For eleven sweet years, I’ve been convening folks from around the world, for a free, monthly Learning and Development Roundtable workshop on a range of interesting and engaging topics that members have asked for.
Our community is a global group of diverse, social change-makers, who are committed to learning, making a difference, connecting, and contributing.
Hot tip: If you are a UN staff, all the Roundtables you attended count towards your annual professional development requirement.
Here’s what we covered this year. And while our last roundtable has been held for 2023, don’t worry if you missed out, there’s a whole bunch of new ones cued up for 2024.
Last week I covered January to May Learning and Development Roundtables. On with the summary of what we covered in 2023 from June to December.
Rewards, recognition, and celebration
June’s Roundtable focused on something we rarely take the time for – rewards, recognition, and celebration – and we walked our talk with this fun, celebratory Roundtable.
- Learn about employee rewards and recognition
- Discover two powerful tools for customizing rewards and recognition
- Practice simple, targeted celebration tools
- Have fun and learn ways to celebrate while we celebrate: 1) the Learning and Development Roundtable, 2) you, and 3) teams in general
- Come away with some small, unique gifts!

Navigating the ChatGPT Roller Coaster- how to harness these powerful AI tools
I was especially keen on this highly popular Roundtable where I brought almost a year’s worth of research to a fun, interactive Roundtable that included drawing unicorns.
- Learn the basics of using tools like ChatGPT with some simple, easy pointers
- Navigate the ethical considerations of AI use
