Mission & Impact
ATD-GTC is a community focused on helping each other to excel at work, driving better business outcomes and personal growth. Our mission is to bring the joy of learning into everything we do, whether through our cutting-edge programs, engaging events, or meaningful member interactions.
Our members find joy and professional satisfaction in delivering a message that lands. Witnessing the lightbulb moment when a colleague, client, or trainee “gets it” and acquires a new skill to do their job better is incredibly gratifying. Moreover, it fuels our passion for learning innovative approaches to influencing, mentoring, and teaching.
What is Joy of Learning
We believe that learning is not just a task but a journey that should inspire, motivate, and energize individuals. Our chapter’s brand, the Joy of Learning, reflects the excitement we all share in inspiring that spark in others and nurturing a love of learning. It’s our mission to ensure that every member experiences professional development that truly ignites their own Joy of Learning.
By fostering a learning culture, we aim to empower talent development professionals to make a transformative impact on their organizations and beyond, ensuring that continuous growth and development are woven into the fabric of every endeavor.
