Hi.
I’m Allyson.
I design learning and performance solutions that change behavior at scale and accelerate business impact.
It’s not about learning. It’s what learning unlocks.
Most leaders don’t actually want “training”. They want what training makes possible:
- Employees spotting phishing attempts before finance loses 260k
- Technicians installing products correctly the first time
- Managers who can coach instead of micromanage
- New hires who feel equipped, confident, and welcome
- Staff who use AI proficiently to support high quality outcomes
Setting employees up for success is paramount, because when people thrive, the business succeeds.
The idea may be simple, but in practice it is quite complex. This is why training methods that focus simply on informing often produce poor results. We’ve all been there: mindlessly clicking through page after page of text and hoping the multiple choice questions at the end will be easy to guess. Or worse – sitting in a workshop where the presenter reads every slide aloud!
Ultimately, we must prioritize the fundamental needs of the business over the delivery of content. Our goal must be to transform, not just inform. Real impact doesn’t come just from what we know – it comes from what we do.
Experience That Scales
I’ve worked with organizations across finance, manufacturing, cybersecurity, healthcare, education, and the nonprofit sector – often in highly regulated or complex environments.
This Includes:
- Building end-to-end global compliance and security programs completed by 30,000+ learners
- Learning deployed across multiple countries and languages
- Supporting safe adoption of emerging technologies, including GenAI
- Designing solutions for international, cross-functional teams
Click on each case study to learn more:
- Sales enablement: Empowering teams to sell complex technical products
- Compliance: Designing mandated training that makes a measurable difference
- Onboarding: Elevating the standard of performance for new team members
- Process improvement: Improving operational efficiency in critical processes
My Process
Step 1
Define the business goal(s)
Step 2
Identify the behaviors needed to achieve the goal(s)
Step 3
Map the current state, collecting data as needed, to identify needs
Step 3
Design and develop a solution or interventions to close the gap
Sometimes, the end result is a learning program. Sometimes it’s a change to processes, tools, communication, or the environment. Often, it’s a combination.
What I Bring To The Table
- Behavioral Science & Adult Learning: A deep understanding of how people learn, change and sustain new behaviors.
- Measurable Results: Experience translating theory into interventions that support desired business outcomes.
- Data-Informed Iteration: A data-informed approach that builds feedback loops for continuous improvement.
- Creativity & Flexibility: Thoughtful, creative design that respects human motivation, emotion and context.
