  Jun 2016 - Apr 2017

  Workshop Facilitator and Web Based Discussion Host

  Studio 5 was launched to disrupt the world of learning and development. We are design enthusiasts who want to redefine how people think and engage with learning solutions. Solutions that drastically impact the heart of their organization, the employees. Studio 5 is a destination for teams and organizations to come and seek guidance on how they can define and redefine what their learning and development experience looks like. We believe the learning process should not only be fun, but engaging and slightly messy. We recognize our philosophy and style might not be the perfect match for everyone, and that’s ok. Organizations that are ready to work with us not only understand but value the journey to uphold the integrity of a high-performance team. Show less
