Learning Products and Services

The Learning Studio specializes in adult learning principles where the firm’s approach is rooted in both strategy and execution.

Program Development

In the ever-shifting landscape of member-based organizations, program development has become as much an art as a science. Associations, once accustomed to a steady cadence of annual meetings and workshops, are now rethinking how they deliver value in a world where member expectations have changed. 

The Learning Studio is expert at program development, a skill honed over our more than two decades leading program development efforts for clients locally, nationally and internationally.  We work in both the face to face and digital worlds, and design for audiences of 25 up to 10,000 and more. 

Just a few of the things we do here are:

• Needs analysis to uncover the need, audience and focus of each event
• Agenda and format development
• Content and flow
• Speaker curation
• Program execution

We are there to lead and nurture all aspects of the development and delivery process. 

Podcast Development and Hosting

A well-developed podcast series can help organizations carve out a distinct voice. Beyond simply producing episodes, TLS partners with clients to shape editorial direction, refine messaging and build series that resonate. 

From concept creation to guest curation and professional hosting, the firm oversees each stage of production with journalistic rigor and a focus on quality storytelling. The result: podcasts that do more than fill time—they deepen engagement, elevate brand presence and spark meaningful conversations.

Conference and Symposia Facilitation

In an era where attention spans are short and demands on time are high, the art of facilitating conferences and symposia has never been more vital. Our skilled facilitators do more than simply keep events on schedule; they shape the flow of conversation, surface new ideas and create space for genuine exchange.

A well-facilitated conference can transform a roomful of professionals into a community. From “fireside” chats to managing dynamic panels to steering high-stakes discussions, the right approach helps ensure that sessions are create impact.

The result: gatherings that move beyond routine agendas to moments that feel fresh, substantive and truly worth the investment of time.

Curating Coaching Speakers, Trainers and Subject Matter Experts

TLS brings decades of experience recruiting, coaching and preparing speakers for events large and small.  We are passionate about coaching individuals to be ready for the stage. 

We have deep expertise in developing members and other subject matter experts into skilled instructors who can command a room flawlessly.  We are also very adept at working with skilled speakers who need to connect with an audience in an industry or profession for which they have little to no exposure.

Partnerships

TLS understands that creating partnerships can dramatically expand reach and influence, however they come with complexities in agreement and execution.  We have developed many partnership agreements for our clients over the decades, in addition to working with partnerships already forged to create a win-win scenario both in branding and a positive bottom line.

Human Capital and Learning Needs

Clients often come to us with challenges around the learning enterprise within their organization.  Resources are finite and demands are high.  They are often wondering if they are overstaffed, understaffed or if outsourcing might provide a more feasible model for the future.  We are ready to help and have created insightful analyses for many organizations who need to find the right operating model for their growing – or shrinking – enterprise. 

Evaluations and Outcomes

TLS is a leader in developing evaluation tools that go far beyond measuring participant satisfaction. By focusing on meaningful learning outcomes, the firm equips organizations with the data they need to refine programming and demonstrate impact.
