Fueling Transformation Through Your People

The Training Industry 2026 Trends Report states that “when learning is reinforced through peer influence rather than top-down messaging, it becomes more believable and likely to last.” During this discussion, a panel of learning leaders will explore how learning and development (L&D) can harness the passion of employees who are already highly engaged to strengthen culture and accelerate change across the business.

Rather than focusing solely on re-engaging disengaged employees, this session centers on amplifying what’s already working — identifying advocates, empowering them as change agents and creating systems where enthusiasm becomes contagious.

Attendees will walk away with practical insights for:

• Identifying and empowering highly engaged employees to champion new initiatives
• Embedding engagement into the culture so it drives lasting change
• Building peer-led movements that spread enthusiasm and credibility across teams
• Using learning experiences to connect personal growth with business goals
• Measuring the real impact of engagement on performance and retention

Panelists:
Megan Bell, PMP, MPM
Director, Enterprise Performance Excellence, FastMed
Dr. Theresa Brough, MBA, PHR
Senior Director of People Operations, Home Furniture Plus Bedding
David L. Jackson III
Director of Talent Pathways and Learning, HealthPoint

Moderated by Michelle Eggleston Schwartz, CPTM, Editor in Chief at Training Industry, Inc.
