The Learning Lab
The ULTIMATE Learning Experience
Overview
What is a Learning Lab?
A Learning Lab is a full-day live, interactive, virtual workshop offering deep dive learning on advanced professional development topics. All class activities use your real-world work, making the Learning Lab a completely unique learning experience.
Each Learning Lab Includes…
6 Hours In-Depth Training

Participant Praise
“The format made it impossible to get bored!”
“I was a bit worried that I was going to have a hard time staying focused and engaged for a full day of online training. The format made it impossible to get bored or too distracted! I loved how engaging the training was. I learned a lot from Chrissy and from the other participants. I know I will be using the templates and concepts at work.”
Anais Bardin-Chandler, Change Management March 2023
Pre-Work is Required
Before joining a Learning Lab, participants are assigned pre-work. This helps prepare you for the training and ensures we can use our time together wisely. Pre-work generally requires 1 to 2 hours of time to complete.
The Unique Learning Lab Benefit
Learning Labs allow you to get training AND get your own work done at the same time!
The implementation activities are all designed to be applied to your real work. If you would prefer to use sample materials, you can. But the goal is to make this the best possible use of your work time. Regularly scheduled breaks also make it possible for you to attend to other work obligations as needed during the program.

2026 Learning Labs
Change Leadership
Date: June 4, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time
Nothing is constant—except for change. It’s an inevitable part of modern work life. Even under the best of circumstances, change is a disruptive force and, for many professionals, it’s a trigger for stress, fear and anxiety. If not carefully managed, it can destroy morale, decrease productivity, and wreak havoc on a team and an organization.
The field of Change Management is robust and covers a lot of territory: While it certainly involves managing your own response to change, it also includes helping support others as they navigate it. This session will show you how to embrace the spirit of change and become an informal change management leader in your organization.
In this Learning Lab, you will…
- Discover strategies to manage your own mindset around change even when your natural instinct is to resist.
- Explore different models and theories regarding change management, human behavior, psychology, group dynamics and learning—and how these things apply to you.
- Learn how to determine where people are in the change cycle and provide the right support.
- Learn how to proactively prepare yourself and your team for change and overcome change fatigue.
- Practice strategies to communicate change in the right way and avoid common mistakes.
- Identify tools to evaluate, measure, and monitor the impact of change initiatives.
As a participant, you will be working on a change initiative of your choice during the structured activities. You will also have access to a sample change initiative if you’d prefer to work on that.
Project Management Essentials (for Non-Project Managers)
Date: September 24, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time
While you may not be an “official” Project Manager by title, most modern professionals assume these responsibilities on an ad-hoc basis. Unfortunately, projects can easily go awry and those who lack experience and/or training can quickly become overwhelmed, resulting in costly setbacks and potentially damaging career consequences.
This program helps those who are not professional Project Managers effectively oversee the various steps involved in projects from simple to complex; manage the people, tasks and timelines involved; and ensure exceptional results that meet the defined specifications.
In this Learning Lab, you will…
- Discover the step-by-step process for organizing and guiding a project from concept to completion.
- Explore the top reasons for project failure and how to prevent them.
- Identify strategies to handle the inevitable unexpected surprises and mitigate their impact.
- Learn how to minimize risk and set yourself up for success from the beginning.
- Understand how to leverage the latest technology to support your PM efforts (without wasting time in the process!).
As a participant, you will be working on a project of your choice during the structured activities. You will also have access to a sample project if you’d prefer to work on that.
ADVANCED Project Management (for Non-Project Managers)
Date: November 12, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time
Project management is a rich and complex field with a wide variety of frameworks, philosophies and methodologies. Perhaps you’ve heard terms like Scrum, Waterfall, Sprint, Kanban, Lean, Kaizen, and Agile, and wondered what exactly they mean and how they apply to the projects you manage each day. Maybe you’ve explored different PM tools and strategies, but you’re just not sure how to incorporate them into your work as an “unofficial” PM.
If you have experience managing projects, have already done basic PM training, and you’re ready to take your learning to the next level—this workshop is for you! In this Learning Lab, you’ll gain deeper insight into the dynamic world of project management and learn advanced strategies to take your project work to the next level.
In this Learning Lab, you will…
- Gain a high-level overview of the principles and practices of the most popular PM methodologies and how to select which one is right for your project.
- Explore specific tools to coordinate efforts and enhance communication within virtual and hybrid project teams.
- Learn how to identify, monitor, manage and minimize risk throughout the project lifecycle.
- Discover strategies for stepping into the leadership role, even without direct authority, and managing the increasingly complex “people side” of projects.
- Explore cutting-edge technology that can be used to streamline project workflows.
PRE-REQUISITE: This is an advanced workshop. You must have already attended the Project Management Essentials Learning Lab (anytime between 2020-2025). If you sign up for this lab and do not have this pre-requisite, your registration will be cancelled. If you would like to apply for an exception, please email Chrissy@EatYourCareer.com.
As a participant, you will be working on a project of your choice during the structured activities.

