Maybe you are already working on training or educational type of projects but want to apply a more systemic approach that brings you more satisfaction and a clear line of sight of your impact on the organization and learners

​

Maybe you are asked to develop learning solutions in your role rather than create content, but you don’t have the time nor the tools to make that mindset shift and provide value to your team and organization?

​

Maybe you are transitioning professional, that has done all the nice and shiny homework“portfolio creation, interview prep, sample projects, learned the jargon and the theory..”
