  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!

  Join us for this special interactive (and reflective) workshop.

  Whether we’re working with teams, clients, or leaders, we are tasked with continuously navigating uncertain and complex relationships.

  Our world is complex by nature, yet our nature as a human being is also complex. The good news is we are perfectly suited to live and thrive in this complexity. In this fast-paced, interconnected, and uncertain world, we often unwittingly fall into mind traps that result in us feeling stuck, or worse, taking action that is in the opposite direction from what the situation calls for.

  By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

  • identify five pervasive mind traps and ways to escape them
  • examine your own mind traps
  • identify habits to avoid mind traps altogether
  • describe ways to lead with clarity, purpose and compassion

  Intended Audience:

  • Anyone who wants to develop their cognitive skills by taking different perspectives
  • Anyone who wants to explore how we make sense of the world as an interconnected whole
  • Anyone who wants to refine their decision making skills
  • Anyone interested in interested in unlocking their own potential

  Julie Gefroh, owner of Golden Thread Coaching, provides developmental and somatic 1:1 coaching; she also offers learning programs in the art of navigating our inner complexity. Through her programs, participants uncover innate resourcefulness and creativity, opening fresh ways to respond to the complexity and challenges of work and life.

  Julie spent two decades working in the athletic and outdoor industries in international sales and operations, the last six in the tech sector managing Customer Success teams, and as an internal coach and leadership development facilitator. With a long history of environmental and sustainability focus, she also assists companies in navigating the complexity of pursuing B Corp certification. In her free time, she enjoys many hobbies, including dancing, cooking, hiking, camping, and mushroom hunting, and is always reading multiple books simultaneously.

  What can battle the dark shadow of disengaged learners? The light of learning games! 

  Combining play with learning creates a more engaging—and effective--learning experience. Game-based learning can meet most business needs, most audiences, and even modest budgets. Want to see how?

  Join us on a quest to practice a game-based approach to the learning needs you’re trying to solve. It’s your chance to work in a facilitated, small group of peers. Together, you’ll experiment with game elements that support your learning objectives. For example, you might design game elements for: 

  • Collaborative group activities

  • Personalized eLearning 

  • Immersive scenario challenges

  
  
  

  HOW IT WORKS

  Registration includes both 90-minute sessions, along with summary notes and resources. 

  • Session 1 (May 15th) = Break into small, facilitated groups to analyze what makes an effective game and to use those principles in a design of your own game. 

  • Session 2 (May 22nd) = Follow our framework to plan a game design and then share it with the other groups. 

  
  

  WHAT YOU’LL GAIN
  

  
  

  • Guidance from our experienced facilitators
  • New insights from new professional friends
  • Smiles and surprises 
  • Informational resources 
  • Practical examples
  • Workspace to collaborate on mini projects

  Don’t miss this unique chance to take your learning design to the next level!

  Note: This quest is eligible for Continuing Education credits toward APTD or CPTD certification.

  
  

  Target Audience: 
  

  • All L & D Professionals

  One registration for both sessions.
