About Josh Kauffman

By title, I’m an Organizational Training and Engagement Lead, curriculum designer, project manager, and event organizer. According to Meyers Briggs Personality Types I am an Extrovert, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving (ESFP). Fundamentally, I\'m a champion of people-first leadership, firmly believing that the human element is paramount to a company\'s success. I enhance the employee experience by creating and delivering world class training and engagement opportunities. My passion lies in facing challenges head-on and collaborating with teams to overcome hurdles while nurturing lasting bonds. Being a lifelong learner, I grasp the importance of investing in people and actively pursue opportunities for personal and professional growth. Authenticity is my guiding principle, and I am deeply passionate about making a positive impact wherever I go. As a natural people connector, I thrive on building trust, lending a caring ear, and offering help whenever needed. With a relaxed demeanor and perpetual optimism, I approach every situation with a positive outlook, always striving to find the silver lining. I’m particularly excited about leveraging cutting-edge technologies like mixed reality, VR and AI to revolutionize the training experience and drive enhanced learning outcomes. Hailing from Oregon, you can often find me outdoors, in a flannel, cherishing time with my family and three-year-old daughter. How can I help you elevate your employee experience?
