Instructor Development for subject matter experts who have been tasked to facilitate training
When subject matter experts are asked to train without being taught how to teach, learning breaks down—no matter how smart the instructor or how good the content.
Teams and employees attend sessions and take notes - but then, they return to work unsure how to apply what they have learned. Knowledge is shared, but capability or implementation doesn’t transfer—leaving leaders frustrated and outcomes unchanged.
Training becomes information heavy and hard to follow
Learners Leave Sessions Unsure What To Do Next
Training Quality Varies from Person To Person
Engagement Drops as Sessions Go On
New Trainers Lack Confidence and Burn Out Quickly
Knowledge Doesn't Transfer Or Stick
These problems are universal - across training teams, businesses, and higher ed - and they all stem from the same root issue:

Founder and Lead Technical Trainer
Picture this: You're watching a once-hesitant subject matter expert light up a training environment, confidently leading discussions and connecting with participants—not because they have a teaching degree, but because they were trained to teach with intention. That’s the transformation I help create every day.
Hi! I'm Sabrina, founder of Creative Cat Training & Design and creator of the ElevatED Training program. My path to instructor development wasn’t typical (fun fact: I started in education, pivoted to cybersecurity and now I focus on instructor development and experiential learning). But after years of building educational programs, teaching in them, and watching participants struggle with untrained instructors, I realized what truly matters: giving employees the tools to teach and implement —so they can positively impact their organizations.
