Making Amazing Training. Together.

Helping you feel confident your training is awesome while saving you time and money.  

How effective is your training?

You’re not meant to do this alone.

Have you ever thought training isn’t creating the long-term changes and results you were hoping to see? You might be thinking….

The hard truth is that learners don’t need more content. They need experiences that help them remember and build competence so they can succeed and contribute to your organization’s success. Learner experience (LX) is everything.

If your training isn’t consistently delivering results and there isn’t a clear plan to optimize training, your people and bottom line will suffer.

Do you feel challenged by:

The overwhelm and pressure of not having enough time to create or optimize the training you need to deliver

Wondering how well your training works

Worrying your training isn’t delivering ROI

Diagnosing what’s not working and why

Hearing learners say they ‘like’ training but nothing changes after training

Wasting time and money on strategies that don’t work

You shouldn’t have to waste time and money guessing how to make training awesome when there’s already a proven plan that can work for you and your organization. Our training development process is a proven process for organizations who are serious about developing training that works.

Ernestina Malheiro

M.A. Learning & Technology
Founder, Resilience Champion, Educationalist

When it comes to education, Ernestina is passionate about helping instructors and learners have great experiences online. She mentors and leads the Uplift Learning Inc. team in training innovation.  She wants to change the training conversation from “What’s wrong with learners?” to “How can design help learners succeed?”

In her educational practice, Ernestina’s worked with diverse clients developing and optimizing training for in-person, e-learning and blended delivery. Her M.A. research about learning and technology deeply explored how to develop and deliver online and blended (online and in-person) training. Ernestina has watched e-learning evolve and grow for 20+ years. She developed her first online course as a multimedia design student in 2001. 

Her work has touched 150,000 people using six different learning management systems. She’s strategized and implemented eLearning for organizations with 25,000 to 90,000 employees. Her clients come from dozens of different specialties. She’s worked with scientists, surgeons, storytellers, researchers, mental health professionals, nurses and refugees – just to name a few. She’s spent hundreds of hours observing countless professionals do their work to answer one critical question:

What are we teaching? Experts often find it difficult to narrow down what they know in a way others will get it. Ernestina shines when she helps them find new ways of making sense of what they know to empower others in their learning journeys. .

Ernestina has spent a lot of time listening to the challenges professionals and organizations face in developing online programs. She’s guided them through the challenges and offered evidence-based solutions that work time and time again. Her teaching strategies help people learn complex topics in a straightforward manner in less time and with less frustration. See the case studies page to learn more about our recent projects.

How We Do It Differently

Our work is infused by the power of brain and learning science. We craft learner experiences that go beyond knowledge to embrace developing skills, thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. We recognize the value of delivering traditional knowledge training. At the same time, we’re passionate about sharing when it works, when it falls short, or when it’s counterproductive. We also discern the moments when self-directed training or bite-sized learning are most beneficial. For complex subjects, our training strategies are designed for long-term learner success. Weaving engaging interactions among peers, facilitators, and content sparks our curiosity and innovation. We firmly believe information alone doesn’t lead to transformation; true transformation occurs when learners are supported in the practical application of their newfound knowledge.

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.

Wesley Jones

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.

The quality of work provided by Uplift Learning is excellent, and they worked with us to ensure our needs were met at every step of the process. Highly recommend working with Uplift Learning for your organizational learning and development needs.

Dr. Daniel W. Birch, M.D

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.

Dr. Tammy Hugie

M.D., RRCP(C), Psychiatry Community Psychiatrist

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.
