Deep in the Work—But I Haven’t Forgotten You!

Apr 01, 2025 11:39 pm

Hi ,

I realized the other day that I’ve been a little quiet in your inbox lately. It’s not because I disappeared—I’ve just been really busy with some amazing projects. You know that feeling when you look up and suddenly months have passed? Yeah… that’s been me.

So, what have I been up to? A LOT.

📚 Coaching new learning professionals – I’ve been working with people who are brand new to instructional design, helping them develop real, hands-on skills instead of just learning theory. Watching them go from “I don’t know how to do this” to “I built this training from scratch” has been incredible.

🎭 Running transformative team workshops – I had the chance to work with a local Seattle business, where we focused on strengthening team connection in a day long workshop for their whole staff (110 people). Instead of just talking about teams and communication, we put it into practice—using interactive exercises, real-world challenges, and practical tools they could apply immediately. (And the feedback was amazing!)

🌍 Digging into my own intercultural growth – I’ve also been doing some personal development work, including taking the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). It was humbling, eye-opening, and a reminder that we all have blind spots. Growth is uncomfortable—but that’s how we get better.

✍️ Re-engaging in writing my book, Scene At Work – This has been such an exciting and eye-opening process. I’m writing about the tools and frameworks theatre artists use that can be easily applied to the business world for better relationships, top skill development, and productive teams. I can’t wait to share more soon!

So yeah, I’ve been deep in the work—coaching, facilitating, writing, and learning right alongside the teams I help. But I’d love to hear from you, too! What’s been keeping you busy lately?

Hit reply and let me know. Let’s reconnect.

Cheers,

Katie
