all things learning,
brand & culture.
Learning, brand & culture may seem separate, but they’re deeply connected:
Learning shapes how we grow. Brand shapes how we show up. Culture shapes how we work together.
This intersection is my sweet spot: where teams find clarity, people feel belonging, and businesses build something meaningful.

Human-Centered Onboarding
🙋♂️ Ever felt imposter syndrome on Day One of a new job? You're not alone — 65% of us have, 22% say it dragged down our first-week performance, and ~50% experienced some sort of physio-emotional response 🥴 (Forbes)… So what to do about it?
Community Exploration: The Human Side Of A.I. In L&D
It was refreshing — and, candidly, moving — to have real conversations about everything from excitement to the nerves people might feel around AI. Using Sana’s state-of-the-art product, we surfaced the feelings, insights + real conversations many of us are having with our teams about integrating AI into learning & collaboration.
Changing Our Systems
“…Without embedding new behaviors into the system — not just the tech, but the way people actually work together — old patterns will snuff out even the best new approaches.”
The A.I. First Leader (Partnership W/ Sana)
This evening promises to be pretty fantastic: a beautiful venue, an exciting brand at a big moment in it’s journey, an intriguing topic, an engaging format + the brilliant minds of our Berlin L&D community.
a favorite question
“My experience is that this question communicates that I'm sincerely interested in the whole person (which I am), not just how they earn a living. And when folks feel like their entire person is valued, they show up remarkably differently when collaborating.”
Honoring Diversity Of Experience During Change
“During organizational change, it's easy for groupthink to creep in: teammates may assume everyone feels the same level of stress based on the loudest opinion in the room -- or even their leader's anxiety. The danger here is leaders can mistakingly apply a one-size-fits-all approach to meaningfully meeting teams where they are.” This simple exercise can help explore nuances within your team.
