ABOUT SANICA SAKHARWADE SHARMA

I bring a scientist’s curiosity, a strategist’s mindset, and a designer’s eye to the world of learning and development.With a PhD in biological sciences and with almost a decade of experience in L&D, I specialize in end-to-end learning consulting—the kind of work that starts with asking the right questions and ends with measurable impact. My favorite projects involve uncovering root causes, mapping out smart learning strategies, and translating complexity into clarity.I design across modalities, with a strong focus on eLearning and blended learning, while also developing content and session flows for live and virtual facilitation. Whether I’m building a self-paced experience or shaping a workshop journey, my aim is always to create learning that’s structured, engaging, and rooted in evidence-based practices.I’ve worked across 145+ projects and 15+ industries, with 65+ subject matter experts, helping organizations build capacity, shift culture, and solve real problems through learning. I’m especially drawn to initiatives that support transformation—whether it’s leadership development, workforce upskilling, or change management.My approach is both analytical and creative: grounded in behavioral science, shaped by systems thinking, and guided by a love for building things that work and resonate.Let’s reimagine what learning can do by building interventions that are bold, thoughtful, and measurable.Skills and ExpertiseLearning Strategy & InsightNeeds Analysis | Program Architecture | Competency Frameworks | Research & Evaluation | Performance ConsultingLearning Design & DevelopmentInstructional Design (ILT, vILT, eLearning, Microlearning)| Storyboarding | Behavior-Based Design | Learning Experience Mapping | FacilitationExecution & EngagementAgile & Hybrid Project Management | Stakeholder Alignment | Cross-Functional Facilitation | Change Enablement | Learning Measurement | Presales and Statements of Work [SOW] DevelopmentCertifications & FoundationsProfessional Scrum Master (PSM I)| Kotter® Advanced Change Management | Human Resource Management | Applied Behavioral Science | PhD in Biological Sciences
