Join Me at TLDC in January, 2018!
Last year, I was honored to join the team for the first
T
raining, Learning and Development Conference (TLDC). This innovative conference is built around learning best practices, so you can come back from the conference refreshed, with new neural pathways already firing from new connections, new insights and the time to absorb and reflect. This year, I'm proud to support the planning of our next "unconference" in January. It will be based right in my hometown - Phoenix, AZ. Watch for more news soon and join the TLDC community to stay in touch with fellow learning professionals.
