Learning Strategy
Having a track record of success in building teams that service various channels of distribution is priceless before getting into a learning software contract or exploring how to scale with your current team. With experience building plans for global in-market field teams, digitally supportive customer success professionals and Direct Sales teams, I can help you roadmap your success strategy.
Startup in rapid growth mode and need to understand how to quickly scale with the team you already (or don’t) have?
Let me know your plans to dominate your industry and I’ll suggest the best digital and in-person training approach to carve your path.
Already running an established operation and need someone with an outside perspective to focus on a special project?
I can take a micro-approach to focus on one piece of your overarching goal so you can stay focused on the day-to-day.
Setting your brand up for success means taking a thorough look at what makes training successful, here are a few ways I can help:
Training org. structure | E-learning strategy | Plug-and-play kits
Sales strategy | Certification systems

The three biggest mistakes brands make in learning strategy:
Hasty contracts.
Learning companies want to sell you solutions, but are you choosing the right one for your long term growth? I’ve built global teams and award winning-LMS systems from the ground up. Find out how I can help your learning ecosystem elements go beyond coexisting and start synergizing.
Premature hiring.
In my experience, hiring a team member because you need to fill an open position doesn’t set you, the team, or the company up for success. Teams built with clearly defined expectations in mind help bolster intrinsic motivation…a key to employee and company satisfaction.
ROI?
Building KPI’s that tell a deeper story help prevent you from overspending on things that won’t move the needle. Articulating Training spend is difficult, but I’ve built strategies that help companies diversify spend while increasing reach. Speaking of reach… reach out to learn how I can help

Case Study: The Honest Company
While I’ve built training strategies for various consumer packaged goods brands, this case study is for The Honest Company.
The Honest Company hired me to build a blueprint for their US-based Honest Beauty Field team to intertwine digital and live trainings. The overarching strategy resulted in a combination of digital training, including videos and e-learning paired with a strategic store visit system that mirrored the impact to the bottom line. Plus I created a qualitative and quantitative template for the in-store team to action on. What made this relationship so successful was the openness of the broader team to have transparent conversations about the in house capabilities and desired outcome over the course of the year.
Give me a place to start and I will investigate and cultivate meaningful conversations with your team to consider a full picture solution to inform your strategy.
