  Don't Perform Together”

  
  

   About This Event

  

  As talent leaders and practitioners, we share a secret: Grouping together a bunch of high-performing individuals does not automatically lead to a high-performing team. So, why don’t we directly target insights at the team level to inform our talent development strategies? In this webinar panel discussion, we’ll explore why understanding both individual and team dynamics is essential for a well-rounded talent development strategy, and how generating data on performance at the team level gives us a whole new entry point to meaningfully influence organizational effectiveness. By the end of this session, participants will: Learn how collective leadership patterns emerge; Explore how team effectiveness can accelerate—or constrain—individual potential; and  Uncover how organizations can integrate individual and team-level insights to drive stronger organizational performance and results.

  Mid NJ Webinar Event | March 19, 2026, Thursday| 12:00 - 1:00 PM | Online MID NJ ATD PRESENTS   JOIN US FOR A DISCUSSION ABOUT... Debugging Human Communication:  Teach Collaboration, Communication, and Leadership Skills to Analytical, Skeptical, and Highly Technical Learners Most people-skill training fails for technical teams because the learners aren’t convinced it matters. Engineers, developers, architects, and analysts trust data, logic, and systems. Put them in a session on emotional intelligence and many disengage. It feels vague, subjective, and irrelevant to their work. Yet today’s workplace depends on the very skills they resist. Clear communication, collaboration, resilience, and navigating human complexity. The issue isn’t capability. It’s approach. In this session, Andrea Goulet shares a practical, science-based method for teaching communication, collaboration, and leadership to analytical, skeptical, highly technical audiences. Drawing on 20 years at the intersection of systems thinking, communication science, and software engineering, she explains why traditional soft-skill training falls flat and how to redesign it using structured, evidence-based frameworks that technical minds trust and apply. You’ll learn how to lower resistance, increase engagement, and translate human skills into measurable behaviors that show real ROI. You’ll walk away with: • 3 principles to reduce skepticism and create psychological safety • 2 common mistakes L&D teams make and the rule that prevents them • 1 simple formula to design credible, high-impact training for data-driven professionals Andrea Goulet Andrea Goulet helps scientific and technical people strengthen their communication through an experiment-driven approach rooted in systems thinking. Her work gives analytical minds a structured way to test, refine, and trust their communication skills in complex, real-world environments. Over the past 25 years, Andrea has co-founded and scaled a multimillion-dollar software company, built communication systems that generated billions in revenue, taught more than 100,000 learners worldwide, and delivered keynotes at conferences and companies around the globe. She specializes in translating complex human dynamics into practical tools technical minds can use to communicate clearly, influence effectively, and collaborate with confidence.

How Individual and Team Agency Enhance Organization Performance The workforce and workplace have changed dramatically, but a core need is often missing—individual and team agency. Join us to discuss this game-changing concept; explore how unleashing it can enhance job satisfaction, retention, effectiveness, and organization performance; and learn practical actions to foster and exercise agency at every level. Participants will leave this session able to: Understand how individual & team agency enhances organization performance and more fully exercise their own agency Demonstrate and role-model the mindsets and behaviors that create an agency-rich environment for everyone Apply the self assessment tool to measure the agency individuals exercise and uncover and clear barriers that block agency. Our presentation will cover: What agency is (and is not—dispelling misconceptions, confusion, and myths is important for creating sustainable behavior and mindset change) Why individual and team agency has such powerful and wide-reaching effects on everything from innovation to retention Actions organizations, leaders, supervisors, teams, and individuals can take to step more fully into their own agency and create an environment where the exercise of agency is supported, expected, and celebrated Dialogue with others to gain new perspectives Individual self-assessment instrument and organization diagnosis of agency practices and individual action planning as a result of that assessment This presentation is designed for people in any role and at any level. Attendees need only have an understanding of their own work experiences and perspectives that they can consider as they evaluate the degree to which they are able to exercise agency in their jobs (or the degree to which their work supports agency). We will share actions that can be immediately put into practice no matter where one sits in the organization.  Fred Miller Fred Miller is CEO of Kaleel Jamison Consulting, the oldest OD culture change firm.
