About Jay Erikson
I am passionate about helping people succeed – from engineers in Silicon Valley to farmers in Zambia. Driven by a desire for continuous improvement, I am an avid reader, study leadership and technology, and explore new ways to collaborate and solve problems. I am a goal-oriented leader who values critical thinking and data-driven decisions. As a leader, I focus on individual and team development and enjoy helping people play to their strengths.Working in talent development for over 20 years enabled me to hone my skills in strategic leadership, relationship management, talent development, program management, curriculum development, field enablement, instructional design, competency assessments, certification, and education services. I love meeting people from all over the world who benefit from our learning programs.Awards, Events, and Publications> 8-time winner of ATD BEST Award for Hitachi Vantara Global Learning/HDS Academy> Contributed to Leading the Learning Function: Tools and Techniques for Organizational Impact by ATD> Contributed to ATD\'s Action Guide to Talent Development by Elaine Biech> Facilitator ATD International Conference & Expo 2022: Trends in Learning (2022)> Panelist ATD Applying Principles of Leadership: Practicing What We Teach (2022)> Presented at ATD Japan Summit 2021: A Blueprint for Upskilling Employees> Panelist ATD International Conference & Expo 2021: Leading for Organizational Impact> Panelist Micro 2021: The Past, Present, and Future of Microlearning> Panelist ATD Forum Roundtable: Podcasts> Presented at CEdMA on adaptive learning> Presented at Hitachi Vantara Global Sales Kickoff> Presented at ATD BEST conference on the use of technology in training> Reviewer for ATD Excellence in Practice AwardsGiving back is a passion of mine.
