Shape What Comes Next for L&D
About
Breakfast with L&D authors Laura Overton, Michelle Ockers & Michelle Parry-SlaterLaura Overton is doing a brief visit to Australia from the UK. This is her only Sydney appearance. This is your chance to spend time with Laura, one of the most progressive, evidence-informed practitioners in L&D globally.
She’ll be joined by two of Australia’s most respected voices in workplace learning, Michelle Ockers and Michelle Parry-Slater, for a morning of real conversation about what’s going on in L&D right now, and what it takes to move forward.
Many L&D professionals feel overwhelmed. Working in our continuously changing environment would be challenge enough, without the added pressure to prove that what we do actually matters. This morning is for people who are keen to shape what comes next for L&D.
We’ve written the books, literally. And we’re still figuring it out alongside everyone else. Join us so we can learn and move forward together.
What’s included:
• Book readings and Q&A with all three authors
• Lucky door prize: three copies of The L&D Leader by Laura Overton and Michelle Ockers, and three copies of The Learning and Development Handbook by Michelle Parry-Slater
• Books to purchase on the spot at a discounted price
• Book signing (bring your own copy)
• Breakfast and barista coffee
• Time to connect with Sydney’s L&D community in a room where the conversation moves us forward
Why come:
• To have the conversation that’s harder to have at work, with people who’ve thought carefully about the same questions
• To hear what’s behind both books
• To go back to work with something to try to improve your impact
Places are limited.
