Community Of Practice (COP) Leading Change
New in 2025, ND ATD is adding Community of Practice (COP) quarterly meetings to our event calendar. Register to attend the first meet-up of the Leading Change COP hosted by Kristi Schultz.
Change is one of life’s few constants, yet it often feels overwhelming, uncertain, or maybe exciting. Whether it’s a personal journey or a career shift, transitions impact every aspect of our lives. But how do we navigate these moments? What strategies enable us to adapt? How do transitions shape our identity, relationships, and perspectives?
Join us in person as we explore how transitions affect us. This will be a space to share your experiences, learn from others, and discover practical ways to navigate the challenges and opportunities that change brings. Together, we’ll reflect on how transitions can inspire growth, build resilience, and lead to unexpected opportunities.
