Worked together on the same team · Kairos WW · June 2026

I had the pleasure of working with Meshayla on the Exelon Utilities project in partnership with Kairos WW, where she played a key role in developing training materials and learner support resources during a large-scale change initiative. She possesses a remarkable ability to transform complex information into clear, practical, and engaging learning solutions that align seamlessly with both business goals and end-user needs.

What stood out most was Meshayla’s professionalism and her ability to collaborate effectively across Kairos WW teams, Exelon stakeholders, and multiple levels of leadership. She communicated effortlessly with SMEs, business units, and end users alike, always keeping project objectives and core business priorities at the forefront.

Meshayla also has a keen ability to quickly diagnose gaps, look beyond surface-level issues, and uncover the root cause of a challenge. Even when provided with minimal baseline information, she thoroughly assessed impacts and developed highly effective solutions. She excelled at concurrently supporting business process changes and technology integrations, while simultaneously crafting the communications and training resources necessary to drive organization-wide adoption.

In fast-paced environments with shifting priorities, Meshayla remained remarkably adaptable monitoring changes closely and pivoting quickly to keep project milestones on track. Dependable, collaborative, and deeply invested in quality, she would be a tremendous asset to any organization.

Meshayla's attention to detail and her ability to work long hours under tight deadlines were critical in delivering an engaging and interactive training program that effectively delivered the intended instructional material. Her positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure project success was highly appreciated by everyone on the team.

“Great training does not fill knowledge gaps. It opens possibilities people did not know existed.”
Meshayla Kemp — Enterprise Learning Architect
How I work

The Lesson Plan Method

Every engagement starts the way a good teacher starts a lesson: with the learner. Five steps, in order. Choose one to see what it looks like in practice.

Sound familiar?“We need a course on this by Friday.”

Diagnose First

A training request is not yet a problem to solve. Before anything is built, I find the real performance gap and ask whether training is even the right fix.

  • Performance gap named before anything is built
  • Stakeholder, gap and DIF analyses completed
  • A clear answer to: is this a training problem?

Sound familiar?“The content is all there, so why is nobody finishing it?”

Design for the Learner

Audience analysis drives every design decision, not the content inventory. I design for the person who is nervous about the new platform, not for the slide count.

  • Audience analysis before learning objectives
  • Role-based paths so people choose what fits their work
  • Accessibility (WCAG/ADA) built in from day one
See it in action: 500 Learners, 500 Roads →
Sound familiar?“They passed the quiz, but nothing changed on the job.”

Build for Transfer

Learning only counts when it shows up in the work. I pair practice with the tools people use in the moment, so training carries past the course.

  • Scenario-based practice built around real situations
  • Job aids and coaching guides that travel with the learner
  • Post-launch reinforcement, such as office hours
See it in action: Two Planes, One Runway →
Sound familiar?“Everyone is using AI, and nobody agrees on how.”

Leverage AI Strategically

Generative AI is a collaborator, not a shortcut. I use it where it speeds the work and keep a human in charge of the result.

  • AI used where it saves time: crosswalks, drafting, voiceover
  • A human in the driver's seat for every deliverable
  • Instructional integrity kept intact
See it in action: Six States, One Map →
Sound familiar?“How do we know it actually worked?”

Measure What Matters

Evaluation is designed in from the start, not retrofitted when someone asks for proof. Measures tie back to what the business or the state needs to see.

  • Kirkpatrick and SAT-aligned evaluation planned from day one
  • Assessments that give reviewers evidence they can verify
  • Findings fed back into job aids and revisions

Why I work this way

It started in a Sunday school classroom at my grandmother’s house. The habit never changed: start with the learner, then build everything around them.
