3. WELCOME!! Introduction How long have you been in talent development?
What capacities have you served?
Current role in industry.
First off, I would like to welcome you all. My name is Kristin Molina. I have been a practicing member of the talent development community for about 6 years now. I currently work as an Instructional Designer for Florida Blue. I have worked in many different capacity within this profession.
For the past year, I have served as a CPLP committee member under the former Chair, Lisa Mills. When Lisa received a promotional opportunity to move out west of the country, I stepped up. I do not have my CPLP, my hope to achieve this within the next 3 years.
Later in today’s session, I can describe some of the study material that Lisa and the study group and I have created to support our endeavors.
Let’s go around the room and introduce ourselves, how long we’ve been in the talent development profession, and our current role in the industry.
