Dan Pink – Chicago Book Signing January 19th! – Catch him in person before his ASTD keynote in May!
Best-Selling Author, A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future and The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need

Daniel H. Pink is the author of four provocative, bestselling books on the changing world of work.

In his latest book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Pink shows us that the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Based on forty years of scientific data supporting his argument that people need intrinsic rather than external motivation, Pink’s work revolutionizes the way that we look at performance and motivation.

CCASTD’s focus and intention for 2010 is to help WLP professionals advance their expertise and career in the ever-changing, exciting field of Workplace Learning and Performance. To kick-off CCASTD’s New Year, spend an evening with Ranjani Iyengar – Senior Director of Learning and Development at Kraft Foods, board member of ASTD and fellow WLP professionals. Through presentation, discussion, and Q&A, Ranjani will help us think about:

• How the WLP field may change in the next five to 10 years
• New ways WLP professionals can bring value to their organizations – NOW
• What senior WLP professionals are looking for in the people they hire
• What you can be doing to stay on top of your game as a WLP pro

Armed with information and knowledge gained by attending this event, you will leave the meeting with ideas for your own development and growth in 2010.

Beginning in 2010, CCASTD will be incorporating the ASTD Competency Model in much of our programming. If you are not already familiar with the model, we encourage you to follow this link to the ASTD website for more information.
