• Experience in measuring training effectiveness, using frameworks like Kirkpatrick to track knowledge retention and application.
• Proficient stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage and influence leaders, subject matter experts, and end-users.
• Skilled coaching and facilitation abilities, with experience in supporting and upskilling subject matter experts to deliver effective training.
