    • 8 registrants
    Register

    ATD Greater Atlanta is teaming up with LifeLine Community Animal Center for a hands-on volunteer event supporting one of Atlanta’s leading animal welfare organizations. LifeLine is known for its mission to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals and for the critical work they do across Fulton and DeKalb shelters.

    This event is a win–win for our members and our community.

    • It puts ATD Greater Atlanta’s name and values into the community in a meaningful, visible way.
    • It gives members a chance to network in pairs/groups while walking adoptable dogs and supporting shelter operations.
    • It supports a local non-profit that is transforming animal welfare in Atlanta.
    • It’s a family-friendly event — volunteers ages 10+ are welcome. If you plan to bring children, simply include them in the “total number of guests” field when you register. If an adult friend or family member would like to join you, please share the announcement so they can register themselves.
    • And for many members, it can count toward employer volunteer hours.

    Location: 3180 Presidential Dr, Atlanta, GA 30340

    (Important: LifeLine has multiple locations — be sure to select this one in your GPS.)


    If you’ve been looking for a way to connect with fellow ATD members, give back, and enjoy some time with Atlanta’s four‑legged friends, this is a perfect chance.

    We hope to see you there, and we’re grateful to everyone who helps strengthen ATD Greater Atlanta’s impact in our community.

      Session 2 of 3 | Virtual

      The Hidden Value Roundtable is a free live, facilitated discussion series centered on the book Hidden Value written by Dr. Keith Keating.

      Across three Thursdays in March, we will gather to explore the week’s readings in a structured, peer-driven environment. 

      These sessions align with the three-week framework of The People Ops Book Club, an online book study hosted by Frankie Robinson.

      The roundtable is the live space where the weekly prompts are examined in dialogue and connected to real work.

      What This Is

      • A facilitated session grounded in that week's readings
      • Peer exchange
      • Focused discussion designed to clarify strategy and next steps

      What This Is Not

      • A webinar
      • A lecture
      • A slide presentation

      How To Participate

      To gain the most from each roundtable, participants are encouraged to follow the weekly reading plan and engage with the daily asynchronous prompts shared through The People Ops Book Club. The reading calendar and prompts are available inside the book club community.

      If you are not yet part of the book study, you are welcome to join. The People Ops Book Club is hosted within a public LInkedIn Group available for anyone to join.

      Join the free People Ops Book Club here.

      We are grateful for the support of our series sponsor, TrainingPros, whose partnership makes this discussion series possible.

      • 6 registrants
      Register

      A practice-based learning series for leaders, HR professionals, consultants, and facilitators focused on real-time application, peer feedback, and experiential tools—not lectures.

      FLOW in Practice™ is a four-session experiential lab designed for professionals who want to practice leadership, facilitation, and communication skills in real time.

      This is not a traditional workshop series. There are no long lectures or slide decks. Each session is built as a practice arena, using experiential facilitation tools and structured peer feedback to build confidence, clarity, and skill.

      Participants will work with 2–3 facilitation tools per session, rotating through live practice roles and reflecting on how their leadership and facilitation actually land with others.

      If you’re looking for passive learning, this is not the series for you.

      If you’re ready to practice, reflect, and apply—welcome.

      Select your sessions during registration or contact info@atdatlanta.org.

      Limited to 15 participants per session to ensure depth and safety.

      ● Giving feedback that is clear and human

      This session concludes the Hidden Value Roundtable series with a live Q&A conversation with Dr. Keith Keating.

      Over the previous two sessions, participants examined how value is defined, how learning is positioned, and how capability building connects to business outcomes. This final conversation is designed to sharpen that work.

      These sessions align with the three-week framework of The People Ops Book Club, an online book study hosted by Frankie Robinson.

      • A live conversation with the author
      • Peer exchange
      • Focused discussion designed to clarify strategy and next steps

      What This Is Not

      If you are not yet part of the book study, you are welcome to join. The People Ops Book Club is hosted within a public LInkedIn Group available for anyone to join.
