Fun
“The fun in this - in addition to working with my awesome team,” says Karla, “is getting the results of a training instance.”

Results comes in the form of evaluation data, which is imperative to describe impact. “The world is addicted to data. We all have to prove success.”

Leadership

Kind words from my wonderful clients
"Karla is a highly intelligent educator and gifted communicator, who brings great insight and real life work experience to the table. She is extremely supportive to the adult learner, making accommodations when necessary, while holding students to a high standard."
"Karla is an exceptional partner. She came to me with a proposal to start an educational initiative in the Elder Care Market in partnership with Lasell College. This has been very successful and has led Lasell to improve many of its internal systems and consider this type of initiative as a new market. Her ability to gain access to thought leaders in this field and develop programming that is necessary, challenging, topical and targeted is inspiring. She is a problem solver and has an acute sense of the market and how to best meet the needs of her clients."
