🧠 What if everything you know about reflection is backwards?

Most learning professionals save reflection for the end of a training session—but by then, much of what participants learned is already fading. What if reflection happened before, during, and after the learning experience?

📅 Wednesday, November 18, 2026
⏰ 12:00–1:00 PM CT
💻 Zoom

✅ Learn how to incorporate reflection before learning begins, during training, and after the session ends

✅ Practice reflection methods designed to improve retention and long-term learning transfer

Whether you're a trainer, facilitator, instructional designer, or talent development professional, you'll walk away with actionable tools to create learning experiences that truly stick.

What happens when Learning & Talent Development professionals come together?

They learn, connect, and make a difference.

At our recent ND ATD Spring Summit, professionals from across the Learning and Talent Development community came together to share ideas, gain new insights, and grow their skills. But the impact didn't stop there.

By the end of the event, attendees left with more than new knowledge—they left knowing they had contributed to something bigger. Through giving back to our local community, this group demonstrated the power of learning with purpose.

We're proud to be part of a community that believes professional growth and community impact go hand in hand. Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared your expertise, and helped make a positive difference.
