Consulted with a variety of organizations (Colloquy 360, Kaplan University, B/E Aerospace, ARAMARK Corporation, EDMC (Education Management Corporation) and ScotiaBank) designing online and in-class learning opportunities. For the referenced companies, I delivered the following: program re-design, e-learning storyboarding, enterprise onboarding program materials, “Generations in the Workplace” and “Diversity and Inclusion” workshops.Feedback from ARAMARK:"I wanted to follow up with you regarding the Generations module and let you know it was really great to see in action! I realize you created it months ago but I just had the opportunity to see it facilitated a week or so ago and it was really well received. There was great conversation and it was really amazing how different the millenials were from every other generation. The audience was made up of beginning (relatively inexperienced) managers and I think it was the first time they had a chance to hear first-hand what the different generations were like and what they needed in a work situation. There were great insights – I could literally see the light bulbs going off for some folks. Hopefully they will take what they learned and apply it back in the work place. I’ll stop gushing now and just say thank you again for a great module! MBHARAMARK - Leadership DevelopmentProgram Manager, Global Talent Management
