ABOUT ERICA POWELL

I lead learning and development strategies that blend innovation, empathy, and technology to create meaningful growth experiences. With a background in coaching, instructional design, and change leadership, I help organizations move beyond “check-the-box” training to learning that drives real behavior change and business impact.My passion for crafting impactful experiences goes way back—my eighth birthday party included a fully scheduled sleepover agenda (and yes, it was color-coded). That early love for structure and creativity has evolved into a career designing virtual reality onboarding programs, using AI to build adaptive learning paths, and leading teams through change with clarity and care.As a certified coach and lifelong learner, I’m especially passionate about how emerging technologies like AI and VR can reimagine learning—making it more engaging, personalized, and accessible. I’m driven by the belief that everyone deserves meaningful opportunities to learn and grow, and I love building experiences that make that possible.
