Hello everyone. I am a faculty member in the Lubar School of Business and a new ATD member.  I am interested in finding out more about the knowledge, skills and abilities that regional employers are looking for in recent college graduates.  I spend a lot of time working with current and future business leaders on emotional intelligence, teamwork skills, leadership capabilities and relationship management.  Are there other areas that I should be focusing on to ensure that business school graduates are well prepared to add value to regional employers?

I am also wondering if there would be any interest in learning about some innovative leadership and personal development tools, created by Points of You^® (http://www.points-of-you.com)?  

Leading learning and development in a rapidly changing business environment.  

• We've heard that change is a constant now, the new normal.  It always was, it just wasn't happening as frighteningly fast as it seems to now.  
• Successful companies have to be highly agile, adjusting and adapting and even retooling themselves on a dime.  
• What are the implications for those of us charged with the learning and development that helps these companies' sustain a productive and engaged workforce? 
• How are we approaching talent development differently to enhance companies' ability to thrive in a constant state of change?
