Alison McEachern
Learning, by design.
I teach instructional designers and build experiential learning programs for organizations that need their training to actually work. Two things stay true: the human brain drifts during long spells of passivity, and experiential design always works.

Four ways to learn by doing
From self-paced tools and courses to live workshops, there’s something built for exactly where you are.
Self-paced tools and courses
Start any time · one year of accessTraining Design Studio
Plan experiential training from needs assessment to evaluation. Four guided steps with ready-made tools to tailor, a learning cycle planner with live timing, and plans you can print, hand off and keep on file.
The Data Behind Presenting Well
Learn how people actually listen, think and remember, then use it to plan your next presentation. Seven self-paced lessons with hands-on experiments, a planner that builds your starter slide deck, a workbook and template to keep, and a certificate.
Live workshops
Two days · scheduled cohorts or in-houseExperiential Learning Design
A practical, research-informed workshop for trainers who want to build programs people actually use, not just sit through. Work through every phase of the learning cycle on a project of your own. Certificate included.
Facilitation by Design
For people who lead meetings, discussions and group decisions. Practise with professional actors, and leave with your own facilitation playbook and the confidence to lead any room.
Designing learning that lands
Founded McEachern & Associates in 1992. Taught for 25 years in St. Francis Xavier University’s Diploma in Adult Education. Designed programs for organizations across Canada and the U.S., with more than 30,000 participants. Everything I build starts from one question: what does this person need to be able to do when they leave the room?
Let’s figure it out together.
Whether you’re presenting to a room of ten or designing training for hundreds, there’s something here built for exactly where you are.
