What is Experience Design?
We use the core principles of storytelling, the dramatic arc template, event planning, and facilitation best practices to take our participants on a journey, whether they are digging deep into leadership skills, communications best practices, management principles, coaching or something else. By applying the best practices of gathering well, we know participants leave our workshops changed for the better. It’s a radical shift in how you train your team and it requires bold partners who are ready to try something new in the name of results.
It doesn’t have to be this way
If you’ve ever sat through (or led!) programs where multi-tasking, disengagement and “camera off, byeeeee” was the norm, we can help!
Our mission is to make workshops that are connected, meaningful, and yes - a little bit magical, too.
The best kind of buzzwords
Connected
Connection is not a happy accident, but rather, an intentional outcome when learning experiences are designed around the core tenets of vulnerability, play and movement.
Meaningful
We use the dramatic arc template to take learners on a journey. Using the principles of storytelling, we move learners through felt experiences that allow the learning to settle into their bones, not just glaze past their eyeballs.
Magical
Strange but true, participants often tell us that Altogether Human workshops feel magical! They use other words, too, like “life changing” “emotional” and “transformational.” No Harry Potter here though, just a human-centered way of working with adult learners that infuses fun, play and deep respect for their lived experience and humanity, every single time.
What We Do Best!
We build kick ass, once-in-a-lifetime learning experiences. Usually in partnership with People Operations, but we also play nicely with executive teams, talent teams, department heads and anyone else responsible for creating incredible experiences on behalf of people.
You might need an experience designer if …
You need training or workshops you can’t find anywhere else. Let’s build it together!
You want to offer best-in-class virtual training and don’t know how to make virtual engaging and awesome (don’t worry - we do!)
You need a leadership retreat that will transform and inspire participants.
You need manager/leadership training and don’t have time to do it yourself.

Executive Coaching
Maybe you’re struggling with finding purpose in your life, or maybe you’re just struggling to manage up with your boss. Either way, one-on-one coaching is a transformative tool for unlocking skills, harnessing your potential, discovering your values and creating action in your life. Coaching is all about asking deep questions and getting deep and meaningful answers.
Executive coaching is for you if…
You are seeking help, guidance or support in your current role.
You’re ready to level up and work and don’t know how to begin.
Your relationships need a tune up!
You want to discover your Big Why - at work, or in life.
Facilitation
We love learning new material to teach, but we also love teaching what we’ve built. If you need someone in front of the room who is expert at facilitating, listening, and keep an audience engaged, our team of facilitators will deliver.
You need a facilitator if you…
Have an in-house program you need to scale.
Built something with us and you want us to lead it on an ongoing basis.
Have a lot of participants and no time to train them all.
Are ready to scale a new program or class and don’t know how.
Additional L&D Support
For a select few clients every year, Altogether Human partners in a deeper and more embedded way as fractional leaders. We offer consulting hours to be used as needed to make your L&D dreams come true. Because L&D encompasses so many things: manager enablement, leadership coaching, training for all roles and all levels, and programs like onboarding, performance management, feedback, people and process audits and more.
We also know that for most companies - especially smaller companies working hard to scale - it doesn’t make financial sense to bring on a fleet of full-time coaches, facilitators, learning designers and HR consultants to get it all done. Enter…Altogether Human.
We partner with clients in this fractional way, providing Swiss Army knife-like support that flexes with the speed and needs of your business to give you a deep bench of expertise in one fractional role.
If you’re interested in this option or need this deeper level of support, please reach out!
You might need fractional support if…
You have various L&D and People Ops needs and you’re missing the right in-house experts to build and staff the work.
You are scaling rapidly and finding that tech, engineering, product, client work and other outward-facing parts of your business are outpacing the people-centric parts of your business.
Your lack of people offerings are starting to impact your employee engagement and retention.