Tickets are non-refundable. However, all labs are recorded. If you’re a ticket-holder, you will receive access to the video replays.
How many people can attend a Learning Lab?
Space is limited to 50 people. However, we try to keep it to 40 or fewer if possible. If a certain lab sells out, we will consider adding an additional date for that topic in the future.

More Praise for the Learning Labs
This is my 4th lab with Chrissy.
I am always able to take what I’ve learned from her and apply it to my work immediately!
My first time taking a learning lab was lovely! Chrissy made the materials feel approachable. The recap and resources after the lab was over are really great to have.
Looking forward to taking another lab!
Attending this Learning Lab was fun and a terrific investment of time, attention and money.
What a great delivery of information that I put to use right away!
I really liked the chunks of work time after new concepts were introduced. That really helps drive home the learning.
I am very excited to share what I learned with others.
Chrissy has a fabulous way of conveying the information in such a way that it doesn’t feel overwhelming and is easy to absorb even though it’s a TON of info! I have learned so much and a lot of it I was able to apply to my work right away!
I feel way more prepared to tackle my every day job and feel more confident in spreading my wings.
This was my first learning lab and I’m so sad I didn’t attend one sooner because I’ve been missing out! I learned so much and, because we are able to use our own work, it’s very applicable. It helps you “get the lesson” and makes it real for you.
I am very pleased with my experience and will definitely be attending again!
Chrissy is a phenomenal teacher and an amazing role model for both up and coming, and seasoned professionals. The Learning Lab exceeded my hopes on all fronts.
Her programs are reasonably priced, accessible, and totally worth the investment.
I have already taken a graduate level course in PM and this material was right on target but organized in a way that someone with no PM experience or previous learning could absorb and later apply to their work, using the comprehensive workbook as a reference.
Well worth the time and investment.
Chrissy’s instructional delivery was tailored to connect with various learning styles. She made the content very easy to understand throughout the lab.
What a great learning experience!
The most enjoyable, thought-inspiring, educational webinar I have been on! Chrissy provides an interactive, safe space to learn and to be inspired.
Highly recommend!
Chrissy’s Career Planning Learning Lab was great, and I would recommend it to any professional. The process she shares is valuable and well laid out.
I can’t wait to take the rest of her Learning Labs!
I absolutely recommend this Learning Lab especially if your assignment has changed and you are now taking on more work than you are used to.
Chrissy guides you into the new much leaner work world, calmly!
Thank you for making this virtual event so fun and interactive. It was great interacting with the other participants as we learned from you and one another.
This was incredibly valuable, and exceeded my expectations. I will now plan attending annually, as part of my professional development. The ability to work on real-world problems was so relevant, and the theory and various tools and reading materials were exceptional.
Chrissy makes the materials approachable but also makes you think. She is encouraging and willing to answer any questions but I also appreciate she sticks to the agenda and stays on pace!
