Three things I bring
to every engagement.

🎯

Strategic Thinking

I diagnose before I design. Half the time, the real problem isn't a training problem at all.

🧠

Learning Science

Every decision is grounded in cognitive science — spaced practice, retrieval, cognitive load, scenario fidelity.

⚙️

Technical Execution

I build it myself. Storyline 360, Rise, video, job aids — from storyboard to SCORM-packaged delivery.

When the Algorithm Is Wrong

When the Algorithm Is Wrong

C-suite leaders were over-trusting AI outputs. A compliance course would have changed nothing. A judgment simulation did.

Leaders practiced judgment calls before facing them live

Performance Support

Trained. Certified. Blank.

Staff knew the 47-page SOP. They still froze at point-of-performance. The answer wasn't more training.

Staff could find and apply the right response without leaving the floor

The Conversation You've Been Avoiding

61% of direct reports said their manager avoided difficult feedback. A video about feedback wasn't going to fix that.

Managers practiced difficult conversations before having them with real staff

MATTERS CBE — Training of Trainers

Field practitioners across Kenya were certified but couldn't adapt content when the room stopped responding. Knowledge transfer wasn't the problem. Facilitation capacity was.

Trainers completed structured field practice before certifying — two cohorts across Kenya

Measuring Whether Learning Actually Worked

Most programme evaluations measure completion rates and satisfaction scores. Neither tells you if anything changed on Monday morning. Here's the evaluation architecture I use instead.

How I think about
learning problems.

Short, sharp essays on why most corporate training fails — and what to do about it.

Let's talk about
the actual problem.

Not the training request. The performance gap. Tell me what people are doing vs. what they should be doing — I'll tell you honestly what will fix it.
