About Andrew Hawthorne
Strategic Organizational Development Leader with 10+ years of experience driving impactful learning and development initiatives. As the former Director of Professional Education, I spearheaded the development and implementation of learning strategies that resulted in consistent learning outcomes and significant improvements in employee performance, including a 33% reduction in front office ramp-up time and a 73% increase in behavioral skill development. I am passionate about cultivating talent, enhancing organizational culture, and empowering leaders through comprehensive programs, including a 12-week blended leadership development initiative that improved clinic manager tenure. My expertise spans needs assessment, curriculum design (utilizing UBD, Bloom\'s, ADDIE), engaging facilitation, eLearning development (Articulate Storyline/Rise, etc.), and robust program evaluation. Certified in C-EQi and Birkman, I bring a data-driven and results-oriented approach to fostering organizational growth and effectiveness.
