About Tony Gilkinson

I have been 'on stage' for most of my life. From creating theatre for the neighborhood kids in my parent's garage, to performing on stages around the world, to directing musical theatre, to serving as a dynamic facilitator, instructional designer, a leader of learning and development teams, and most recently building my book of business for my side-hustle as a travel agent. All of these roles required an 'on stage' perspective, whether on was literally on the stage, facilitating workshops for audiences big and small, or maintaining a social media presence as a travel agent.. I have extensive experience in credit unions, healthcare, call centers, performance coaching, instructional design, implementations, curriculum development, facilitation, coaching, learning solutions, and alignment. Leverage analysis and communication skills to organize knowledge capital, implement web-based training, and interface with internal clients. Dedicated and detail-oriented producer who drives employee performance, closes knowledge gaps, and establishes training programs to increase performance and employee satisfaction while supporting company objectives.Specialties:StorytellingDynamic FacilitationBringing Employee Culture to LifeTraining with a BeatThe Welcome WagonDesigning Highly Engaging CurriculumCoaching with IntegrityDeveloping High Performing TeamsOn-boardingProblem SolvingManaging ChangeWorkforce PlanningManaging Knowledge SystemsManaging HRIS & Learning SystemsManaging Performance SystemsBreaking into song for no apparent reasonJuggling (literally & figuratively)
