  In this interactive workshop series, you'll create a portfolio that effectively highlights your skills and achievements. Whether you’re updating an existing portfolio or starting from scratch, this workshop will provide insights and practical tips to help you stand out in your field. 

  We’ll cover the essentials of creating a career portfolio, from choosing a suitable format to effectively presenting your work. 

  
  

  Outcomes

  • Session 1: Select three artifacts to present in a portfolio related to your current and/or target job.
  • Session 2: Draft three write-ups for your artifacts. Choose a format for your portfolio. Create a low-fidelity prototype of your portfolio. 
    
  • Session 3: Implement your plans to improve your low-fidelity prototype and write-ups.
    
  • Session 4: Implement your plans to improve your high-fidelity prototype for use in professional settings. 
    

  
  
  You’ll receive peer feedback and guidance in every session, and by the end of the workshop, you'll refine your portfolio and get it close to publishing.

  ATDps: April 2025 Virtual Member Event

  Seeing and Shaping Collaborative Frames with Elise Keith

  Do your teams ever struggle with:

  • Lost in Translation: Team members from diverse professional, generational, or cultural backgrounds struggle to understand each other, leading to reluctant and surface-level collaboration.
  • Clogged Conversations: Discussions circle endlessly around the same problem without resolution, leaving the team stuck and frustrated.
  • Swimming Against the Tide: Teams pour energy into solutions that lead nowhere, exhausting themselves in the process.

  
  

  These challenges arise when teams are trapped in narrow or misaligned perspectives. To move forward, they need to uncover hidden assumptions, realign their views, and reframe their approach.

  
  

  In this introduction to 5D Thinking Maps, you'll explore a practical toolkit to help your teams:

  • Identify the frames shaping their work and interactions.
  • Surface and address misunderstandings effectively.
  • Reframe conversations to unlock new solutions and fresh momentum.

  
  

  Through interactive examples, you’ll practice spotting unspoken frames and experimenting with small shifts that can break through bottlenecks and stuck thinking. Perfect for learning and development professionals who want to foster healthier team dynamics, inspire creativity, and encourage constructive conflict.

  Key Takeaways:

  -Gain a clear understanding of what framing is and why it matters for collaboration.

  -Learn how to spot limiting team perspectives and start meaningful conversations about them.

  -Leave with an actionable strategy to help your teams open new possibilities and get unstuck at work.
