What is your Workplace Group Communication Style?
View interactive: IntraPersona Matrix
Tools Used: Storyline 360
Project Title: IntrapPersona Survey
Summary: I created the IntraPersona Survey (©), using Articulate Storyline to assess and identify individual communication styles within a business setting. The survey categorizes participants into one of four distinct styles: Collaborators, Leaders, Innovators, and Stabilizers. By identifying these styles, the survey helps business leaders understand their own communication preferences and strengths, as well as those of their team members.
Impact: Individually, leaders gain self-awareness and insight into how their style influences their interactions and decision-making. Collectively, the survey fosters better collaboration, reduces conflict, and enhances overall team performance by aligning communication strategies with the diverse styles present in the workplace.
Escape the Room
Tools Used: Articulate Storyline
Summary: Writing effective AI prompts is essential for today's e-learning developers. In this interactive activity, I developed precise AI prompts that generated uncanny resemblances to the Flintstones cast, enhancing the visual appeal of an "Escape the Room" trivia challenge. The challenge utilized dynamic variables to determine the participants' escape route, creating a personalized and engaging experience that required critical thinking and adaptability.
Results: Participants were deeply engaged, with the variable-driven paths adding a layer of complexity and ensuring a unique experience for each learner, ultimately enhancing problem-solving skills in a fun, AI-powered environment.

View lesson: Dynamics of Workplace Group Communication
Tools used: Storyline 360, Rise 360, Vyond, Camtasia
Summary: In this Rise course, I utilized the Intrapersona Matrix to guide two merging businesses through the complex process of group communication. The course explored how understanding and leveraging the four communication styles—Collaborators, Leaders, Innovators, and Stabilizers—can smooth the merger process by improving communication, reducing friction, and aligning team dynamics.
Impact: By applying the Intrapersona Matrix, the course provided both companies with a structured approach to identify and address communication challenges. Leaders from both organizations learned how to integrate different communication styles effectively, fostering a collaborative environment that supports a successful merger and paves the way for a unified, high-performing team.
Express Eats
Express Eats: A fun way to learn math
Tools Used: Articulate Storyline, Vyond GIFs
Summary: In this engaging Articulate Storyline course, I employed text variables to personalize the experience by using the learner's name, number variables to calculate order totals, and true/false variables to create branching scenarios. Set in the fictional restaurant "Express Eats," learners take on the role of a customer, placing orders, reviewing receipts, and deciding whether to leave a tip—all while learning essential math concepts in a fun and interactive manner.
Reflection: These skills can be applied to more serious topics such as financial literacy, project management, healthcare training, compliance training, and leadership development. I’m excited to leverage these techniques to create impactful learning experiences in these areas, helping learners make critical decisions and understand complex concepts in a personalized and engaging way.
