Spring Co-work and Connect (Bi-weekly) (05/08/2026)

Fri, 08 May 2026 17:00:00 GMT

What's Co-work and Connect?

A program designed to help TD professionals like you meet up, complete some work, and meet some fellow ATD NYC members before the work week is out.

Why Co-work and Connect?

In today's world of work, TD professionals often face two key challenges:

Lack of time and energy for deep, focused work.
Limited opportunities to connect with professionals outside their own teams and organizations.

This program is designed to tackle both, providing an ongoing, structured setting for attendees to get things done together before the workweek ends—then celebrate with a little socializing.

When is it?

Every other Friday in Spring 2026 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm EST beginning April 10th, 2026:

04/10/2026, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
04/24/2026, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
05/08/2026, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
05/22/2026, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
06/05/2026, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
06/19/2026, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Participants register for each quarter's series of co-working sessions and may attend as many or as few as they'd like.

Who will you meet?

Talent development professionals from NYC and beyond, looking to work together, support each other's work, and connect with others.

How does it work?
1. Welcome & Intentions (15 min)

You join the meeting, introduce yourself to everyone in chat, and are quickly placed into a breakout group with 2-4 others.
You briefly introduce yourself to your group mates (e.g., name, role, org, interests) and set your intention for the co-working session (e.g., finish a project proposal, write a LinkedIn post, research a topic).

2. Co-working Sprint (45 min)

You work on what you intended to do, surrounded by other focused colleagues.
You can choose to leave your cameras on for accountability or turn them off for focus time.

3. Check-In & Reflection (15 min)

You reconvene with your groupmates to discuss how things went (e.g., progress made, key learnings or takeaways, challenges encountered, next steps).
People may offer feedback or advice based on their knowledge and experiences if you request.

4. Networking & Wrap-Up (15 min)

You end by getting to know one another a bit more and bonding over shared interests.
You might also arrange a time schedule for follow-up 1:1s to connect or discuss your work in more detail.
You and your group return to the main room to mingle for a few more minutes with others and then depart.

SIG Event: The Trust Reset—How Leaders Repair What Matters Most (05/12/2026)

Tue, 12 May 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Conflict is normal; what matters is how people recover and reconnect afterward.

Event Hosted by: ATD NYC SIGs - Special Interest Groups

About This Event

Trust Repair in Practice

Jaq Poussot will examine the apology as more than a social formality. During the session, we’ll explore it as a practice of awareness, responsibility, and repair. Just as self-awareness precedes our ability to understand others, and self-forgiveness opens the door to genuine compassion, a meaningful apology begins internally before it can land externally.

As relationship researcher John Gottman’s work shows, “it’s not the absence of conflict that builds trust, but how effectively people repair after it.” This workshop builds on that insight—reframing apology as a critical skill for restoring connection and moving forward.

This workshop invites participants to rethink apology as a leadership and team skill—one that, when done well, restores trust, strengthens feedback loops, and reestablishes forward movement within teams.

This 90-minute session blends:

Conceptual framing grounded in neuroscience and emotional intelligence
Reflective exercises to build internal awareness
Practical application for real-world leadership scenarios

This Event is in person

What you will gain from attending:

A clear framework for delivering meaningful, effective apologies
Insight into the internal conditions required for authentic repair
Practical tools to restore trust and improve team dynamics
A deeper understanding of how apology connects to feedback, accountability, and leadership presence

About The facilitator

Jaq Poussot is an executive coach and organizational development practitioner whose work lives at the intersection of neuroscience, mindfulness, and leadership. She is particularly interested in the moments where things break—misalignment, miscommunication, missed impact—and what it takes to repair them with integrity.

Start to Finish: Practical AI Across the Learning Design Process (05/27/2026)

Wed, 27 May 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Start to Finish: Practical AI Across the Learning Design Process

Hosted by the ATD Pittsburgh Chapter

Wednesday, May 27th | 6:00 - 7:15 p.m. ET | Zoom

About This Event

AI is increasingly embedded in the tools learning and development professionals use, but its role in day‑to‑day design work is often unclear. This session offers a practical, start‑to‑finish walkthrough of the learning design process, showing where AI can support thinking, design, and review without replacing professional judgment.

Using a simple, end‑to‑end example, participants will explore how AI can be applied during early idea generation, the design of ILT activities and eLearning interactions, and final content review. The session emphasizes real‑world decision points and includes guided participation, reflection questions, and discussion to help attendees connect the examples to their own work. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of where AI fits into the learning design process, and where it does not.

The session is designed around active audience participation, using a shared learning design example that unfolds from start to finish. Participants are invited to contribute their thinking at key decision points, reflect on how they would approach the same situations in their own work, and engage through chat, guided questions, and live discussion.

About Our Presenters

Andy Marsula | Lead Instructional Designer

Andy Marsula is a Lead Instructional Designer with over 18 years of experience guiding learning initiatives from early concept through delivery in complex, regulated environments. He currently leads instructional design efforts at UPMC, where he supports systemwide education initiatives, manages large‑scale regulatory learning programs, and helps teams bring structure and clarity to under‑framed learning requests.

Andy’s work sits at the intersection of instructional design, prioritization, and workflow design. He is known for helping stakeholders move from vague ideas to clear, performance‑aligned learning solutions while preventing scope creep and improving downstream decision‑making. His approach emphasizes practical design judgment, respect for learner time, and building learning that has a clear purpose from start to finish.

In addition to his day‑to‑day design and leadership work, Andy has presented on learning workflows, governance, and technology at industry conferences, and is a published contributor to The Learning Guild, where he has written on using AI as a support tool for instructional design rather than a replacement for professional expertise. He brings this grounded, process‑focused perspective to his sessions, helping learning professionals see how emerging tools can responsibly support the work they already do.
