“No Thank You”: Setting Healthy Boundaries as a Woman with Bela Gaytan
From The Women of Learning and Development Conference 2023
Let’s be real: boundaries for men and women are viewed very differently by society. When men set boundaries, they are heralded as strong, logical, or confident. Why is it that when women do the same, they are labeled as difficult, troublesome, or emotional?
In this session, you will learn the importance of healthy boundaries at work and in your personal life using real-life examples. You’ll discover how to convey your boundaries confidently to others. Finally, you’ll come away from the session with a framework designed by Bela to help you determine what your boundaries are.

I've been lucky enough to talk with Alison Sollars a couple of times now, and I'm consistently impressed by her journey to L&D and her path ahead. With a truly diverse background, it's no surprise that she's found herself in our world of instructional design and is making the most of it.
So in this latest Member Showcase, you'll find lots to learn from Alison's journey. With experience in teaching, HR, project management, and lots more, Alison has been able to take a little bit of everything she's learned from the past and apply it to what she's doing now as an instructional designer in healthcare.
And make sure you connect with her on Linkedin or find her at TPLD. You'll be glad you did.

By incorporating inclusive design principles into our assessment structure, content, and concepts, we stand a better chance of getting the right information in and developing what meets the needs of those we are serving. This session will cover some of the problems around inclusivity we may encounter in assessment design, and how we solve for them.

Examining Unconscious Bias and How It Affects What We Create with Bridget K Brown
From IDEAL22: The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility for Learning Conference
Unconscious or implicit bias is part of the human condition. But these, of course, are the biases that we don’t know we have, which can cause harm to others--even when it was not our intention. How did these biases get there? And more importantly, how do we work to bring awareness to them so that they do not end up in the learning design we create?
