Tuesday, June 3, 2025, 9 a.m.–10 a.m. PT: The Neuroscience of Authentic Presentations
Are you more authentic when you give someone a piece of your mind because you value being yourself or when you’re choosing not to say what’s on your mind because you value kindness and politeness? There’s a debate in the science of authenticity: on one hand, authenticity can be acting in informal, non-conformist ways, but on the other, it can be acting in formal, socially desirable ways. To settle the debate, Carmen Simon, Ph.D., Founder of Enhancive, shares her latest neuroscience research on how audiences perceive authenticity and what makes them trust, engage and remember you.

Tuesday, June 3, 2025, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. PT: Lead Through Change: Helps Managers Adapt, Not Resist (Free for ATD members)
Middle managers are catalyst for most organizations. They’re the ones caught between strategic shifts from above and the emotional whiplash of teams below. And when change hits — whether it’s restructuring, market disruption or internal transformation — they’re expected to adapt fast, keep others aligned and deliver results. But here’s the truth: most managers crave the status quo. Our brains are wired to resist uncertainty. That’s why change initiatives often stall, cultures stagnate and teams underperform.

Ways to support managers during market shifts, restructures and uncertainty.
A shared language and model to lead teams through the four phases of change.
Real-world case studies of organizations building cultures of adaptability and innovation.
