Learning By Design

Where Instruction Meets Coaching


I designed a custom learning experience to extend my coaching work with startups and small businesses.

The experiences introduced Toyota Kata, scientific thinking, and continuous improvement through practical, interactive activities.

I used them with entrepreneurs and community partners to turn coaching concepts into tools they could apply independently.


Fast Feedback
= Good Coaching

 I learned by coaching entrepreneurs, start-ups and small businesses to design feedback loops that meet the learners in the moment and give coaches something real to work with afterward.


I weave feedback into my courses both as immediate coaching responses and summaries at the end of courses when the bigger picture comes into view.


Coaching in the moment.

Clarity at the end.


Meeting the Moment

Immediate feedback lands the moment a learner answers. Reinforcing good instinct and reframing a wrong turn right away.

A Mirror For Both Sides

Learner-facing feedback turns answers into a personal reflection.

Instructor-facing feedback rolls that up a level, showing what's resonating across the whole group.

Momentum Over Time

For the learner, it's growth. For the coach, it's a pattern that guides the next step.
