What is Elynndí?

Elynndi Icon - training, instructional design, and organizational consulting on strategic planning and more

Elynndí (pronounced "L and D")

Elynndí is elevating the field of L&D, or "learning and development," by taking teaching tactics otherwise distinct to classroom spaces, and bringing them into organizational spaces. Whether it is as your coach, your trainer, or your instructional designer, we help you think like a teacher so you can ensure real progress — because real progress is rooted in good 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 are ready to evaluate and innovate their typical approaches

  • 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 are uncomfortable reflecting on or changing their ways

  • Not for those who view feedback as one-way, or cooperation as top-down

Clients

Aaron Barlin, M.S.Ed. - Owner & Operator of Elynndi: Learning and Development, Led by a Teacher

Owner & Operator

Aaron Barlin, M.S.Ed.

(he/they)

During his time as a high-school English teacher, Aaron was an active districtwide professional development coach and strategic planning lead. In those adult-facing roles, his teacher toolkit was essential for designing staff trainings, mentoring colleagues, and informing high-level decisions. After all, it made sense that only the best teaching practices could shed new light on the workplace's hardest subjects: culture change, talent management, diversity and inclusion, and many more.This led him to wonder, "What would happen if more professionals ran their organizations like teachers run their classrooms?" Aaron began Elynndí to discover paradigm-shifting answers to this question, expanding the field of organizational development from the standpoint of a teacher.
