Join the number one spot for Talent Development professionals to learn, connect and grow.
The Talent Development Think Tank Community is where talent development professionals come together to share best practices, discover the latest trends, hear from experts and solve challenges so that they can perform better in their jobs and help their companies develop their people more effectively. If you are looking for new ways to engage and develop your people and accelerate your career success, this is the place for you. We have three levels to accommodate the different phases of where you are in your talent development career and journey.
Being a part of this community has made “going solo” A LOT less lonely. I really treasure the relationships and knowledge I’ve gained from this beautiful community Andy put together!

TTDT has been vital in making connections outside my organization with others in the L&D field. The conversations are genuine and informative. The open networking and topic-specific sessions are great jump-starters for deeper conversations 1:1 with professionals I've met through the group. Andy and team always have a fabulous line-up of speakers. This community is well-worth the time and money!

Early Career Professional / Foundation
The Foundation level is great for early career, junior, or aspiring talent development professionals who want to learn as much as they can from others as well as focus more on the tactics of the job. This includes many of the foundational pieces of building a successful career in L&D.
This level gives you access to our member vault of past calls and trainings. These might include building culture, facilitation tips, marketing your L&D programs, needs assessment strategies, the changing landscape of TD, gaining influence, career transitions, and more. You will also have the opportunity to connect with more experienced professionals in the larger community through private communication channels.
This level is focused on helping you accelerate your success in their early years in the field and connect with and learn from seasoned professionals.
L&D Professionals / Main
Entrepreneur Mastermind
As humans, we are not meant to do things on our own. We need community.
This is especially true in Talent Development. It’s not productive or healthy to try to do things all on your own. But most memberships out there do not provide the real, authentic, trusting relationships that we all crave. The Talent Development Think Tank Community is here to put an end to that noise! Much like our conference, this community is built on trust, authenticity and the need for us to work with and support each other.
The TDTT community is a place to connect, grow, learn from colleagues and experts and solve real challenges so that you can achieve more success in your career and feel more fulfillment along the way.
What do I get?
Bi-weekly Calls with Guest Experts
Inside the Talent Development Think Tank Community, we host live Zoom calls every other week. Calls range from featuring guest experts such as Liz Wiseman and open forum calls (a member favorite!) where members get to collaborate and mastermind on different topics and challenges they are working on. We also have several member-led sessions where we give our members a chance to showcase their expertise and answer questions from other members who want to learn from them. One thing we’ve found by doing this the past two years is that our members love learning from each other!

Job Search Group
Two passionate members joined forces to establish an exceptional job search group that operates within our community. This group aims to empower and uplift individuals currently navigating the challenging waters of a career transition. By participating, you gain invaluable insights into successful strategies others have pursued to secure positions in the Talent Development and Learning & Development space. You will stay informed about the latest job postings, ensuring you never miss an opportunity. The beauty of this group lies in the fact that our members themselves are often involved in the hiring process, allowing them to personally vouch for your talents and skills, amplifying your chances of success.
1:1 Connections
Gain access to one-on-one connections with fellow members. Choose a weekly or monthly schedule that suits you best to be paired with other members, fostering deeper connections and engaging in intimate discussions about best practices, unique experiences, industry strategies, challenges and solutions, and more.
Workshop Design Office Hours
One of our own talented community members runs monthly Workshop Design Office Hours, a dedicated space for the community to collaborate and innovate together. Designing workshops can be isolating and challenging, but with monthly brainstorming calls, you can get the support you need. Whether you're looking for guidance on your own workshop designs or want to contribute ideas to others this call provides the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow members and elevate your workshop creations.
I'm connecting with at least 2 or 3 TDTT'ers every week and creating new opportunities for myself, my business and my career. And this all wouldn't have without you and you bringing together this community.
