106: Strategic and Intentional Learning Consulting with Dr. Carrie Graham

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Carrie Graham about how to consult with intention in the learning space, specifically how to treat clients and organizations with patience, respect, and grace when you begin work with them and have to tell them they're doing things wrong or poorly. 

With 25+ years of experience in instructional design and a PhD in adult/workplace learning, Dr Carrie Graham consistently transformed organizational training into measurable business growth. Her research and hands-on work with businesses has proven that effective learning strategies directly impact bottom-line results. After observing countless workplace training programs fail to deliver ROI, Dr Graham developed the ERA Training Method—a strategic framework that improves client training outcomes by 90% while accelerating business development. Business leaders who implement my methodologies report significant improvements in team performance, operational efficiency, and ultimately, revenue growth. Dr Graham's expertise helps companies identify training-related barriers to expansion and implement solutions that align learning initiatives with strategic business objectives. She's guided organizations through critical growth phases by ensuring their teams develop the exact capabilities needed to support scaling operations.

Carrie's suggestion for someone getting started with consulting to try an focus in their strategy/vision? The best resource is your mind -- you have to understand your own process and document it so that you can implement it.
