What’s New at ATD Pittsburgh: Fall Learning Series + A New Book Club!

As we move into the fall season, I’m excited to share some big updates from ATD Pittsburgh. Our chapter has always been about creating opportunities for growth, connection, and impact in the talent development space—and this season is no exception.

Fall Playbook Learning Series

We’re bringing you two powerful sessions designed to elevate your skills and strengthen your impact as a professional.

✨ Leadership Development as a Retention Strategy with Max Polec

Retention is one of the top challenges facing organizations today—and leadership development is a critical solution. In this interactive workshop, Max Polec will guide participants through strategies to identify, develop, and retain top talent. You’ll walk away with practical tools to strengthen teams, build leadership pipelines, and support succession planning for long-term success.

✨ Step into Your Moxie: Speak Up and Influence with Jennifer Kennedy

If you’ve ever wanted to strengthen your ability to speak up with confidence and inspire action, this session is for you. Jennifer Kennedy will help you tap into your “moxie”—equipping you with tools to communicate with impact, build presence, and lead conversations that move people to act.

New Offering: Free Virtual Book Club

We’re also thrilled to announce something brand-new for our community: the ATD Pittsburgh Book Club!

This free, virtual program will give members the chance to explore new ideas together, share insights, and apply fresh learning directly into practice. Details—including our first book pick—are available now on our website.

Why This Matters

Whether you’re investing in your own leadership, building your ability to influence, or learning alongside peers through our book club, these programs are designed with you in mind. At ATD Pittsburgh, we believe professional growth is more powerful when it’s shared—and we’re excited to grow with you this season.
