Brenda Peterson, Learning and Enablement Leader

My name is Brenda Peterson, and since forever, I've been in the field of learning and development.

I grew up the youngest of three children with siblings who are 14 and 16 years older than me. This means that I, in essence, I grew up with four parents--and next to no idea what was going on most of the time. Early on, I learned how to learn from doing and trial and error. Over time, I found myself drawn to people who looked just a little lost and I was compelled to help them make their ways in the world by leveraging what I managed to figure out. Learning, researching, asking good questions, and active listening are ways that I learn all the time. 

Professionally, I am an innovative learning and development leader who thrives when implementing training and enablement solutions that drive results. I have experience leading high-performing training teams in rapidly growing technology companies. I am also adept in player/coach roles and designing company-wide end-to-end learning solutions. In addition, I am skilled in setting strategy, building relationships, managing stakeholders, designing materials, and leading projects. Overall, I am committed to continuous improvement and delivering scalable L&D programs that promote growth.

Learn all the things!

From a life standpoint, I have always been a learner. Whether it was learning how to show dairy cattle, how to write and perform stand up comedy material, how to prepare for an inline marathon, or learning the ins and outs of roller derby, I'm always pursuing knowledge. Suffice it to say, I learn many, many things depending on what life throws at me. Welcome to my outlet for sharing that information with the world.
