On a bright summer day, talent and development professionals gathered at the Georgia State University Law School for a transformative experience—the ATD Greater Atlanta Chapter Leadership Academy. The event, held on July 29th, was a beacon of inspiration, providing attendees with valuable insights into leadership, career development, and the power of networking.
The day kicked off with a warm welcome and an exciting icebreaker, setting the tone for the day's activities. Attendees were given the creative challenge of visually representing their unique leadership journeys. The room buzzed with enthusiasm as groups collaborated and crafted their visual masterpieces. Each creation spoke volumes about the diverse paths that brought these aspiring leaders to the present moment.
Next on the agenda was a career development workshop led by Hallie Crawford, owner of Create Your Career Path Consulting. Hallie's captivating presence drew everyone in as she stressed the importance of being ready with an elevator pitch at all times, seizing opportunities when they arise. The analogy of managing one's career like a diversified investment portfolio resonated deeply with the audience, prompting a desire for continuous growth and skill acquisition. Hallie's practical tips for crafting standout LinkedIn profiles and resumes left participants feeling empowered and prepared for
their professional journey.
Following Hallie's empowering workshop, the Greater Atlanta Chapter Executive Board took the stage for a panel discussion on volunteer opportunities within the chapter. The discussion highlighted the importance of community engagement and the power of giving back. Attendees were inspired by the stories of volunteer efforts that enriched lives and fostered personal growth.
Throughout the Leadership Academy, the room buzzed with energy as participants connected with like- minded professionals and built lasting networks. The power of networking became evident, as individuals shared their experiences, exchanged ideas, and found support in each other's journeys.
