    Getting Comfortable with the Uncomfortable in L&D Measurement

    Many learning practitioners fail to tap into the power of analytics because of their discomfort with one or more elements associated with the measurement and evaluation process.  This session will review topics like ROI, benchmarks, self-reported data, impact indictors, negative data, low impact learners, NPS, AI, and roughly reasonable.  The goal is to dispel the myths behind these and make what is considered uncomfortable to many comfortable and confident to all.

    We’ll cover:

    • How to identify measurement areas holding us back and overcome them
    • Speak with more confidence and comfort around measurement
    • Engage and Empower others through measurement

    Whether you're working with strict brand standards or just tired of cookie-cutter eLearning, this session will give you the tools and inspiration to make Rise work harder (and look better) for your learners.

    This session ties to the ATD Capability Model in all three (3) of the areas:

    • Professional
    • Personal
    • Organizational

    Join us for Create With Canva – Unlock Your Creative Potential, a dynamic and inspiring one-hour webinar designed specifically for learning and development professionals. In this energetic session, you’ll discover how to elevate your training materials, presentations, and communication pieces using Canva’s intuitive, versatile design tools. You’ll learn practical tips, creative techniques, and time-saving workflows that help you transform everyday content into engaging, polished visuals—no formal design experience needed.

    As the designer behind many of the ATD Chapter’s graphics and visual media, I’ll take you on a rare “behind-the-curtain” look at how these materials are created. You’ll see exactly how I build graphics from scratch using Canva’s manual design features, as well as how I incorporate Canva’s AI capabilities to accelerate the process, spark creativity, and streamline the final product.

    Whether you're looking to enhance your course visuals, refresh your slide decks, or simply become more confident in your design skills, this session will give you fresh ideas, insider tips, and ready-to-use strategies you can immediately apply to your own L&D projects.

    Don’t miss this chance to boost your creativity, upgrade your visual communication, and see firsthand how Canva can elevate the impact of your work. Register today and unlock your design potential!
