Powertable: Cultivate Creative Thinking for the Future At Work (09/23/2026)

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Demand for creative thinking is currently outpacing supply. Despite that need, creative thinking is one of the skills most lacking in job candidates. The good news is that creative thinking is a trainable skill.

In the September 2025 issue of TD at Work, Gerard J. Puccio and Pamela A Szalay explain the nature of creativity and present six strategies to enhance creative thinking.

We're facilitating this session using a virtual roundtable approach.

During this discussion, we'll:

brainstorm ways you can practice enhancing your creative thinking
link the author's suggested opportunities to pair creative thinking with artificial intelligence with the work you do

Join us September 23, 2026 to share your thoughts and connect with your L&D peers as you discuss methods for enhancing your instructional design capability!

PowerTable Format:

For each PowerTable session, ATD-Orange County Board members will facilitate the discussion around a designated TD at Work issue.

During our roundtable discussion, each attendee will be encouraged to share their insights on the given TD at Work topic.

All ideas are welcome. Your thoughts are encouraged.

Do you need to be a Power Member to attend?

Not really. But it helps. The TD at Work issue being discussed is $19.95 without an ATD National membership.

What is "TD at Work?"

Order the issue HERE, and remember to use our Chapter Code CH8091 at checkout!

Or join ATD National, and get access to the entire library of TD at Work issues for free! And if you are an OC chapter member, you save $40 off membership. Call ATD National at 1.800.628.2783 and tell them you are an Orange County chapter member to get the discount. And give them our Chapter Code CH8091.

Own Your Story: Building a Standout L&D Portfolio - Career Transition SIG (09/24/2026)

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 01:30:00 GMT

If you're looking to transition into an L&D role, figuring out what belongs in a portfolio can be harder than building one.

What counts?
What do you do with work you can't share?
How do you show transferable experience without just listing everything you've ever done?
Once you've figured out what you have, how do you decide what your portfolio should actually look like?

When Michelle Deshotels started building her own portfolio, she thought the hard part would be the website. It wasn't. The real work was identifying what she had done, capturing it before she forgot it, and organizing it so she could see what she actually had. Once she understood the work, she then decided what belonged, what didn't, and how she wanted to share it.

In this 90-minute virtual session, Michelle will use her portfolio journey as a real-world example to help you look at your own work differently.

We'll explore how to:

Recognize portfolio-worthy work, including work you can't share directly.
Show the skills and thinking behind what you've done, rather than simply listing the work.
Decide how to present different kinds of work, letting the work help determine the format.
Bring your own voice into your portfolio, while maintaining professional credibility.

This isn't about copying a website or following one portfolio formula.

Your work won't look the same, so your portfolio shouldn't either.

By the end of the session, you’ll:

Identify what to include: Evaluate existing work, projects, and transferable experience to identify evidence that demonstrates readiness for an L&D role.
Showcase L&D skills: Present selected work in a way that makes the skills, thinking, and value behind it visible rather than simply listing what was done.
Build with purpose: Make intentional choices about what to include and how to present it based on the work, the intended audience, and the career transition goal.
Balance authentic voice with professional credibility: Identify ways to bring personal voice into a portfolio while maintaining the credibility needed for a professional audience.

About the Presenter

Michelle Deshotels is a San Diego-based Learning & Development leader with 25 years across operations, performance, and technology, including 15+ years building learning systems, programs, and teams that change how people work. Her career spans financial services, healthcare, and professional services.

Michelle built her own professional portfolio from scratch, backing into it through the process of identifying what she'd actually built, what it demonstrated, and what was worth sharing. That experience became the foundation for tonight's session.

Her career includes Chase Auto Finance, MedImpact Healthcare Systems, and Kruze Consulting, where she built learning infrastructure, led enterprise learning initiatives, and most recently developed an organizational AI adoption program that reached 100% participation. She holds the ATD Master Instructional Designer, CPTM, and DDI Certified Facilitator credentials.

