so you can GROW, SCALE & WIN! 🤘
(Yes.. we are trying to make you jealous! You could have your logo up here too! It will be seen by our mums and 3 other people per month! 🤣🤘👌)
These are just a handful... but they're pretty cool huh? Maybe your company logo could get up here 😏😎🤓🚀💪
There are a lot of learning consultancies out there that will tell you everything you want to hear! They did a UDEMY course on NLP or other Voodoo and they are trying to build rapport by making you feel like they are your best mate!
We have a very different way of rolling! Some clients love what we do, some clients (well they don't become clients) don't align with our values.
We are so so so cool with that. We know we are amazing at what we do and if you think so too then we will work our faces off to create something RAD for your and your business!
Why is cool question.. When we create stuff or are trying to understand a problem we ask why as many times as we can until we are SURE that your answer is the reason and/or the only way forward!
Steve spent a lot of time racing canoes in California and Hawaii… dude is part of our company vocabulary.. If you get “duded” it means you ROCK!
We exist to help you, first and foremost.. Not to create something that you need to pay us to edit three times a week for the remainder of time on Earth. Everything we make for you is editable and if it’s not we will teach you how.
What we do is not unique. We have done it for number of years, we are really good at it and we know how everything works… Wherever possible we will push for DIY or DWY (done with you) so we can teach you how to fish for yourself. We love reliance and you needing us.. but that doesn’t give us the right to hold you hostage for our knowledge.. EVER!
Life is so freaking boring these days. We recognise that sometimes a bit of a fun injection is needed. We love movies and we love GIF's so if it's ok with you, we might insert a few into our relationship
Over our collective years in L&D wonderland we have seen some of the most razzle dazzle, award winning learning solutions created! They are cool and so good for peoples reputation and street cred.
That being said, we have seen powepoint decks with REAL content, from REAL people, telling REAL stories have some of the highest engagement and completion rates.
If simple exists we will pitch it to you. But if you want crazy complex, we can do that too.
We would never bite the hand that feeds us but at the end of the day you're here cause you have a problem. You might not know exactly what it is but it's there.
To solve the probelm we aren't always going to create stuff that you love.. but we will guarantee your end users will love it!
That means you win!
There is a very dark side to this consultancy stuff! Open ended agreements, locking you in to stuff you haven't even seen yet, the list goes on..
We have a staged approach to everything and you can hop off the ride at anytime, take and own all the work we have done and either finish it yourself or hand it off to other expert.
We have regular touchpoints, set objectives and targets and manage expectations in an open, honest and transparent way!
Otherwise what's the point?
A: "Whatever it takes 😂🤣"
We have spent the last 10 years trying to figure out the answer to this question. When we first started out we did anything we could to secure a client. Even if we weren't that amazing at it. The Learn Awesome of today would go back in time and slap that attitude out of past Learn Awesome. However, it did get us to where we are today. There are things that we ROCK at, things that we can do OKish and there are things that we SUCK at.
Given we are in the pre dating phase.. Let's call it the "TINDER" phase of our relationship it's the perfect time to give you some answers to some common questions we have received from other clients. This might help you work out if you want to go out on a date with us or not 😍😘
Amazing question and one we get a lot! We are everywhere... If you are cool working remotely with us (which we beleive is more effective)
When covid hit in March 2020 we made the choice to relocate to a remote river island in the Mid North Cost of NSW. There has been zero cases of covid there and it will stay that way. Mainly cause 9 people live here. From here we are able to run our biz, work with clients in all states of Aust and Internationally too! If you fall in love with us, who knows we might invite you up for a brainstorming workshop or just a chance for you and your team to chill! 🌴
In the Learning industry there are a lot of people and companies that derive their value from how sexy their titles sound. So it started as INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER (not sexy) then it moved to LEARNING DESIGNER (sexier) then some clever people added the word 'experience" to the mix to make LEARNING EXPERIENCE DESIGNER (LXD for short) then to make us sound smart we became LEARNING STRATEGISTS, EVANGELISTS, WANKERS! Whatever put bums on seats.
