“Linda played an instrumental part in the InfoPro software conversion roll-out. She did a great job in managing and facilitating the train-the-trainer boot camp for the nationwide trainers, and project managed and developed the end–user training manuals and eLearning reference material. The quality of the product and the training would not have been as high without her involvement, dedication and guidance. She is an impact player and made the difference between a good job and a great one.”
Doug Borro, Vice
President, Program Management, Operations, Allied Waste
“In a very short period of time, Linda interviewed key employees and provided HireRight with an in-depth, strategic report on HireRight’s product education for employees, partners and customers. Her suggestions for incremental improvements were insightful and we are following up on many of her suggestions, such as eLearning and LMS implementation. Her performance was beyond my expectation.”
Lisa Gallagher, Vice President Operations, HireRight, Inc.
“Linda brought her extensive experience in corporate education to Allied Waste, and spear-headed a Train-the-trainer program that produced in-field trainers from non-trainer subject matter experts using a variety of tools such as lessons in training, teach-back practice sessions and recorded product tutorials as reference. She also managed the production of well-received end-user manuals and in-field kits. She has raised the bar for product training at Allied.”
Steve Jensen, Chief Learning Officer, Allied Waste
“As the ECG project manager, Linda played a key leadership role on a nation-wide roll-out of the InfoPro customer relationship management software product. This involved extensive refinement and tailoring of the instructor and participant materials, training and certifying of instructors and interface at the client stakeholder levels. For example, the Camtasia recordings were a stroke of genius that shortened the development cycle and left the client breathless. The product quality was exceptional given the compressed timelines.”
Doyle W. Young, Managing Director, EverChange Group
“We thoroughly enjoyed Linda’s presentation entitled instructor best practices at our instructor conference. Her talk was engaging and she gave some the very experienced ILT instructors some fresh ideas on how to WOW the students and to keep the most resistant students engaged.”
