Meet the facilitators

Rance Greene, founder of needastory.com and the School of Story Design, hosts three learning leaders who are in the business, doing the work of humanizing the learning process. Expect practical, people-centered solutions for every facet of learning from intake of requests to consulting to delivering results. You'll be actively involved in breakout rooms and the main room, critically thinking about some of the most persistent problems that L&D faces. Possibly, the most important 2 hours of professional development of your year!

"The pain of not fully connecting with business stakeholders is real. We must take action with strategic and practical relationship-building skills. Empower yourself to be the consultant that your organization needs you to be."

Moe Ash

Human Development Catalyst
The Catalyst
""Advocating for our partners' success is the bread & butter of our craft – and who doesn't love a good sandwich? We'll spread the jam of knowledge, layer on the cheese of performance-building, and top it all off with a healthy dose of communication & bonding. Get ready to sink your teeth into a mouthwatering meal!"

"I have grown fond of "shared language models" and how learning that our languages are different, but can be translated if we take the time to make those connections is invaluable in gaining the trust of your stakeholders and peers."
