Program Overview
In our efforts to offer our membership the tools and resources to excel in the talent development industry and kick off our Career Development Month, we are partnering with CoachDiversity Institute (CDI) to offer a FREE, members-only coaching program! This program was available to the first 100 of Metro DC ATD’s members and included six 1-hour coaching sessions over six months.
The 2025 program cohort will take place from February - July 2025.
Registration for the 2025 program cohort is open until November 30, 2024.
If you are interested in participating in this program in the future, you must be a member of the Metro DC Chapter of ATD and register online to confirm your interest by the deadline.

Why Coaching?
According to an article in the TD Magazine, Make the Most of Coaching by Carrie Arnold, professional coaches can help restore three important things in their clients: A sense of self, individual agency, and a navigation system.
Selecting My Coach
When you think about a coaching relationship, consider these reflective questions:
- Do I know my own story?
- What is my growth edge?
- What is my willingness to let this be all about me?
- What commitments do I need to make to myself?
- What will it take to get the most out of this professional development opportunity?
Those questions will help you consider whom you want to serve as your coach. You will be able to view the available coaches’ biographies that describe their background and focus as a coach.