At the end of the day we are client focused. you can call us whatever you want, but they key is that we won't baffle you with bullshit or pretend to be cooler than we actually are. You will typically have a problem you're trying to solve and maybe we can solve it through LEARNING. That is creating programs or pieces of work that helps bridge a knowledge gap for your people to help them do better at xyz.
Don't fall for cute titles go for the company that cuts the crap and focuses on delivering value
We know right.. We do learning. We promise this is not a cop out, but it's true. Let's break it down a little bit. Let's say you need to create a training program for your staff on topic XYZ. We would come in and help you plan it, scope it, decide the best way to deliver it then build it , test it and launch it. We can do all of this or some of it.
When it comes to the type of learning, is it face to face, is it eLearning is it a mix of both, do your facilitiators need training etc etc.
Then it goes super deep. Like.. do we need to create some custom video or learning package, do you need a platform to host your learning on, do you need help with change management, record keeping and / or learner feedback.
See.. it's a pretty crazy world but for us.. it all starts with a virtial coffee ☕️ ❤️😘🤓😎
Haha, you've been burnt by this stuff before. Here's the thing. Steve is the Captain of Learn Awesome but he is not the only person on the ship. Learn Awesome has been rocking and rolling for 10+ years (wasn't always called LA) The biggest our team has been is 12 but at any moment in time we have Steve plus 2 other legendary learning specialists.
The beauty of our lean consultancy model is that it allows us to be nimble and scale up and down based on the workload we have at any given time. What's key is that Steve will oversee everything and Project Manages every project we are working on.
But Steve is not the best coder or designer in the world, so this is where the team come in to help. Add all this together and it makes Learn Awesome the perfect addition to your business smile 😀 We fit in really well! Just ask our mums 🤣
If anyone gives you an answer to this question without asking you at least 5 questions then you should run for the hills! We can't possibly know the answer to this question without first understanding your project, its scope, your timeframe and budget. Best thing to do is to book in for a virtual catch up and we can go through it there.
Note to future you! Don't choose the cheapest option ✌️ you'll end up paying for it in the long run.
The answer is Yesssssssss 😏 and the emoji after it is for you not us. Steve and the team love taking on longe term projects, it's just a matter of if the price is right and if the fit is correct also. The best thing to do in this case is take a look at our rates for ongoing work and then if you're happy with that, reach out for a chat with Steve to scope out the gig and test fit. Who knows it might be love at first sight 😍🤓
(insert some justification or excuse as to why we can't show you stuff.. NDA, privacy, blah, blah, blah)
Date 11 JAN 2021- Hi.... soooooo ummmm errrr well hahah.. Just getting the OK from our clients to put something in this section.. We aren't just delaying this casue we have nothing to show for it.. That would just be crazy! If you have a 15 min no strings chat with us, we can show you stuff 😉
Steve's Mum- 2015 😂😘😍🤣
You like our profile, you think we have common interests, aka.. you think we are kinda hot and want to take it to the next level.
Swipe left and lets have a 15-20 min Virtual Coffee to get to know each other. No strings, no expectations, just talking 😏😜😘
So the chat goes well and we think each other is hot and worth taking things a bit further. Now we are going to have an indepth discussion about your project
We will dazzle you with our skills, you'll fall more and more in love with us and if you're happy we move on to stage 3.
By the end of this stage we will present you with our prenup 😂 so you'll know how much we cost, what we will do and how long it will take.
So we are well and truly in love with each other, we have met the
parents, we see a future, we know all the steps we are going to take togther. All that's left is to say YES! Then we can get to work
Now the work starts based on the proposal. We do our part and you look into our eyes and go "man o man.. I'm so in love with you." We deliver as agreed and then present you with a choice.
*Note: ( I think this is the second astericks on the site.) We live in a project world. So during the scoping stage of the project we will work out an all inclusive cost to get you from where you are now to where you want to be. For some reason, everyone wants a day rate. The reason we like "ALL IN" project based pricing is cause it's better for everyone. We work as long as it takes to get the job done and you know that we are working our faces off to give you exactly what you want. Out with the micro management and let us run free like a throughbred racehorse 🐴 🐎
We run some amazing island workshops! Ask us how.. But we live in the remote universe and can be anywhere with zoom.
We have clients in Melb, Sydney, Bris, Perth (come on SA) California, Japan, Singapore, Finland and New Zealand!
