Hi, I’m René.
I’m a Certified Professional in Talent Development with over a decade of experience turning complex organizational challenges into high-impact learning strategy. I’ve partnered with leaders of teams of all sizes, from one person to large multinationals, to build learning and development solutions that drive measurable performance improvements.
My superpower is cutting through the noise. I translate disparate data and dense content into learning experiences that are uniquely human, immediately practical, and backed by the metrics that matter most to your business. Let’s build a strategy together that works.
Featured Sample Assets
Training Program Evaluation Dashboard
How do you know for sure that your training initiative worked? This Looker Studio dashboard for a consultative selling course uses the Philips ROI model to evaluate training impact beyond completion rates and satisfaction surveys.
Scenario: Accessible eLearning Design
We’ve all seen it: click-to-expand compliance training that is too dry to stick, based on guidelines and regulations that sound too complicated to apply in real life. This Articulate module immerses learners in a realistic management scenario that empowers them to take ownership of the content (in this case, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and how it is applied on the job.
Responsive Design: Navigating Data Privacy
Busy frontline teams often do not have the time to boot up a computer and sit down for a full eLearning course. This responsive microlearning module built in Articulate Rise, with assets created in Canva and Synthesia, can be taken anywhere, anytime, on nearly any device with a browser.
Scenario with Interactive Prototype: Mastering Inbound Calls
From idea to prototype in 1 hour! I used an iterative prompting process in Gemini to draft this roleplay scenario on objection handling. Then, I plugged it into Twine to create a dynamic storyboard so reviewers can easily explore branching paths without flipping around a linear slide deck.
Skills-based Assessment Dashboard
You’re writing next year’s global marketing talent development strategy based on a new capabilities framework. Where do you start? This interactive Looker Studio skills assessment dashboard lists the highest development priorities up front, allowing you to isolate skills gaps by region, country, and role level.
My Approach
As your learning strategy partner, I am in close contact with you through every step of the process. Every project begins with a discovery call focused on your business needs. Together, we will look at the situation and desired outcomes, using a variety of lenses to focus on the best solutions. Some of the questions we will explore include:
Current Situation
- What metric needs to change? How have you been measuring that?
- What is the root cause of this situation?
- What is already being done internally to move the dial? What has been done in the past?
- What challenges and roadblocks are getting in the way?
- What resources are available within the organization?
- Who are the stakeholders involved?
Desired Outcomes
- What does success look like?
- What specific behaviors, skills, or resources will drive change?
- Who will own and champion that success? Learners, their managers, decision-makers, etc.
- How do we know that we have achieved our goals?
- How will success be measured and reported?
- What is the expected timeline for change?
- How do we ensure that every learner succeeds?
- What do we need to keep the momentum going, after the initiative is over?
From there, I will work with you to develop a strategy and project plan: timelines, deliverables, implementation and communication plans, evaluations, and contingencies to create a clear path to success within your budget. While I build the solution, I remain in close contact with your team and deliver prototypes to ensure you are happy with the final version. Once the project is delivered and launched, we will evaluate the results together based on our strategy and make any necessary improvements.
- The Iceberg Model for systems thinking and discovering root causes to your business needs
- Philips ROI Model for evaluation, extending the traditional Kirkpatrick model (Reaction, Learning, Behavior, Results) to measure financial impact
- Bloom’s Taxonomy and the ABCD Approach for defining and clarifying behavioral learning objectives
- Agile Project Management and ADDIE for approaching and planning projects
- Adult Learning Principles and the Four-Door Model for structuring content and determining the learning modality
- Scenario-based Learning and Experiential Learning for applying content to the real world
- Many more!
These are just a few of the tools I have used to create powerful solutions for clients over the years. I also have experience administering and installing courses in several modern LMS/LCMS platforms, so I can build for what you use (and even help your IT team set it up, if necessary)!
