What is Elynndí?
Elynndí (pronounced "L and D")
Elynndí is elevating the field of organizational L&D, or "learning and development": we design and deliver trainings, workshops, webinars, and courses using proven classroom teaching tactics. As teachers, we know how to do this work fast and well. (Just ask our clients!) Whether it is as your consultants, trainers, or instructional designers, we help you think like a teacher — because great organizations depend on great teaching.
Who is Elynndí for?
For those who have never thought about or practiced learning and development methods before — but are ready to start
For those who have a general goal or vision for a project, but need help refining and tailoring the actual deliverable
For those who are ready to evaluate and innovate their typical approaches so that their orgnanization can evolve
For those who seek collaboration in the form of reciprocal thought partnership
Who isn't Elynndí for?
Not for those who see strategies for teaching and learning as separate from organizational growth and progress
Not for those who have a pre-determined, cookie-cutter approach to learning and curriculum design
Not for those who are uncomfortable or unwilling to reflect on or change their ways
Not for those who view feedback as one-way, or cooperation as top-down
Clients
Across nonprofits, business, government, law firms, and other consultancies — you don't need to be a school to be a place of learning.
Owner & Operator
Aaron Barlin, M.S.Ed.
(he/they)
Aaron didn’t always see the connection between classroom teaching tactics and building or running organizations. That changed when, on top of teaching high-school English, Aaron became a districtwide professional development coach and strategic planning lead. In those adult-facing roles, he discovered that his teacher toolkit was essential for designing staff trainings, mentoring colleagues, and consulting admin on high-level decisions. It became clear that only the best teaching practices could shed new light on the workplace's hardest subjects: culture change, talent management, succession planning, and more.This led him to wonder, What would happen if more professionals ran their organizations like teachers run their classrooms? Aaron began Elynndí to invite you to experience the paradigm-shifting answers to this question, developing your organization from the standpoint of a teacher.

Intuitively, Michelle simplifies your workload by breaking down complex projects into clear, actionable steps, making it easier for you and your organization to achieve its goals.
