HRchat Podcast Building Better Organizations: ATD's Road Map for Talent Development with Mallory Flynn
Ever wondered what makes the Association for Talent Development (ATD) a key player in the world of HR and professional development? This episode pulls back the curtain as Bill Banham talks with Mallory Flynn, Content Manager for Career Development, Organization Development, and Talent Management Communities at ATD.
Mallory walks us through three game-changing conferences on the horizon. First, ATD International Conference & Expo in Washington DC (May 18-21), where thousands of learning professionals from over 80 countries will converge to exchange ideas and build relationships. With headliners like Olympic champion Simone Biles and marketing visionary Seth Godin, plus a dedicated Career Center offering free resume coaching and ICF sessions, it's an event talent professionals won't want to miss.
Bill and Mallory also explore ATD's first-ever Coaching Conference (August 20-21), a virtual event specifically designed to help professionals launch, build, and scale coaching programs within their organizations. Featuring insights from Salesforce, Panasonic Energy, and UC Berkeley, attendees will discover how to make the business case for coaching and establish frameworks for program success. And yes, we dive into the AI question – how will artificial intelligence transform coaching while preserving the irreplaceable human element?
The conversation shifts to the OrgDev Conference in Houston (October 20-22), ATD's premier event for organizational development professionals tackling culture, talent strategy, and leadership development. Mallory also highlights a free online Leadership Development Day coming June 9th, featuring real-world case studies from major organizations.
What truly shines through is Mallory's passion for ATD's community – a network of professionals dedicated to mutual growth and knowledge-sharing. As she puts it, "I've never been as well connected to such a huge network of individuals who just want to help out." Whether you're an HR professional, talent developer, or organizational leader, this episode offers valuable insights into how ATD's events and community can elevate your professional journey.
