  About This Event

  
  

  Because being good at your job isn't
  enough—learn how to be indispensable.

  Many believe that accumulating knowledge and skills are the keys to job success, while missing the critical role of trustworthiness in taking their professional game to the next level. Trust, even though you can't see it, critically influences how you are perceived, how your reputation evolves, and how successful you become in both your career and life.

  During this session, we will tackle whether trust should be earned or given, explore how to turn the six elements of trust into daily actions, learn to avoid six pitfalls that undermine trust, and understand how to repair trust, especially when your trust has been broken. This action-packed presentation will give you techniques that you can apply immediately on the job.

Professional Development Practices or Techniques The Hidden Costs of Self-Doubt – How Imposter Syndrome is an Organizational Crisis with 70% of people, especially high achievers, struggling with imposter syndrome. And it costs businesses about $3,400 on lost productivity per employee each year, according to Intuit Mint. Imposter syndrome isn’t just an individual confidence issue—it’s a leadership and organizational crisis. Leaders who struggle with self-doubt second-guess decisions, hesitate to take action, and undermine their own authority. This results in a productivity drain, increased turnover, and a culture of overwork. When high-potential employees don’t feel “good enough,” they disengage, burn out, or leave, costing companies top talent and innovation. The EMBRACE framework—Empathy, Mindset, Brand, Resilience, Authority, Capabilities, and Effectiveness—offers a blueprint for developing leaders who can inspire, engage, and drive results while supporting a transformative culture. This session will expose the unseen costs of impostor syndrome in leadership and provide talent development professionals with strategies to maximize individual performance, build effective leaders who can inspire trust and engagement, and drive organizational performance.

His EMBRACE framework—focusing on Empathy, Mindset, Brand, Resilience, Authority, Capabilities, and Effectiveness—empowers leaders to break through self-doubt, enhance their influence, and inspire high-performance teams. With certifications in DISC, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation (FIRO-B), John provides organizations with tailored leadership development strategies that drive real results.

  “The Great Knowledge Acceleration: Bridging Generations in the AI Era”

  About This Event

  

  Talent development professionals stand at a critical inflection point, where preserving human expertise in learning and development is as crucial as embracing AI innovation.

  With digital natives (Gen Z and Millennials) representing over two-thirds of the workforce in 2025 and experienced L&D professionals reaching retirement age daily, the transformation challenges facing talent development are unprecedented. Yet few organizations feel truly prepared to address this challenge -- creating both urgency and opportunity to revolutionize how we amplify learning excellence.

  Join Future of Work expert Luke Goetting to explore how talent development leaders can harness the convergence of generational transition, human intelligence, and AI capabilities to become catalysts for extraordinary learning outcomes. Through practical case studies and immediately applicable frameworks focused on L&D, you'll discover:

  • How leading organizations are turning potential knowledge loss into accelerated innovation for better learning experiences
  • Ways to leverage both human expertise and AI to scale learning and development wisdom across teams while maintaining the personal touch that makes training impactful
  • Proven techniques for fostering meaningful cross-generational collaboration between instructional designers, facilitators, and subject matter experts that increase retention and performance
  • Strategies to capture critical institutional knowledge about training methodologies, learning paths, and successful program execution before it walks out the door
  • Methods to empower early-career L&D professionals while honoring experienced perspectives on what makes learning truly transformative

  This isn't just about traditional knowledge management -- it's about creating a dynamic ecosystem that propels talent development success in an era of unprecedented technological change. Whether you're an L&D executive looking to leave a lasting legacy, a mid-career professional building bridges between training teams, or an emerging talent development leader seeking to accelerate your impact, you'll gain actionable insights to enhance your leadership journey.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Implement ready-to-use strategies for cross-generational knowledge sharing that work in today's hybrid learning environments
  2. Design effective skill-swap initiatives and mentoring programs that align with ATD's Talent Development Capability Model
  3. Learn how to thoughtfully integrate AI tools to enhance (not replace) human expertise in learning design and delivery
  4. Create sustainable knowledge-sharing practices through innovative team structures and programs that benefit both L&D professionals and learners
  5. Develop approaches for building psychological safety and trust across generational divides in talent development

  This highly interactive session provides practical tools that talent development professionals can apply immediately to their learning programs and organizations. With both technological disruption and workforce transformation accelerating faster than ever in L&D, the time to act is now.
