About Anthony M. Magno

I\'m a resourceful training executive with a unique blend of academic & corporate management experience. I\'m not only a designer of noteworthy instructor-led training (ILT) & webinar programs, I am also an award winning instructor / speaker, recognized for my presentation skills & ability to engage adult learners. I\'m known best for starting up learning organizations, corporate universities and directing training operations.I help businesses by working closely with their people & identifying the delta between management\'s expectations & actual employee performance.As a collaborative leader with a passion for learning, I work well with staff at all levels, especially with subject matter experts (SMEs) who struggle with teaching & sharing their knowledge. I\'ve partnered with numerous SMEs in diverse industries to document best practices, facilitate webinars & create courses on topics ranging from software & management skills to business writing & FMLA compliance.I never \"hold cards close to my vest\" since I believe in collaboration and teaching others what I\'ve learned. As such, I\'m a terrible poker player but an exceptional educator, manager & leader.I love technology and am always looking for better ways of doing things. People think I\'m a techie, but I\'m not. I just happen to be \"bilingual\" when it comes to technology & its unique jargon. I have often been called upon to serve as liaison between I.T. & senior management.If you ever want to discuss corporate universities, needs analysis or all things training; Let\'s chat!
