    Develop Better Collaboration Through Strategic Silence!           

    Effective leaders collaborate, and people who collaborate more are viewed as leaders. The ability to collaborate requires leaders to encourage teamwork and respectful relationships. The best sign of a respectful relationship is getting all of the information out in the open so it can be discussed. In 1 on 1’s and in teams strategic silence can be used to gain more information and help the others come up with even better ideas. Even though T&D professionals are generally collaborative in nature, this program also provides the research that backs it up. This is great information to relay in your leadership trainings! Join Dr. Laura Janusik to learn and practice some of the basic skills of strategic silence.

    Laura Janusik is a dynamic trainer, coach, consultant, speaker and researcher. She is a worldwide  leading expert in teaching and training listening. She uses her MBA and PhD in Communication to help individuals and teams better align their communication through the Power of Listening. As a listening researcher herself for over 20 years, she is familiar with listening research from many disciplines and uses it liberally in her work. Her approach to communication, both verbal and nonverbal, is practical and other-centered and based on research.

    She is a past president of the International Listening Association, and she is published both nationally and internationally. You’ll find her research and ideas cited in publications including Forbes, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, and US News and World Report. In addition to education, Laura was in HR Managements in private industry for 15 years.

    Laura left academia after 20 years to bring the message of listening to a wider audience, and she loves working with business leaders and helping them understand and practice “being on the same page” with their teams. Laura often is brought in as a private coach for employees ranging from entry level to C-suite individuals with great technical skills but poor people skills.

    You can reach Laura through her website, Listening to Change or on LinkedIn.

    Build a Strategic Mindset

    In today's dynamic business landscape, strategic thinking has emerged as a crucial skill for leaders and teams to thrive. This thought-provoking presentation by Mary Rapaport, Chief Xceleration Officer, Strategist, and Strategy Coach at Xcelerate will equip talent development professionals with the tools and insights to create powerful development plans that foster strategic thinking within their organization.

    Accessibility for Online Learning

    This program is for everyone who designs, facilitates, or manages online learning programs, including elearning, webinars, virtual classrooms, websites, computer-based job aids, social media, anything that involves technology - which a great deal of learning today does.

    I believe it’s critical to consider accessibility, disability, and usability in online learning, because without understanding the types of assistive technologies learners may use and how to design with inclusion in mind, you may end up unintentionally excluding your learners from your training program.

    So in this session, we’re going to learn how to create accessible online learning, and also learn how to evaluate our existing courses for accessibility. Participants will leave with templates and resources to get started on course accessibility right away!

    Talent Development Capability Model alignment: Cultural Awareness & Inclusion, Compliance & Ethical Behavior, Learning Sciences, Instructional Design, Training Delivery & Facilitation, Technology Application, Change Management, Future Readiness

    Britne Jenke, CPTD has been a member of ATD and an active member and leader of the award-winning Greater Las Vegas chapter since 2017, serving as its president in 2025/26.

She holds several certifications such as Talent Development (CPTD), Human Resources (SHRM-SCP), Accessibility (CPACC), and Diversity & Inclusion, and speaks regularly on accessibility and disability inclusion in the workplace. Britne was featured in 2021 on the Association for Talent Development (ATD)’s DEI podcast for her work in designing inclusive training.
