Do you want to learn more about the field of talent development, elements of the career, and strategies for success? 

Over and over, our members tell us that learning from each other is one of the most valuable parts of joining ND ATD. We have elevated that benefit through members-only peer mentoring groups. 

What is a peer mentoring group? 
A peer mentoring group meets regularly (approximately once/month) over a virtual platform. Discussion centers around a specific topical areas of talent development. 

Who leads the discussion? 
Discussion is informal. Knowledge and experiences are shared by all. Each group has a volunteer "conversation catalyst" who helps to coordinate and get the conversation started. If you are interested in becoming a conversation catalyst or would like more information on becoming a conversation catalyst in the future please let us know!

What are the topical groups? 
The next round of groups will begin meeting April 2025 and will run through November 2025.

• Training Delivery and Facilitation: This peer mentoring group will be a collaborative space for members to refine their skills and knowledge about leading effective training sessions. Participants will share best practices, offer feedback, and discuss creating and facilitating engaging and impactful learning experiences. Learn from others about techniques for delivering content, managing group dynamics, and adapting to different learning styles. 

• Career Pathing and Leadership Development: The Career Pathing and Leadership Development peer mentoring group topics will range from fostering employee growth, leadership development best-practices, employee skill development, and fostering long-term organizational success.
