The Adoption Problem

Most companies spend millions deploying ERP systems, then lose that investment because nobody designed how people would actually learn to use them. The software works. The training doesn't.

[01 / LANGUAGE & CULTURE]

Cross-Border Training Design

I taught French, Spanish, and English to adult learners across India, France, and the UK — which taught me more about how adults actually learn than any certification. I design training that accounts for cultural context, linguistic difference, and the real conditions of distributed teams.

[02 / LXD FRAMEWORKS]

High-Adoption Learning Design

Completion rates are not behavior change. I apply LXD principles and the CLEAR Method to ERP rollouts and remote onboarding, designing the conditions that make new skills stick — and measuring outcomes that actually matter.

// WHAT I DO

Services

Every engagement starts from the transformation you're trying to create, then works backwards. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Learning Architecture for Remote & Global Teams

Your team is distributed across cultures and time zones. I design the system — onboarding flows, async learning structures, ERP rollouts — that holds together across that complexity. Getting a global team to actually adopt a new platform is a learning design problem before it's anything else.

B2B CONSULTING

Diagnostic call — map cultural contexts, friction points, and learning gaps

Learning audit — review current onboarding, training materials, and async tools

Architecture design — blueprint with sequencing, modality choices, and alignment touchpoints

Implementation support — guide rollout, tooling, and iteration cycles

Review + handoff — 30-day check-in with documentation your team runs independently

Course & Program Design for Coaches and L&D Teams

You have the expertise. What you need is a structure that transfers it. I help coaches and L&D professionals build programs that create real behavior change — not content libraries people start and abandon.

B2B · COACHES

Outcome mapping — define the transformation your learner needs, work backwards from there

Curriculum architecture — module sequence, pacing, and modality mix (live, async, blended)

Content scaffolding — activities, reflection prompts, and behavior-change checkpoints

Async video setup — Loom, Zoom, and platform selection integrated into the design

Pilot and iteration — run with a small cohort, gather data, refine before scaling

// WHAT I BRING

Full-Stack Learning Operator

01 / CLEAR Method

A proprietary framework for designing learning that actually changes behavior. Context, Layering, Embodiment, Application, Reflection. Applied to every engagement — from ERP rollouts to coach program design.

+ Behavior-Change Architecture
+ Curriculum Sequencing
+ Outcome Measurement
+ Articulate Rise · eLearning Development

02 / Async Video Tools

Async video is one of the most underused levers in remote team training. When integrated into an LXD framework — using Loom, Zoom, or screen recording — it reduces meeting load and scales knowledge transfer without losing the human element.

+ Loom Playbooks & Walkthroughs
+ Async Module Architecture
+ Video-first Onboarding Design

03 / Project Management

IBM-certified project manager. I run L&D programs across time zones with documented sprint structures, stakeholder check-ins, and delivery timelines that hold. One point of contact. No coordination overhead.

+ Agile Sprint Management
+ Cross-timezone Delivery
+ Stakeholder Communication

04 / Teaching & Facilitation

I've taught French, Spanish, and English at university level and in corporate settings, and facilitated teamwork modules for professional teams. That classroom experience is the practical foundation of everything I apply to LXD work.

+ French · Spanish · English Instruction
+ Corporate Language Training
+ Teamwork & Soft Skills Facilitation

// HOW I THINK ABOUT THIS

Two ideas that run through every engagement.

[THE CLEAR METHOD]

Context · Layering · Embodiment · Application · Reflection

A framework for designing learning experiences that actually change behavior — not just measure completion. Built from years of designing programs across language acquisition, ERP onboarding, and corporate training. Every engagement I run uses it as the architecture layer underneath the content.

[CONDITIONS > CONTENT]

Most training programs spend 90% of their budget on content.

And almost nothing on the conditions that let learning take hold. A person doesn't change by receiving information. They change by being placed inside an experience that asks something of them. This is the design problem behind failed ERP adoption, abandoned courses, and onboarding that doesn't stick. It's the problem I fix.

The CLEAR Method in Practice

PROJECT: FRENCHLEAP (2022–2025)

Designing an Immersive Language Bootcamp from Scratch — Solo

I built FrenchLeap as a solo practitioner. I designed the curriculum, set up async content delivery, ran live cohort sessions, managed student onboarding, and handled operations — no team, no agency. The core design question was the same one I bring to every LXD engagement: what conditions does the learning experience need to create for adults to actually change their behavior? Multiple cohorts. Students across India, France, and the UK.

The methodology drew on neuro-cognitive research into how we actually acquire language. Not grammar rules. The conditions that let the brain drop its guard and learn the way it did in childhood — relaxed, immersive, low-stakes. Students moved from A0 or A1 to A2, A2 to B1, and B1 to B2 in significantly compressed timeframes. The design principle: recreate the childhood acquisition state, then layer structured application on top.
