How I can help

Untangle your existing learning program & resources

This is where the untangling starts, moving your team from being reactive to proactive. I take stock of what you already have, align it against your organization's actual business goals, and make honest calls about what stays, what goes, and what needs to change. Root cause analysis makes sure any fix addresses what's actually wrong, not just the symptom, since the default "band-aid" is often more training when the real issue is systemic, environmental, or a mismatch in method or medium. Where something's missing or falling short, I help you identify real options, so decisions are grounded in evidence instead of guesswork.

Expert course option analysis & curation from existing vendors 

Once you know what's missing, finding the right fix shouldn't take weeks of Googling. I dive deep into your specific gap, whether that's occupational health and safety, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Anti-racism (DEIA), professional development, or a platform like LinkedIn Learning, and bring back real, vetted options, not just a list of links. That includes cost analysis, technology and platform fit, and whatever else matters most for your decision, so you can move forward with confidence instead of guesswork.

Custom course design, development & evaluation

This is the gold package, for when nothing off-the-shelf comes close and something needs to be built from the ground up, it’s a full self-paced online course, virtual instructor led training or perhaps a combination of both (hybrid). Working closely with your subject-matter experts, I take ideas and content and shape them into learning that asks learners to think, to choose, to maybe even fail (safely!).

I'm Christina Desormeaux
Senior Learning Designer & Advisor

I partner with lean HR & Learning and Development (L&D) teams within Canadian mission-driven organizations build lasting, impactful and measurable training, learning and development solutions for their leaders and staff. I do this by providing them the right mix of curated resources, hands-on advising, and custom-built training when nothing off-the-shelf fits.

 

I chose Canadian mission-driven organizations because they use education and learning as tools for change, building capacity and reaching people in their often hard to reach communities. That kind of work deserves careful planning behind it. That’s something worthwhile to wake up to each day!

 

When I'm not doing that, you'll find me outside. Hiking, climbing mountains, walking dogs (sometimes ones that aren't even mine), and reminding myself that the best ideas rarely happen at a desk.
