March 2025 Change Leadership Community of Practice: Building Trust to Influence Change 

by

March 14, 2025

9:30 AM – 11:00 AM – In-Person @ Sumner Library: 611 Van White Memorial Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55411

This event is limited to 50 participants

Our ability to influence change depends on how we show up. Trust is often the deciding factor between being seen as an order taker versus a trusted partner.

In this interactive session, we’ll take a deep dive into trust and self-awareness, helping you uncover:

* How you currently demonstrate trust (or unintentionally break it).

* The difference between being a thought leader versus just executing tasks.

* How to show up with credibility so leaders and teams want to work with you.

This session is introspective, interactive, and eye-opening—designed to spark insights that will shape how you build trust and influence change within your organization.

This program is FREE for all ATD-GTC members. Members may bring one complimentary, registered guest.

In Reset, Dan Heath dives into how organizations can hit the refresh button to tackle challenges more effectively and spark innovation. Heath’s insights on how small, intentional changes can create lasting impact will have you rethinking how you approach problems in your work.

Join us! We want to hear your perspective, and welcome you whether you’ve read the book, skimmed the book, read the chapters that interest you, read a summary, watched a YouTube summary, watched an interview with Dan Heath, or want to learn from your peers and share your experience. You are welcome!

ATD Book Banter meets bi-monthly on the 3rd Thursday of the month. Club meetings will last 90 minutes and start at 11:30 AM with time for virtual networking.

We believe learning and growing together is fun. In the sessions we will talk about the book, ideas in the book, and how those ideas apply to our work and lives.

Our discussion on Heath’s book Reset is sure to re-shape your thinking on leadership, change, strategy and innovation, and leave you with ideas to talk about, and tools to try. Hope to see you there.
