Conversations That Stick. Connections That Last.
ELE's Chicagoland Meetup Mon, OCT 12 | Drop in anytime 4:00–7:00 PM CT | Cooper's Hawk Oak Park, IL
Come when you can, leave when you need. Catch up with fellow people leaders, swap what's working, and help shape how our community reimagines leadership development around real work, in real time.

Most learning programs end when the session does. They aren't connected to the work itself, so nothing keeps improving once people get back to their jobs. Capability that lasts gets built in the work, through peers, managers, and what people notice every day.
At ELE's Oct 1 Fall Conference at CNA, the Design Lab explored moving past one-off programs toward ecosystems that build capability over time. Design Lab: Stop Building Learning Programs. Design Ecosystems That Actually Build Capability. | ELE Insights
The Talent Challenge We're Exploring:
"How can L&D partner with HRBPs to hear what's really happening in the work, and turn it into leadership development in the flow of work?"
Who's Joining:
- L&D and leadership development leaders, plus HRBPs and talent leaders who are building leaders in the work, not just in the classroom
What You'll Take Back:
- How other leaders pick up signals from the front line
- One or two listening connectors you could set up in your org
- Practical next moves to try with your team
Share What's Moving Your Work — Book #4 Is Being Built With Real Stories
In Search of Organizational Excellence — the 4th ELE book — is being built inside the community right now.
Found a way to listen better, connect people, or build capability in the work? A small win, a workaround, or a lesson from something that didn't land all count. Your story could end up in the book.
