Member Spotlight



Meet February's Member of the Month: Kristina Pohlmann!

Tell us about your experience in the Talent Development space including places you've worked, roles you've held, and organizations you're a part of. 

Well I’ve pretty much been helping train people since my very first job at Dairy Queen when I was in High School.  My first official training position was at Werner Enterprises where I was the Learning and Development Manager for Operations, then Lead Learning and Development Manager for Safety, and finally a Lead Learning and Development Manager for Brokerage.  I made a shift from the transportation industry to healthcare staffing and was a Systems and Technology Trainer at Medical Solutions, then Instructional Designer/Talent Solutions Manager at RTG Medical and I’m currently the Learning and Development Manager for Ventura MedStaff. 

I'm an active member of ODN and have been on the board for ATD Nebraska for the last several years serving as the Director of Special Projects, Director of Member Experience and currently as the VP of Membership.  This year I’m also part of ATD National’s Leadership Conference Planning Committee. 


What are some of your interests, strengths, and unique qualities that would help others get to know you better?

I like having a good time with friends and family.  Watching my kids participate in their activities. And enjoy traveling.  In fact, my husband and I go on a tropical vacation every year in Jan/Feb and I just got home from a week-long trip to Huatulco, Mexico.  It was amazing.

I’m an idea gal and enjoy sharing ideas and best practices with others.  Helping others fills my bucket and I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to train others as my job.

 

What "work related" accomplishment(s) are you the most proud of?

At RTG, it was working with Sunni Wiltse to develop and successfully implement their very first LMS using Docebo.  

At Ventura MedStaff, it’s been creating a Learning Champions program that allows employees to take advantage of learning opportunities and be recognized for it.

Earning my CPTD (Certified Professional in Talent Development) certification in December.  


Do you have a lesson you've learned in your career you'd like to share with others?

Build a network of people that will support you and provide you with feedback you need to make you better.  Shout out to my peeps, you know who you are. ;)
