CUSTOM LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Custom Learning: Designing the Future of Work

The Practitioner-Scholar Approach

I don’t just "deliver" workshops; I design them. As a Senior Learning Specialist at a top research institution, I bridge the gap between academic rigor and organizational performance. My approach combines evidence-based design with experiential facilitation to move teams beyond theory and into actionable growth.

Signature Learning Pillars

I specialize in five core areas of organizational and personal growth. These topics can be delivered as standalone intensives or combined into a multi-phase learning journey.

1. Digital Intelligence & AI Strategy

Helping organizations navigate the technical and cultural shifts of the modern workplace.

  • AI Literacy & Strategic Adoption: Building foundational AI literacy and developing sustainable roadmaps for ethical integration.

  • Human-Centric AI Workflows: Shifting the focus from "tools" to the mindset required to integrate AI with intentionality and critical thinking.

  • Inclusive Digital Design: Ensuring all digital learning and communication meet WCAG and AODA accessibility standards.

2. Leadership Intelligence

Building self-aware, high-EQ leaders equipped for high-stakes environments.

  • The EQ-Driven Leader: Developing self-regulation and social influence through the EQ-i 2.0 framework.

  • Reputation & Intentionality: Using Hogan Assessment insights to manage leadership reputation and navigate professional pressure.

  • Personal Leadership for Scholars: Specialized strategies for managing the unique interpersonal and self-management dynamics of academia.

3. Collaborative Innovation

Solving complex problems and building high-trust cultures through strategic play.

  • The Serious Business of Play: Utilizing LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) to surface hidden insights and drive shared understanding.

  • Psychological Safety in Teams: Experiential sessions designed to foster the trust and candor necessary for high-performing research and corporate groups.

My Methodology

Every workshop is built on a foundation of Operational Excellence and Learning Science.

  • Instructional Rigor: Utilizing my Master of Education (MEd) to ensure every session is inclusive, accessible, and grounded in adult learning principles.

  • Agile Efficiency: Leveraging Lean Six Sigma Black Belt principles to ensure learning designs are streamlined, high-ROI, and focused on tangible outcomes.

  • Evidence-Based Insights: Integrating data from psychometric and competency assessments to tailor the experience to your team’s actual needs.

The Design Process

Every experience is custom-built using a four-stage process to ensure your learning objectives are met:

  1. Discovery: We assess organizational needs through stakeholder interviews and performance gap analysis.

  2. Design: I develop a bespoke curriculum (Half-day, Full-day, or Multi-session) using evidence-based adult learning theories tailored to your specific goals.

  3. Delivery: We facilitate high-engagement, inclusive sessions (Virtual or In-person) that move beyond theory into active, experiential learning that invites every voice into the conversation.

  4. Debrief: You receive a post-session impact summary with recommendations for continued growth.
