Hello,
I created this page to share with you the most important and effective strategies and frameworks for adult learning, professional development, training, onboarding, and content creation that I have learned and put to good use over the years. For well over a decade now I have not only been working in the field of learning and development and content creation in the corporate world, but I have also maintained a career as a tenured English professor, I know what gets taught in higher education and I know what works in the real world.

I’m here to share with you the thinking, creation, and communication strategies that work across all industries and many areas in your personal life to spur growth.
