Linda B. Learning

Throughout my career, I had been recruited by several leading tech companies to help my colleagues elevate and produce innovative learning content and technologies. After helping more than 20 tech clients and hundreds of colleagues, I realized that working within a given tech company limited how many teams, people and bottom lines I could impact. I wanted to help more teams to be successful and more companies to be innovative in the learning space. While working as a learning strategy consultant for a learning technology company, I recognized that it was the innovations that I was pitching to clients on sales calls that landed new clients for this company. It was then on the dev team to deliver on the innovation. When I was empowered to work directly with the assigned dev teams and coach them through my process, we were able to produce remarkable solutions in dramatically less time while at the same time creating innovations that the company hadn’t done before. But if I wasn’t directly involved after the contracts were signed, the dev teams followed their usual processes, took longer and ended up producing products that missed the mark. It then became apparent to me that the secret sauce was my “do it with you” approach where I work directly with the dev team and coach them through my rapid development innovation process. I realized that this is what I had done in several of my previous roles, and that it would be entirely possible for me to focus on this approach as a consultant coaching internal teams and teaching them my process by doing it with them. Many of my clients have been previously burned by scope creep, wasted effort and extra expense when hiring vendors or using internal teams for high-profile learning projects. My ability to provide expert advice and co-create solutions with teams empower them to solve the problems at hand. My passion for the work and drive for results enable them to ship high-quality learning solutions on compressed schedules.
