Speaking

The Message is Global

Kevin has helped hundreds of learning and development professionals around the world discover how to investigate impact for training and learning.


His keynotes and panel discussions address challenges and opportunities for using measurement and data to answer the question, "How has training and learning measurably contributed to human and business performance?".


His presentations and workshops immerse attendees in practical, ready-to-use methods that help them become L&D detectives. 


In his own words, "My message to the global training, learning, and talent development community is that measuring impact may not be easy but it is possible. I'm simply sharing what makes it less difficult and more possible."

"I knew he was a great speaker and covered a very important topic (L&D measurement) so when I had the opportunity to invite him to speak at my first conference, I did not hesitate. Kevin's name was repeatedly mentioned as one of the best speakers and his session on L&D ’fact finding‘ was one of the most popular and appreciated out of all the sessions at our conference." - Andy Storch, Host, Talent Development Think Tank
