Join three talent development executives as they examine L&D’s many conflicting perspectives about the topic of change. During this 90-minute interactive session, you will discuss the definition of change, its purpose, and why it keeps coming up as one of the resounding challenges TD leaders grapple with. Panelists will discuss what it takes to “normalize change” and become more comfortable and less fatigued with its constant presence in our businesses and lives.
Come prepared to learn from your peers as you participate in breakout discussions about how to approach change with a sense of empowerment and future readiness.
