    Keynote Session Description: Unlocking VALUE: Discover and Express How You Make a Difference

    Talent development professionals are at the heart of creating meaningful change at work, but how often do we pause to recognize our own value?

    Get ready to kick off an incredible day of learning with an engaging and interactive session designed just for you! Together, we'll explore the value you bring to your teams, organizations, and the learners you support as well as your personal and professional strengths. You'll be ready to craft a powerful narrative that showcases the impact you create every day. This session will invite you to reconnect with your purpose, embrace your worth, and leave with actionable strategies to show up with confidence and authenticity. Whether you’re shaping learning strategies, leading teams, or building the future of talent development, this session will inspire you to amplify your unique value.

    Let’s celebrate your contributions, share your brilliance, and make an unforgettable impact—starting today!
