About Sharon
I am an enterprise learning strategist and organizational development leader with over 20 years of impact across healthcare, higher education, and corporate sectors. My areas of expertise include agility, associate experience, change management, coaching & mentoring, consumer-centered training, culture transformation, experiential learning, human-centered design, leadership development, organizational effectiveness, systems thinking, and team performance.
I hold a PhD in Leadership Studies and am currently finishing a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD), combining advanced research in leadership with deep expertise in human behavior and psychological well-being. This dual focus allows me to design and deliver learning experiences that are both strategically aligned and grounded in the science of how people think, feel, and grow.
With a background that bridges executive coaching, curriculum innovation, and large-scale transformation through effective program management, I design learning that rewires the brain and accelerates results. I lead with empathy and precision, integrating neuroscience, equity, and strategic alignment to scale development across diverse, matrixed environments. Whether evolving a learning ecosystem or guiding frontline teams through change, I blend vision with execution to build cultures of curiosity, care, and capability.
New Manager Training
The New Manager Training course equips first-time managers with the foundational skills and knowledge necessary to lead effectively. Whether new to leadership or transitioning into a management role, this course will provide practical tools and techniques to foster team success, manage performance, and build positive relationships.
New Manager Training Workbook Sample
The Workbook: New Manager Training is designed to complement the new manager training course and provide practical tools, exercises, and reflection prompts to help new managers apply key concepts to their daily roles. This workbook guides managers through essential skills such as setting goals, building relationships, managing teams, and giving feedback. By engaging with the workbook, managers will better understand their responsibilities and be better equipped to lead their teams effectively.
Leadership and Coaching Course
This course offers learners a comprehensive, relevant perspective on leadership and coaching leaders. While the course provides grounding in important concepts, it also stresses application to professional and community settings. Learners have an opportunity to practice in groups. Learners analyze concepts such as leading as an interactive process, leading with innovation and creativity, escaping from embedded practices, and embracing new leadership principles. This course provides learners with a contemporary study of leadership and developing leadership in others.
Leadership and Coaching Workbook
This workbook accompanies the leadership course. I created this in Canva and then published it as a PDF.
Foundations of Analytical Writing Curriculum Guide
This course provides learners with essential skills for effective analytical writing, suitable for both academic and professional contexts. Through engaging asynchronous materials, learners will explore key concepts in analytical writing, develop critical thinking, and practice writing structured, evidence-based arguments.
Leadership & Learning Design Portfolio
I am deeply passionate about unlocking potential in people and organizations. As a leadership consultant and learning designer, my mission is to create environments where individuals thrive, teams collaborate effectively, and organizations achieve sustainable success. I believe that growth is most powerful when it is intentional, inclusive, and rooted in practical, data-informed strategies.

with Microlearning:
Boosting Engagement and Retention
This ebook presents the importance of integrating microlearning to improve retention and overcome the forgetting curve.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Instructional Video
This video is an introduction to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. This is an instructional video that I made on the topic of PTSD. This will give you an idea of my presentation skills and ability to deliver web-based training. I am very comfortable providing instruction on a variety of topics.
Storyboard Examples
These storyboards were developed for a project that I completed in 2020. A storyboard is a detailed planning document used in instructional design to visually and sequentially map out the structure, content, and flow of a learning solution before it is developed. It serves as a blueprint that aligns instructional goals, multimedia elements, and learner experience across formats such as e-learning courses, videos, job aids, and instructor-led training.