Beyond the AI Tunnel: The Adaptive Skills That Outlast Any Disruption (10/28/2026)

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace, prompting organizations to rethink everything from learning and leadership development to talent strategies and organizational design. Yet when one disruption dominates our attention, our perspective can unintentionally narrow.

As learning and talent leaders race to help their organizations adopt new technologies, other powerful shifts are unfolding at the same time. Expectations around leadership, trust, human connection, decision making, workforce dynamics, and continuous learning are evolving alongside technological change. Preparing people for the future requires more than keeping pace with new tools. It requires helping them develop the capacity to think differently in the face of uncertainty.

In this thought provoking keynote, Katie Rucker challenges participants to step beyond the "AI tunnel" and explore a broader view of what it truly means to be future ready. Drawing from the discipline of strategic foresight, she introduces practical ways to expand perspective, question assumptions, recognize patterns across seemingly unrelated trends, and make more intentional decisions in an increasingly interconnected world.

Rather than focusing on predicting the future, this session explores how learning and talent professionals can cultivate the adaptive ways of thinking that enable individuals, teams, and organizations to navigate whatever comes next.

Attendees will leave with practical ways to widen their perspective, navigate complexity with greater confidence, and help build a culture that is prepared for more than just the next technological advancement.

After this session, participants will be able to:

Recognize how dominant disruptions can unintentionally narrow strategic thinking.
Identify emerging shifts unfolding alongside technological change.
Explore five adaptive leadership capabilities that support long term navigation of uncertainty.
Use practical reflection questions to widen perspective before making strategic decisions.
Reframe future readiness as a disciplined way of thinking, not simply a response to the latest trend.

Why Employees Ignore Training (and How to Fix It) (11/18/2026)

Thu, 19 Nov 2026 02:00:00 GMT

Do your employees complete the training... and then go right back to doing things the way they always have?

You're not alone. And the problem might not be the employees.

Join us for a live, open conversation where L&D peers come together to tackle one of our profession's most persistent challenges: training that gets completed but doesn't actually change anything.

We'll kick things off by walking through a real-world case study to get us talking. It's the spark for an open, unscripted discussion where your experience, your frustrations, and your ideas are exactly what we're there to hear.

Here's what we'll be talking through together:

Why "page-turner" eLearning often checks a box but misses the point, and what we can do differently
How approaches like microlearning and other strategies that are Accessible, Convenient, and Short can change the way employees engage with learning
What makes content bingeable: designing learning that actually sticks, sparks curiosity, and keeps people coming back for more
How to design learning that fits into the flow of work rather than something employees have to stop working to endure
What it really takes to move beyond one-and-done training toward a culture where people want to keep learning

Cameras on, mics open, real talk welcome.

Think of it less like a webinar and more like a roundtable with your peers. No slides to sit through. No chat-box-only participation. Just a genuine back-and-forth among people who are asking the same questions you are.

Come ready to talk, listen, and leave with ideas you didn't walk in with.

About Your Facilitator

Diksha Carron has over 10 years of experience in talent acquisition, partnering with leaders to support employee development and create meaningful learning experiences. She is passionate about bringing professionals together to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another. Diksha is excited to facilitate this discussion on microlearning and other engaging, bite-sized training strategies, and looks forward to exploring new ideas and best practices with the group.

Learning and Development Trends and Strategies — 2027 (02/24/2027)

Thu, 25 Feb 2027 02:00:00 GMT

Under the backdrop of ATD's recent State of the Industry report, we discuss the Learning and Development trends that impact the strategic focus of local L&D leaders.

Each year, ATD's State of the Industry establishes consistent baselines for key performance indicators, including direct learning expenditure per employee, total formal learning hours, delivery channels, and trainer-to-employee staffing ratios.

But national L&D benchmarking reports rely heavily on data from large enterprise organizations with dedicated training budgets. Our local panelists bring clear visibility into what Orange County business owners actually invest in employee growth relative to operational overhead.

This month, our panelists will explore the latest trends that are reshaping L&D strategies. But more than that, we'll discuss how these trends are shaping their organization's strategies for the coming year.

You'll hear how they align learning initiatives with business goals, ensuring their organizations thrive in an ever-changing environment.
