President's Message | ||||||
I had the pleasure of attending the ATD International Conference and Expo for the first time this year. My experience in one word: WOW! What a spectacular week of learning and growing! I came home with practical ideas I can implement right away, as well as nuggets for me to think on for weeks to come. I grew personally and was inspired professionally. There was SO MUCH packed into that week of learning. If you are considering it for next year, I cannot recommend it enough! Were you there? Was your experience similar to mine? Did you miss it and want to know more? This month, we are hosting a virtual chapter meeting called “Breaking the ICE: Innovations and Inspiration from the 2018 ATD International Conference and Expo”. This evening virtual session will be fast-paced and features a chance to hear highlights and insights from favorite sessions, open Q&A and an opportunity for networking. If you attended ICE and have a favorite session, please use this form and submit your request to share during this unique event. We are better when we share and learn together. And speaking of excellent conferences and learning opportunities - our Workplace Learning Conference will be here before we know it! Mark your calendar for Thursday, October 4th and plan for a day of networking, connecting and challenging your mind as we talk about Innovation for Success: Honing Your Competitive Edge. Have something to share? Submit an RFP here before June 30, 2018. June boasts many learning opportunities for ATD Puget Sound. Two chapter meetings, our first Allied Professionals Virtual Networking Night, a 30 minute ENGAGE! Webinar and three Special Interest Groups to choose from. Check out our calendar for more info. How will you engage, learn, develop and grow with us in 2018? Erin Clarke President |

To Infinity and Beyond: Expanding Meeting Opportunities | ||||||
There’s a cliché about those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest: we measure distance in time, not miles. Heavy traffic and ongoing road construction continues to try our patience as we travel to meetings and events. Anyone who has been driving on I-5 through the Seattle area lately knows all too well that it could take you the same amount of time to drive to Bellevue as it does to drive to Portland. To overcome the challenges of distance and time that affects both our members and guests to experience all the benefits of ATDps, we are expanding the options for chapter meetings and interest groups that reach a wider audience. For example, in addition to our Seattle chapter meeting location on Mercer Island, last fall we added the South Sound chapter meeting location for those in the Tacoma/Lakewood/Olympia area. And now, we are excited to announce more ways our members and potential new members can get together!
You’ll be hearing more news about these new venues and groups as they launch in the weeks and months to come. I hope you’re as excited as I am to see our chapter engagement grow and expand throughout Washington, providing more opportunities for our members to get together with each other. If you’re interested in volunteering to support these new venues, please contact me or any member of the Board. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming chapter meeting soon! Warmly, Marie Tjernlund |

EVENT DESCRIPTION Have you noticed how some conversations we engage in create a sense of fear, doubt or trepidation, or leave us with a mixture of emotions like distrust, hurt and or anger? What if you could learn how to create conversations that foster trust, connection and candor with colleagues, in training sessions and teams? Conversational IntelligenceÒ is a science-based, replicable methodology that that teaches us to harness the chemistry of language to have productive, healthy conversations, even in the most challenging situations.

Volunteer of the Month | ||||||
We would like to congratulate our volunteer of the month, Sarah Schillen. Sarah has been a member since 2014 and became a volunteer in January of 2016 as our Evaluations Coordinator. She has been an asset to a somewhat fragmented Research area. She identified the needs of the organization and streamlined the process on how we disseminate evaluations and consume the results. She is a strategic thinker, setting in place processes that will give us insight over time. In the past, every survey was it's own; results were fragmented and siloed. Sarah devised a way to take survey data for our Workplace Learning Conference and share the results with individual presenters. As we all know, feedback is paramount for any presenter/trainer. She consistently attends local and national events and is always an ATD promoter by recruiting several members. Thank you, Sarah, for your work and passion for ATD Puget Sound. We appreciate you! |
