Join us for this joint Wisconsin ATD Chapter event! Presented in partnership with the Madison Area and Southeast Wisconsin Chapters. 

Requirements to be a good leader have changed more dramatically over the past 10 years than any other time in history – in part due to COVID. Leaders need to be aware of what employees expect and what their organizations need now. In addition, we as TD Professionals must redefine how we develop leaders. As trusted advisors, our role requires us to lead the change – to know and deliver what leaders require to be successful.

This session will provide you with:

  • A list of the key leadership changes that have occurred over the past decade.
  • Leadership development activities you can implement with your leaders.
  • An outline of ATD’s process for developing a leadership development program.
  • Ideas and research from other thought leaders in our profession such as Jack Zenger, Jim Kouzes, Bev Kaye, Ken and Margie Blanchard, and Bill Treasurer.
  • A book drawing.


About the presenter, Elaine Biech

Elaine Biech, CPTD fellow, believes excellence isn’t optional. Her passion is helping others achieve their passion. She specializes in maximizing individual, team, and organizational effectiveness using her expertise in OD, training, and consulting. Elaine has designed and delivered thousands of training courses and apps. Highlights of her career include designing and implementing the first process improvement programs for the Newport News Shipbuilding Company and McDonalds; designing and facilitating the first creativity program for Hershey Chocolate; and facilitating one of the world’s first virtual training sessions in 1985 for NASA.

Elaine’s been called a titan of the training industry and has published 89 books, including The Art & Science of Training, which was a Washington Post number 1 bestseller. She has presented for 38 consecutive years at ATD’s International Conference & EXPO, and has been featured in dozens of publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Management Update, the Washington Post, and Fortune.

Elaine has been active with ATD since 1982—she’s served on the national board of directors, designed ATD’s first training certificate program, was ATD’s inaugural CPTD Fellow designee, and most recently was the principal author of ATD’s TDBoK Guide. A talent development thought leader, Elaine was the recipient of ATD’s 1992 Torch Award, 2004 Volunteer-Staff Partnership Award, 2006 Bliss Memorial Award, and the 2020 Distinguished Contribution to Talent Development Award. In addition, she was the recipient of ISA’s 2001 Spirit Award, 2012 Outstanding Contributor Award, and 2022 Thought Leader Award. She was also the recipient of Wisconsin’s Women’s Mentor Award and sponsors several scholarship funds. Elaine currently serves on the board of directors for ISA, the Association of Learning Providers, and the board of governors for the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL).
