Offerings to My Clients
I would love to partner with your organization to become a learning organization.
Learning organizations place a high priority on the education of their employees and give them time, space and resources to make that happen. Learning organizations provide more than a couple of training opportunities. They want their employees to engage in learning everyday. They want learning to be a part of what they do every day while they work, not just when they are away from work, attending classes or engaging with online learning modules.
Learning Ecosystem
First I assess your current learning ecosystem and determine what opportunities, assets and resources your employees have to help them learn. Then I assess where you want your organization to be in five years.
Pedagogy
I evaluate what type of pedagogy will work in your unique culture. I decide what type of learning ecosystem supports that pedagogy. Then I look at what you currently have vs. what you need and get to work making it happen!
Learning Solutions
I specialize in engaging and meaningful formal learning as well as informal learning. I believe they go hand in hand and make a 'complete learning experience' that drives behavior change.
The Learning Experience
For learning to be effective, we need to make sure that the learning experience is comprehensive and provides a "just in time/need" approach.

I took the Creative Instructional Design Course back in 2014 as an introduction to the Learning and Development industry.
As Manager of Talent Solutions at SweetRush, my job consists of finding and supplying experienced L&D professionals (mostly Instructional Designers) for our clients. This course was key for me in order to understand what IDs do, how they think, and what makes a great ID. This has contributed over the years in my ability to assess accurately whether candidates would be able to perform and excel at a given position successfully.

As an expert in online learning, Cheryl is a careful steward in the whole learning development process. She is a great teacher and easy to work with. Always interested in how different people learn in different ways, Cheryl brought her experience to bear at PBS, making sure that courses developed not only delivered insights, but were compelling and fun. Her attention to detail and "can-do" approach are inspiring. I look forward to more opportunities to partner with her.
