Sharon Boller is the author of three books including Design Thinking for Training and Development: Creating Learning Journeys that Get Results co-authored with Laura Fletcher.

 

Sharon also built Bottom Line Performance from one person to 33 employees and $4 Million in sales before selling it to TiER1

 

As Sharon admits, her training company would not have grown without a focus on the kind of stuff that training and development practitioners often overlook.

 

Things like:

 

Negotiating terms of a contract

Devising pricing strategy

Recruiting associates, assistants, vendors 

Managing accounting, marketing, systems, standard operating procedures
