Transitioning into L&D Leadership Roles

Stepping into L&D leadership requires a shift from delivering content to driving results through others. Certified (CPCC) coach Candice Gouge will show you how to navigate this transition by mastering the "soft" skills that define a Director-level professional. You’ll explore how to flex your communication style for different personality types, use proven frameworks to pitch ideas to leadership with confidence, and lead meetings that actually get results. Through practical coaching scenarios and feedback models, you’ll leave with a toolkit for influencing stakeholders and leading your team with greater clarity and impact.

This session ties to the ATD Capability Model in the following areas:


  • Building Professional Capability
  • Networking and Partnering
