VerityLearn partners with organizations to break through complexity, modernize how their people learn, and accelerate performance in a world where human capability and AI now work side-by-side.

We work closely beside you to build a learning and leadership capability engine that actually changes how your people lead, learn, and deliver work, so you see clearer decisions, stronger leaders, and better results across your organization.

We work with small to mid-sized organizations and select larger enterprises where performance is driven by people, leadership, and learning.

We’re a strong fit for:

• Growing organizations burdened by fragmented, outdated learning systems.

• Leaders under pressure to show real, measurable business impact from learning.

• Organizations in need of consistent leadership behavior, strong culture, and a healthy pipeline.

• Teams overwhelmed by manual, time-consuming work and legacy tools.

• Organizations facing critical skill gaps that need learning to accelerate capability and performance.

• Organizations ready to integrate AI but unsure where to begin.

• Professionals who want learning embedded into their daily work, not piled on top.

If you’re looking to simplify complexity, modernize learning, and use AI responsibly to help your people do their best work, you’re in the right place.

We partner with you to fix what’s confusing, upgrade what’s outdated, and build the leadership and learning capability your strategy needs.

We do that through four core service lines:

Consulting
We bring clarity to messy systems and ecosystems—modernizing tools, workflows, and learning operations. This includes AI-enabled learning strategy, systems optimization, workforce capability, and readiness so your learning function becomes a true performance engine.

Ascend
We help leaders grow into confident, capable, values-driven people others want to follow. Ascend focuses on leadership effectiveness, leadership culture, and leading in an AI-accelerated workplace.

Labs
VerityLearn Labs is where we explore emerging tools, design high-leverage prototypes, and build smarter workflows to help define the future of performance and capability development.

Talks
We deliver speaking engagements, workshops, podcast opportunities, and community-based learning experiences. The goal is always the same: share ideas, spark curiosity, and move teams toward meaningful action.

Everything we offer is built to help organizations work smarter, lead better, and get real results that last.

We work with a small, select number of clients at a time to ensure every partnership receives our full attention and reliable availability. Our approach is intentionally designed for deep focus, strong communication, and steady forward momentum, without the noise or bottlenecks that often slow down consulting work.

VerityLearn is intentionally designed as a remote-first consultancy, allowing me to support clients more consistently and effectively without the scheduling bottlenecks, travel downtime, or cost escalations that often come with on-site work. This model enables me to serve a national client base, work seamlessly across time zones, and maintain greater availability for strategic conversations, collaboration, and ongoing support.

Modern collaboration tools make remote work not only feasible, but often better for focus, alignment, and sustained progress.

AI is a force multiplier—not a replacement for people.

Research from organizations like MIT and Boston Consulting Group shows that generative AI can significantly improve performance, especially when humans and AI work together. Highly skilled professionals get faster and sharper, while less-experienced employees often see even greater gains when supported by well-designed AI tools.

At VerityLearn, we use AI to:

• Reduce manual, repetitive work

• Speed up analysis, synthesis, and decision-making

• Personalize learning and feedback

• Help people reach competence and confidence sooner

• Enable leaders with real-time insights and coaching prompts

We design human-centered, AI-enabled systems where empathy, judgment, and leadership stay at the center—and AI amplifies those strengths. Our belief is simple: people can do their best work when AI enhances their capabilities. Together, they outperform what either could do alone.

We use a strategic Build–Buy–Curate model to ensure you invest in the right solutions at the right time. Together, we evaluate what should be built internally, what may be more effective to buy from trusted vendors, and what can be curated from existing assets—inside your ecosystem or across the broader learning landscape.

This approach accelerates outcomes, reduces waste, and ensures every solution is aligned to your goals, resources, and readiness.

We want your experience to feel like having a trusted partner who listens first, clarifies fast, and walks with you through every step. The process is simple and transparent so you always know what to expect.

1. Connect
   We start with a genuine conversation—no sales pitch. Just space to understand your goals, your context, and the problems that feel heavy right now.

2. Clarify
   We reflect back what we heard and work with you to define the outcomes that matter most. You’ll leave with clear language, clear direction, and a grounded sense of what’s possible.

3. Align
   If it’s a good fit, we co-create a simple plan: scope, timelines, roles, and a shared definition of success. This removes friction and builds confidence on both sides.

4. Build
   We move into focused work cycles—designing, analyzing, prototyping, coaching, or modernizing systems—keeping you informed, involved, and supported throughout.

5. Deliver
   You receive meaningful solutions your team can use immediately: learning experiences, leadership programs, AI workflows, operating frameworks, or system changes that improve performance.

6. Support
   We don’t disappear. You’ll have ongoing guidance, check-ins, and a partner you can lean on as your people adopt new ways of working, learning, and leading.

Yes. Through VerityLearn Talks I offer speaking engagements, workshop facilitation, podcast opportunities, and other collaborative experiences, whether it’s delivering a design sprint, team workshop, or a conversation that simply needs a thoughtful guide.

In collaborative settings, the goal is to create a space where people feel safe, heard, and encouraged to contribute. When psychological safety is present, participation becomes natural, creativity expands, and teams do their best thinking and work.

We’ll work in any industry where people, leadership, and learning drive performance. We do our best to stay intentionally flexible and industry-agnostic because the challenges we solve are universal.

Partnership Tiers (Strategic Advisory)

Partnership tiers are billed monthly at the beginning of each month.

Each tier covers ongoing strategic support, leadership alignment, planning, coaching, diagnostics, and guidance. Hours are intentionally structured and do not roll over to maintain steady progress and a consistent working rhythm.

Project-Based Work

Some needs like leadership program design, AI-enabled learning experiences, workflow optimization, or systems modernization require additional committed hours and deeper execution. These are best delivered as clearly defined projects.

When that’s the case, we will outline the scope together and bill the project either:

• At kickoff (fixed fee), or

• Monthly as phases are completed

This approach keeps the work focused, predictable, and aligned to meaningful milestones.

Ad-Hoc or Supplemental Work

If additional needs arise outside the original scope, we’ll agree on those together.
Any approved add-ons are simply included in your next monthly invoice so everything stays consolidated and easy to manage.

Payments & Refunds

• Payments can be made through ACH or direct invoice.

• No refunds on digital or downloadable products.

• Refunds are available up to 10 business days before consulting or advisory services begin.

• Once service delivery has begun, refunds are not available due to the time, preparation, and expertise committed.

• All agreements—including scope, pricing, timelines, and terms—are documented clearly in advance through an MSA, SOW, ICA, or Service Agreement when applicable.

It's simple. We begin with one conversation — a short discovery call designed to clarify your goals, surface the real challenges behind the symptoms, and determine whether we’re the right fit to create meaningful change together.

From there, we outline a clear next step: a scope of work shaped around your priorities, your pace, and the outcomes that matter most.

If we decide to partner, we’ll move as quickly as you want to: agreements are simple, onboarding is light, and you’ll already know exactly what to expect. Our goal is to make working together feel like a relief — aligned, collaborative, and focused on getting your people what they need to thrive.

Your first move is easy: reach out to schedule your discovery call, and let’s explore what we can build together. When you’re ready, we’re ready.
