Lexington, Ma

I used an audience-centric approach as an instructional designer, facilitator, subject matter expert, and advisor to clients. What I mean by audience-centric is that I always modified my design and facilitation based on the audience - whether advising clients, training facilitators, or coaching and facilitating programs for participants. I developed several new programs for Ariel’s product roadmap on subjects including personal brand, storytelling, sales presence, manager-as-coach. In developing those new programs I designed and conducted train-the-trainer sessions for new programs and facilitator development. Additionally, I created and facilitated a new onboarding curriculum and product knowledge education programs for the Ariel sales team.
