Career Transition SIG
Virtual Office Hours

Office Hours are a dedicated, monthly informal space designed to support you as you move through your career transition journey alongside the Career Transition SIG. Think of these sessions as your time to get personalized guidance, ask questions, and make meaningful progress—with the support of both Magda and Rebecca and peers in the Learning & Development space.

During Office Hours, you can:

Get targeted feedback on your career portfolio materials (resume, LinkedIn, work samples)
Ask real-time questions about job searching, career direction, or challenges you’re facing
Receive coaching and guidance on applying session concepts (e.g., storytelling, interviewing, AI tools)
Work through roadblocks or uncertainty in a supportive, low-pressure environment
Build deeper connections with others navigating similar transitions
Practice your interviewing skills or strategic introduction

These sessions are intentionally flexible—drop in as needed, bring what you’re working on, or simply listen and learn from others. Whether you’re refining a deliverable, preparing for an interview, or just need a confidence boost, Office Hours are here to help you keep moving forward.

This is where ideas turn into action—and where you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Make Your Mark: Professional Presence for Talent Development Professionals
Virtual Event

As learning and talent development professionals, we spend much of our time helping others grow, build skills, and achieve their career goals. Yet many of us struggle to intentionally manage our own professional presence and visibility.

Whether you're exploring a career transition, pursuing a new opportunity, building your professional network, or seeking greater influence in your current role, your professional presence shapes how others perceive your credibility, expertise, and potential. It is reflected in how you communicate, build relationships, contribute to the profession, and engage both in person and online.

In this interactive session, participants will explore the key elements of professional presence, assess their current professional brand, and identify practical strategies to increase visibility, strengthen credibility, and position themselves for career growth within the learning and talent development profession.

Join us on July 30, 2026, to discover how intentional actions can help you build trust, expand your network, and ensure your expertise is recognized and remembered throughout your career journey.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Identify the key elements of professional presence and how they influence credibility, visibility, and career opportunities within the learning and talent development profession.
Assess their current professional brand across communication, relationships, digital presence, and professional contributions.
Apply practical strategies to strengthen their professional presence, expand their network, and position themselves for career growth and leadership opportunities.

Pages & Progress (Virtual Book Club): Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (Fri, August 14, 2026)

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (Robert Ciadini)
Pages & Progress - A No-Pressure Virtual Book Club for Learning Pros

A guilt-free book club for busy L&D professionals who love learning but are drowning in their to-do lists. We meet quarterly on Fridays at Noon to discuss development books - read (or listen) to the whole thing, skim a chapter, or just show up for the conversation. No judgment, just great discussions, peer networking, and actionable insights you can take back to your work. Progress over perfection, always. Books are selected based on the ATD Talent Capability Model.

This quarter we'll read Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Ciadini.

In the new edition of this highly acclaimed bestseller, Robert Cialdini—New York Times bestselling author of Pre-Suasion and the seminal expert in the fields of influence and persuasion—explains the psychology of why people say yes and how to apply these insights ethically in business and everyday settings. Using memorable stories and relatable examples, Cialdini makes this crucially important subject surprisingly easy. With Cialdini as a guide, you don’t have to be a scientist to learn how to use this science.

Pages & Progress (Virtual Book Club): The Power of Moments (Fri, November 13, 2026)

Fri, 13 Nov 2026 18:00:00 GMT

The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact (Chip & Dan Heath)
Pages & Progress - A No-Pressure Virtual Book Club for Learning Pros

This quarter we'll read The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact by Chip and Dan Heath.

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth.

Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?)

Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.
