How effective is your training?

Need training off your plate and done?

Let us help you get there.

You really need to get this training done but it feels challenging for you and your team. Lack of clarity or time pressures might be holding you back. We’ll help you figure out how to optimize existing training, build new training or develop a winning training strategy. We have a proven process to take you from idea to training that’s done AND amazing.

How We Can Help You

We take the time to learn about you, your organization and your learners. This helps us create strategy and training that leans into learning science. Your training will move beyond knowledge sharing so learners will acquire the skills and mindsets they need to succeed. Here are the powerful ways we can help you on your journey.

Our end-to-end solution moves your project through training design, development, pilot and evaluation to move the project to completion.

Training Roadmap Session

We help you map the way forward.

Whether it’s creating new training or optimizing existing training, we help you discern what’s required to bring your training ideas to life. We’ll work with you to determine a project plan that will actually work. Your plan will clarify how to optimize new or existing training. We’ll provide you with recommendations that will save you time, money and frustration.

Needs Discovery: What training do you really need?

We connect with your people to figure out what they need so your training is successful.

Figuring out what training you need can be a back burner priority. You know it’s important but finding the time can feel challenging. We use a data-driven approach to identify and prioritize what training is needed. This process can be in-depth or very simple depending on your needs. We engage critical stakeholders to identify what training is needed, wanted and possible. Other data points can include critical incident reviews and organizational KPI’s and performance gaps.

Curriculum Design - What To Teach?

We guide you to figure out what to teach in a way others will get it.

It sounds like a simple question but it’s more complicated. Sifting through massive topic lists can be overwhelming. We guide you to discern what is nice to teach vs what is necessary. We often feel like we’re not doing a good job if we’re not giving learners everything we want them to know right out of the gate. The truth is, we can’t expect learners to become competent in topics it takes others years to master. Narrowing expertise in a way others will get it is a deeply valuable discussion because you need to:

1

Avoid learner overwhelm

2

Present topics in an optimal order for learning

3

Meet learners at the level they’re at

4

Balance teaching knowledge and skill development

5

Address affective learning (thoughts, attitudes, beliefs) is ignored

6

Clarify the tasks and decision-making skills to include in training

7

Review critical incidents inform training topics

Learner Experience Design (LXD) - How to Teach?

Our LXD helps you save time and money by building training that works.

LXD involves a synthesis of instructional design, curriculum design, psychology, neuroscience, pedagogy, and design thinking. LXD considers the lesson but also the instructor, learner, their peers, and the learning environment. We take training from concept to prototyping, design, development and production oversight. We help you avoid mismatched strategies to training goals. Our LXD optimizes the learning experience for success by providing:

1

Learner-centered design and journey mapping

2

SME collaboration for content development

3

Competency-based skill development and tool selection

4

Experiential learning and retention strategies

5

Microlearning, just-in-time training, and micro-credentials

6

Self-directed vs. instructor-led training

7

Optimizing delivery format and multimedia integration

8

Prototyping, evaluation and piloting

Technology & Innovation

We help you select technology that works for you and your learners.

Technology can create innovative learning experiences when properly leveraged. For learning tech to be successful, we need to consider it from the perspective of learners, instructors and administrators. We also need to avoid inadvertently creating tech-barriers to learning. We’re constantly evaluating new learning technology that best meets the needs of the organizations that partner with us:

1

Developing training for your LMS

2

Elearning Authoring via Articulate (SCORM)

3

Assess organizational technology needs for learning to find a strong tech-solution and budget fit.

4

Consider tech skills and tech gaps for intended learner groups

5

Advocate for tech support for learners.

Jennifer Summerfeldt

MACP, CCC Therapist|Coach|Author|Speaker
Founder of JS Coaching Group Inc. + ASK Therapy

Working with Ernestina was a game changer for my course development. Ernestina helped draw out my expertise and distill it down so that the learner can apply it. I learned how important it is to not just ‘teach’ what I know, but to help my learners embody what I am teaching. This was a shift in learning perspective that has inspired me to create more courses.

Suicide Prevention and Lived Experience Advocate

The course turned out very well in the end, and it would never have reached the level of quality that it did without Ernestina’s guidance.

Professor of Surgery, University of Alberta Medical Director, CASES

Ernestina brought a wealth of knowledge about adult education, training and program development. She collaboratively translated our surgical expertise with more clarity for our program participants, faculty and staff. This resulted in increased learner engagement and saved our team, time and stress.

Dr. Christine M. Carter

M.D., FRCPC, Psychiatry

Ernestina’s expertise in curriculum and adult learning supported our development of a trauma-informed care seminar for senior psychiatry residents. She helped us move past the challenge of bringing our knowledge and clinical experience to the residents in an engaging way. She helped us define and achieve specific learning outcomes. She addressed our knowledge gaps in the use of technology so we could present the seminar effectively. Ernestina’s enthusiasm and confidence were contagious as she was a pleasure to work with.

It’s a true pleasure to say a few words regarding Ernestina’s expertise. She is very capable in helping people like myself. We know a subject quite well but really benefit from leveraging Ernestina’s experience and education to provide an amazing educational experience for your clients. She is also a true joy to work with. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Laurin Mooney

RN MS Founder of Speaking IN

I had two huge challenges Ernestina and Uplift Learning helped me overcome. Although an innovator, I am not a teacher or trainer. I needed total support to adapt my speaking IN® strategy into an engaging training that would “stick” with learners. Secondly, the elearning part was overwhelming but Ernestina is a veteran at assessing what will work best. Working with Uplift was fun! Processes that I initially dreaded now are comfortable and productive. I am no longer an innovator without an offer for the world. The transformation to elearning provided by Uplift is what makes my life work capable of impact.
