Laurie provides guidance and management for learning within organizations. She provides comprehensive needs assessment at the initiation of a project with stakeholders to determine the scope and depth of the project; develops learning programs to support the organization's strategic plan and business objectives; analyzes performance gaps as needed for adopting training solutions or other resources; evaluates the effectiveness of the learning objectives to ensure the desired results are being achieved; works with leadership teams in implementing tools and resources to support organizational change management.
Laurie Burruss is a popular and sought-after speaker and is often committed well in advance. She is an experienced presenter and keynote speaker who simultaneous educates and engages. Audiences not only get the ``big picture`` - the research, the ideas, and theories - but leave with tangible actions and strategies. To secure Laurie for an event, please complete the contact form below.
Combining experience in the classroom with research in the field, Laurie shares her understanding of complex topics and the strategies that shift behavior, facilitate innovative practices, and ensure transformative results. She has created online training courses, provided learning solutions for organizations, and conducted hands-on and interactive workshops for all levels. Recently she conducted a design thinking workshop attended by staff, faculty, and administrators at Houston Community College to create an innovative entrepreneurship program.
Laurie aids organizations and schools in setting overall goals and then developing both a continuous process and an iterative plan for appraising the progress and the success of implementation through regular assessment. She views strategic planning as an organization's process of defining a strategy, developing a plan, while making decisions on allocating resources to achieve its vision.
As a performance coach and mentor, Laurie seeks to bring out the best in the client. She asks questions, poses challenges, and creates an actionable agenda with frequent touch points. Her style of guiding with purpose, searching for answers, giving critical feedback and completing goals brings success to both individual and team performance. She helps people ``exceed their expectations.``
With direct experiences at over 250 academic site visits, Laurie's ``sweet spot`` is addressing the process of creating, retaining, and transferring knowledge within an organization. Organizational learning is a function of experience within the culture as it attempts to stay competitive in an ever-changing environment. Laurie examines at all aspects: individual learning, group learning, organizational learning and inter-organizational learning.
Thanks again for your great presentation this afternoon at the EdMedia Conference. As I said after the presentation, the content has the stature of a keynote address. . . I would like to keep in touch with you and your research.

Laurie, you're amazing. Thank you for your help on the matrix and for all the helpful resources!
Carin Richards, Sales Manager, Higher Education Team, LinkedIn Enterprise Solutions
Thank you so much for your session today. With your practical tips the staff, librarians and all @ Victoria University will be able to maximize the learning with Lynda.com for themselves and the students. I also gained a lot of interesting insights to highlight in my communication to my other university clients. We really appreciate you taking out this time to make these great sessions happen.

CCCS closed today for all 75,000 faculty/staff across the 113 campuses within CCCS. I know that your work over the years played a HUGE role in getting all of the pegs lined up, and I'm very thankful to you. In particular, the way you connected with Hillard Holland and James Hicks at the Los Angeles Community College District played an instrumental role in bringing this deal to close. It just closed today, and you are one of the first people I thought of.
Nasir Syed, Learning Solutions, LinkedIn
Thank you for today’s webinar! You have inspired me to get back on my learning routine with your Rule of 3 tenet.
Robert Sams, Career Services, University of California, Santa Barbara
Wow! Thanks so much for your energetic and passionate sharing of multimodal learning. I am inspired to get my 8th graders doing more videos (play lists)!
Herb Bergamini
My business partner, Martin Radley, and I listened with interest during your webinar (From School to Work: Bridging the Skills Gap) to learn what Lynda and LinkedIn are doing to address the "skills gap" problem. There was much to like in your presentation and it is clear that we have many areas where we agree. We very clearly see the skills gap that you so compellingly describe in your webinar.
Lynn Robert Carter, Executive Academic Chair (Dean), Aspen University
That was the BEST presentation I have attended in as far as I can remember. It was a great presentation, with relevant content, which was compellingly delivered. My 1 hour was well spent. I not only have some great ideas but wonderful resources to use.
Peter Maribei, PhD Coordinator, SOLES Global Center, University of San Diego

We have, of course, tight resources and will need some creativity in finding a solution. But having seen your talk, I am more convinced than ever that this would help us meet so many of our goals for our students.

I really enjoyed your Educause session. For me this was the best combo of theory/research and applied use … and in addition it was data-driven, so chapeau!

Awesome presentation! Not only is your topic super exciting to me, but your background tracks very closely to what I’m trying to do with my career. Thanks for the inspiration and resources!

. . . I attended your session at the ELI conference in San Antonio last month. I loved your presentation and felt that you made such a great argument for keeping up with trends outside of the education sector. Thank you for such a great presentation. I felt it was one of the best I attended at the conference.
Rosemary Tyrrell, Ed.D., Instructional Technologist, Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts
Thank you for sharing with all of us at the “Connect.” It is exciting and encouraging to see what you are doing with the tool. . . definitely breaking the limits. . . I want you to know that you are always welcome on campus! I will personally make sure you have an audience if you decide to visit.
Pavel Vasioutovitch, Associate Dean, Technologies and Collection Services, LIBERTY UNIVERSITY
Thank you Laurie. Your session was one of the most practical ones I attended for the Conference. Thanks so much for sharing your strategies. We are a Lynda.com institution with a site license. I also got some good ideas during your session for creating playlists for our staff and faculty training. I haven’t done those before but I’m going to give it a try thanks to you. We just went to O365 this summer with no training or preparation so using a playlist may be helpful.
Linda L. Beith, Ph.D., Director, Center for Scholarship, Assessment, Learning, Teaching & Technology, Roger Williams University
Where can I view today’s webinar session. There was a lot of great information and I am eager to share it with other departments on campus.
Robert Vazquez, Technology Specialist, Lama Community College
Your ELI presentation was only TERRIFIC!
Tim Merritt Manager, Technology Education Programs Center for Instructional Innovation, Georgia State University
I really enjoyed your presentation last Thursday on Bridging the Skills Gap. Would you mind sharing your 10 Skills Employers Most Want rubric? I would like to use it in my business communication course. You had a lot of great information to share.
Sarah Clements, Business Communication Instructor, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, College of Business
That was a great presentation- thank you SO much, Laurie! You are amazing and brilliant as always! You completely aced it. 🙂 Thanks for creating these playlists on Accessibility within the Lynda.com Online Video Library.

Laurie- Can we just clone you Down Under and take you on the road—that would be great!
