About Me

I'm on a mission to help organizations solve problems, enhance employee performance, and promote career advancement through innovative Talent Development programs.

My Interests

• Instructional Design
• eLearning Development
• ILT/VILT Facilitation
• Leadership and Manager Enablement
• Employee Orientation and Onboarding

My Beliefs

• Learning teams should operate and behave as a product organization (VoC-driven, creates MVPs followed by testing/iterating, and delivers using Agile methodologies modified for L&D).
• Training skills is helpful, but lots of people have skills they don't execute on. Behavior change is more important than knowledge acquisition.
• We measure training effectiveness by intensity when we should be measuring by consistency. Too many of us assume the short-term impacts that we're having are producing long-term value.
• The employee experience should be designed as intently as the customer experience.
• An organization can't "empower" its people. Organizations must instead remind people that they already have power, and create the conditions and environment for them to use it.
