Career Summary & Goals
Over the course of my career, I have been a trainer, instructional designer, and training
manager/director. My strength is in creating highly interactive, media rich classroom and
eLearning courses that use questions, role-plays, scenarios, simulations, case studies, and practice
exercises to facilitate teaching and learning. I also have a talent for making complex subjects easy
to understand and fun to learn. I have a real passion for teaching and learning and I give people
the ongoing coaching and support they need to be successful.
As a manager and director, I have led several winning training organizations, including the highly
successful training department for the Business Intelligence Division of Platinum Technology.
Our training department was noted for having the best training, marketing, and sales of all six
divisions in the company. The reason for my success has been in fostering a team oriented work
environment where everyone helped and coached one another and people were acknowledged for
their outstanding efforts, both personally and financially.
At the present time, I am running my own business called Training Tamer LLC. Training Tamer
is committed to providing classroom and e-Learning training to job seekers and employers.. We
help job seekers learn how win an enjoyable, top paying job and kept it and teach HR/hiring
managers how to hire grade A talent and keep them. Our goal is to provide low cost, high quality
training and coaching to our clients and be the number one provider in this arena by 2010.

Professional Philosophy/
Mission Statement
My training philosophy is based on the Socratic method where you teach by asking questions vs.
simply talking or lecturing. This method is more engaging for the student and forces the student
to figure things out for themselves, thus more effectively cementing learning in the student’s mind.
I believe in helping people learn and grow by providing them with equal measures of challenge
and support. The students’ goals and our training provide the challenge and our ongoing
coaching provides the necessary support for them to succeed. Our coaching model helps them set
goals, figure out what’s stopping them if they get stuck, and helps them find a way to get back on
track without feeling they are wrong or have failed.

Accomplishments
1. Produced award winning computer-based training at Teletutor Inc. We used the Socratic
method to more effectively engage students and help cement learning. We constantly asked
students questions and allowed them to type in any answer they wanted . We then assessed
their answer and gave them feedback. They had three tries on each question before we gave
them the answer but most students got it on the second try. Many students commented that
our courses felt like they were talking to their own personal tutor.
2. Created a 14 member training department for the Business Intelligence Division at Platinum
Technology Inc. that was acknowledged company wide as the best training department in the
company. In our first year, we doubled our training revenue from $750K to $1.5M.

Communications/Interpersonal Skills
1. What was the most difficult problem you have ever faced? How did you handle it?
What did you learn from it? How would you do it differently next time.
I had an instructional designer named Vicky on my staff that blew up at me in my office in
front of another staff member. I found myself getting defensive and thinking of responding
in kind but instead, I suggested we all go out to lunch and cool off. When we returned, I
talked it over with her and found out she had misinterpreted something I said in a staff
meeting a month earlier and had gotten progressively angrier ever since. We straightened
things out and agreed to check things out with each other immediately if this kind of thing
ever happened again. As a result, she became my best allie, offered constructive ideas and
coaching to me and others, and became my best producer. She is still a friend today.

2. Describe a situation where you had to deal with a difficult or irate customer. How did
you handle it? What did you learn from it? How would you do it differently next time.
I had a customer who had just bought our software package and wanted training related to a
feature he had seen demonstrated by our pre-sales staff. This feature was not actually part of
the product but rather a demo showing what could be done with the software. The demo had
not been fully tested and had lots of bugs but we developed training for it anyway since it
had been demoed this customer and many others. This particular customer had found a lot of
the bugs during the training and demanded his money back on both the product and training.
I felt he had a valid issue and agreed to give him back his money to ensure good will. He
was pleased with my honesty and willingness to refund his money. He decided to keep the
product and later recommended both the product and our training to others potential
customers.

3. Describe a difficult problem you had with a co-worker or manager. How did you handle
it? What did you learn from it? How would you do it differently next time.
A new VP took over in our division of the company and appeared to have little respect for
any nut her managers, including me. Within a month, all the other managers except the one
she favored resigned but I stayed on. After six more months of being left out, having
meetings cancelled at the last minute, etc., I finally realized that things weren't going to
change and found another job. If this were to happen again, I would confront my VP sooner
and if there were no resolution, then I would leave immediately.

Management Skills
1. Describe a situation where you had to deal with an employee who was not performing
up to standard on the job. How did you handle it? What did you learn from it? How
would you do it differently next time.
I had an employee named Jay who was part of the course development team working on
developing a large course. Jay was having trouble keeping up with the others on the team
and the team was having to pick up his slack to maintain the schedule. I talked to Jay about
the problem and told him he'd have maintain his schedule and offered to coach him daily
on issues that were slowing him down. After 2 weeks, Jay was still behind schedule and I
asked him to work overtime on the nights and weekends to catch up rather than having his
co-workers bail him out again. He then took a phone call from his wife and proceeded to
bad mouth me to her while I was there listening. I ignored his comments and stuck to my
guns. Jay finally conquered the problem and got back on track. I learned to trust my gut
instincts and not back down.
2. What methods do you use to motivate your employees to do their best and ensure
they are retained by the company?
First, I set up a budget that provided $1000 per person for training related to their job so
they could learn and grow. Second, I fostered a real team environment where everyone
supported each other and could get help/coaching at a moment's notice. Third, I made a
point of holding regular quarterly meetings for the staff at our Portsmouth and Houston
sites to get together, discuss and resolve common issues, and get to know one another
better. Fourth, I gave out awards to everyone on the team to acknowledge their individual
contributions. Fifth, I tried to create a relaxed working environment that they all enjoyed.
Sixth, I had an open door policy so anyone could approach me and any time with an issue
or concern. Finally, I encouraged people to work at home when feasible and supported one
person's move from Portsmouth to Virginia as an at home worker.

3. How have you approached upper management with a new idea or project to get their
approval? How did it work out? What did you learn from it? How would you do it
differently next time?
I went to the VP of the Business Intelligence Division in Platinum Technology and asked
him to take the training function out of the Technical Writing group and make it into a
separate Training Department with me as its head. He was reluctant to do this at first so I
suggested that we do a six month trial. He agreed and after three months, the project was so
successful that he made it a permanent deal. This taught me to never take NO as a absolute
but instead to come back with alternatives until one sticks.

Letter of Recommendation
October 4, 2007
With regard to Larry Labelle:
I have known Larry since 1987, as an employee, a colleague, a neighbor, and a
friend. He is a man of honesty and integrity, willing to take responsibility for his
actions. He is bright, articulate, creative and energetic, seeking the positive
solution to each challenge he faces. I recommend him without hesitation.
Testimonials,
Evaluations, &
Letters of
Recommendation (2)
When my partners and I moved our fledgling CBT company to New Hampshire,
Larry was our second hire. He remained with us until 1990/91 when the recession
finally caught up with us and forced us to lay off our entire staff. By the time the
economy recovered enough to allow us to grow again, Larry was well ensconced in
a new company and we were unable to hire him back.
While with us, he performed the myriad tasks typical of a small company,
including researching technical information, assisting in the design of learning
modules and assessment tools, creating complete interactive, graphically rich CBT
lessons, managing the intricate development schedules of complex projects, and
finally managing and mentoring a group of new developers. During his tenure, he
embraced and mastered a learning philosophy and teaching style that maximizes
learner involvement and educational effectiveness. He accomplished a great deal in
that short period, and based on examples of his work that he shared with me after
his departure, he continued to grow and extend his skills in his subsequent
endeavors. He will be a valuable addition and contributor to your organization.
