About Me Blog

Hi there! I’m Cristin!

Put simply, I'm passionate about making it easier for employees to excel in their roles 🎯

For the "un-simplified" version of what I do, click below!

"Un-simplified" version, please!

Specialities

Learning Design

When I talk about learning design, I’m talking about more than a well-illustrated e-learning. What does your entire training program look like from start to finish?

ROI on Learning Programs

Have you embedded steps to ensure that you can collect learning data that will help you craft your story about the ROI of the program? How are you proving your L&D worth to the business?

‘Flow of Work’ Application

A training program is only as good as the skills that your employees come back to their desks with. How confident are you they will adopt their new skills in the flow of their work?

My Experience

Manager, Learning & Development

In my current role, I support the Sales Operations and Commercial Development Team (200+ employees nationwide) as the Manager of Learning and Development. By combining technology with my experience in adult learning and sales-capability improvement, I design and implement learning and development solutions that achieve business results.

Training Design Specialist

In this position, I was responsible for designing, developing and implementing e-learning education courses and training content materials for over 90+ hotels, including Marriot, Hyatt, and more. I also oversaw the management of a library of 130+ unique training courses for 12+ departments and 50+ job roles.

Manager of Training

At The Container Store, I helped to create, develop and design training materials for employee education and development alongside the corporate team. At the store level, I facilitated and coordinated the roll-out of various new products, including their luxury Custom Closets line, now core to their business. I was also a part of the National New Store Opening Training Team, opening new stores and training new associates across the nation.

Training Instructor/Lead Teacher

Being a Pure Barre training instructor for the last 7 years has been a terrific complement to my career as an instructional designer and adult learning specialist. In this position, I ‘facilitate’ (AKA lead, coach and guide a class of 26 clients) through fitness classes that last between 45 – 90 minutes. With 1,000+ classes taught, this experience has helped mold my facilitation and presentation skills to become a confident, articulate and enthusiastic public speaker.
