"Advanced Solutions in Human Performance" Co-founder, lead, and visionary behind Spotlight Performance, an Atlanta based technology and performance improvement firm. Spearheaded the efforts to assemble team, design, develop, market-test, and launch a leading-edge enterprise learning platform. About Spotlight provides technology-based learning products and program development services. The centerpiece product is a dynamic role-playing simulator used to train oral communications and professional interactions. Clients include major hospitals, education institutions, corporations, and consulting vendors & channel partners. The Spotlight team pioneered one of the original webcam training technologies. This innovation represented a breakthrough in online delivery and enabled an entirely new set of learning tools and performance improvement programs. Partnering with industry leaders, Spotlight went on to develop, test, and bring to market a range of leading-edge solutions. Efforts include: * scenario training programs for VA hospital system nurses * an online communications lab concept for universities * a customized communications practice tool for Junior Achievement students * and other interactive training programs in sales, negotiations, interviewing, coaching, public-relations, and customer-service. The firm was organized to capitalize on the emerging potential of technology-enabled learning. Specifically, the founding vision was to leverage technology to migrate the practice approach used by athletes, musicians, and other professional performers into the workplace: “We set out to enable employees to practice communications the way they'd practice a tennis swing.”
