WHAT I DO
I co-pilot Gravity Learning as we design, deliver, and oversee fantastic (ahem!) in-person and remote learning programs for mid and large organizations. We specialize in soft "people" skills, management, systems, software process, product, and compliance.

POINT OF VIEW
My belief is that all learning should be based in science, not trends or common knowledge. But, that's not enough. It must also be engaging, skill-focused, and measured to the point of "proof". Learning without measurement is just a wish.

And... fun. Let's have fun while we're here on this Earth.

WHO I AM
I've been a bit of an obsessive generalist my whole life. An insatiable desire to learn, grow, and share learning with others has come in handy in the learning industry. I nerd out on learning and how humans work, project management, time management, emotional management, classroom management, people management, and... basically all of the managements. If I had to pick a favorite, my main area of interest is the exquisite art of teaching and learning design.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
A Gravity, we solve problems inherent in the way companies traditionally do learning. We do that by focusing on how humans actually learn AND how business decisions are made. We’ve innovated a multi-touch and ROI focused approach to learning that Gravity uses to build and support workshops. I also thought-partner to help supercharge (and sometimes totally revamp) internal learning departments for our clients.

TRIVIA
I ride a Onewheel electric skateboard around the neighborhood like some kind of teenager. I have three wonderful dogs and one of them is named David Lieberman Junior. My Google Fu is strong.
