SHRM Talent 2026

What an incredible honor it is to present at SHRM Talent2026 on April 22, 2026.

Being able to collaborate with Dr. Christie McMullen in sharing our parallel perspectives on talent development is truly exciting.

We're discussing: "From Culture by Default to Culture by Design: Building a Intentional Learning Environments the Drive Performance"

‍

Most organizations inherit their culture rather than architect it. The cost? Disengaged teams, knowledge that doesn't stick, and training investments that fail to deliver returns. Companies with strong learning cultures are 92% more likely to innovate and 52% more productive. This interactive session gives you a practical framework to shift from reactive training to intentional culture design. You'll conduct a real-time gap analysis of your learning environment, then build an actionable plan using the AIM ERA methodology—Analyze your learners and systems, Improve knowledge retention and skill development, and Move toward sustained application. Walk away with a customized draft plan, ROI clarity, identified stakeholders, and concrete next steps to transform training from a compliance checkbox into a strategic advantage that drives engagement and performance.
