group coaching?

    This virtual discussion group is offered every third Thursday of the month from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. We will explore current trends and topics through small group discussions based on a shared resource, article, video, or podcast selected by a chapter member. We invite you to bring your ideas, experience, or questions to what we hope will be engaging sessions! 


    Pre work for the April session: 

    Please read about this article on the Impact of Peers in Group Coaching

    Details 

    Please come prepared to be on video (if possible) and participate in small group discussions about being a learning advisor or order-taker.

    • This month’s discussion topic is coaching.

    • Zoom Access information will be sent via email prior to the program.
