Learning & Development Professional Services

Bring growth and learning to your team.

The demand for professional development is on the rise. It is an essential ingredient to any engagement and retention initiative. It is the companion to long-term succession planning efforts. And growing your workforce to adapt now and in the future can't happen without it.

Every organization has unique learning development needs. You may be on the lookout for a consultant to evaluate and assess your learning needs, support for an existing learning and development team or program, or bespoke training and facilitation.

Learning is the foundation of organizational success. This is my philosophy and the core of my approach to learning and development in action. Training and learning activities I support, design, and deliver are aligned to strategic goals, connected to measures of success, and have the learner's job performance in mind.

How We Learn at Work

People are capable of making choices, learning, and changing.

This means that we can participate in learning and development experiences and grow based on our choices and willingness to learn.

Adults are full partners in their own learning.

When an adult participates in training, they bring their own unique experience and knowledge to the event. These are not only worthy of the trainer's respect, they are vital to the training and its impact. Adults can and should own their own growth and share what they know in the process.

Learning is fueled by empathy.

When we engage with the world around us, empathy allows us to intake and imagine the experiences, emotions, knowledge, and challenges of others. This is the first step to lasting learning.

Leading and learning are intrinsically connected.

People who want to lead must be willing and able to learn.

Beyond the Classroom

Training is important. And when it happens as part of an intentional, mission-aligned strategy, you can expect great results.

While I love serving as a trainer, my real passion is the design and management of holistic learning programs that address real-world workplace challenges. Whether partnering with an existing HR/learning team to guide program development, conducting a learning needs assessment to inform future learning strategy choices, or serving as a fractional L&D practitioner, I can support your learning goals for executives, managers, and frontline employees.

Key to any learning strategy are the programs that deliver results. My portfolio includes the following:

A 12-month new leader orientation that combined self-study, classroom training, mentorship, and a robust resource library.
A 12-week training for frontline leaders/supervisors who are exploring management, including individual development planning, HR policy review, and meeting etiquette.
A 12-week academy for high-performing individual contributors, using learning badges, self-customization, and mentorship to invest in their ongoing growth and engagement.
A yearlong program for managers to enhance their emotional intelligence, ability to create change and achieve results, This comprehensive program leveraged leaders as trainers, online learning community engagement, traditional classroom training, and guided mentorship.

Each of these programs was designed from the start unique performance metrics, connected to organizational priorities and goals, to ensure strategical alignment and to demonstrate individual and collective impact.
