March – Community Of Practice: Small Yet Mighty L&D Teams – Build Your Coaching Muscle with AI—No Gym Membership Required 

January 19, 2026 by Trew Landis

March 12, 2026

9:00 AM – 10:30 AM – Virtual

This event is limited to 28 participants

Want to strengthen your coaching skills without expensive training programs—or awkward role plays that feel like bad cardio?

In this interactive session, you’ll learn how to use AI to create realistic coaching role plays that actually work. Dream Lab CEO, Cherie Anderson will demonstrate the prompts that act like a personal trainer for your coaching conversations, then you’ll team up with classmates to design your own scenarios.

You’ll leave with ready-to-use prompts and role plays you can put into action immediately—no heavy lifting, no spotter, and no monthly fees. Just smarter practice, better reps, and stronger coaching muscles.

Our Presenter

As Dream Lab’s Chief Experience Officer, Cherie Anderson has 15 years of experience creating vibrant communities — including customer service, sales, and corporate organizations, as well as artists, entrepreneurs, authors, and social justice activists — by leading training classes, facilitating large and small groups, designing curricula, coaching learners, and producing events. She’s worked at Dream Lab Theatre (co-artistic director), American Express, Ameriprise Financial, Cray, Inc., and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, as well as with numerous start-ups. She’s also collaborated with several authors and speakers. Formal education matters, too, so she invested in a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from the University of Minnesota, and a Masters in Organization Development from Bowling Green State University.

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