Patti Shank

Designer, analyst, author, and facilitator who writes about evidence-based workplace learning. Coaches trainers, instructional designers, instructors, and experts to build valuable instruction. New books: Write and Organize for Deeper Learning and Practice and Feedback for Deeper Learning, on Amazon.

Typical work includes analyzing learning environments and what is needed to make them work well (too much of what is done is ineffective or nonsense), researching, analyzing, and writing about what evidence (especially training, performance support, technology, and information design) says offers the best outcomes. I work with clients with hard training and performance problems and help L&D practitioners grow their skills via workshops and mentoring.
