Do I need a consultation if I already know what training I need?
The short answer is "Yes." You may, in fact, know exactly what you need. But knowing the topic you need to train on, and knowing the instructional design methodology required to make that training effective are two different things. The initial consultation will allow us to align on expectations and make sure you're getting the solution your learners truly need.
How do you customize your services for niche companies?
Customization is the foundation of good instructional design. By doing a thorough analysis of your organization's goals, needs, and aspirations, we can create a plan that is tailored to your learners and that supports your overall strategy.

Yes I can. I will review how you've been conducting training, learn what your priorities are, and assess the resources that you have. Working within those parameters I can advise you on a realistic, achievable training plan.
