Testimonials
“I had the pleasure of working with Johnathan at Safety Services Company in both marketing and product development. Johnathan is a heavy hitter, a weapon. He has stretched the bounds of his master’s in psychology beyond limitation. Not only has he mastered learning and development, but he’s also a master learner himself. This means on any project he tackles, he produces fabulous results—even if he doesn’t have clear direction to start. As the Digital Training Manager, he single-handedly launched a successful shift from a dinosaur of a learning management system (LMS) to a sleek, modern platform. This increased renewals significantly and hooked some big fish. Getting there wasn’t easy. He had to garner support from top executives who, without his pitch, would have otherwise thought the project a costly, risk-laden road. He used his data-driven, analytic mind to gather buy-in. He crunched the numbers. Produced the reports. Worked his Excel wizardry and proved that his project would reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction. It did both. It was so successful, and his skills were so thoroughly proven, that he was promoted to Marketing Operations Manager. He happily tackled this new role while maintaining the duties he’d set for himself in launching a new LMS. It was truly a job no one else could do.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Johnathan. It’s rare to find someone whose academic nature so well complements practical application. I’ll miss our conversations about everything from aviation and literature to programming and graphic design, all things he’s demonstrated proficiency in as a jack of all trades. You’ll never hear the excuse, “Well, that isn’t my job” from him. If it can be done, he’ll get it done. Just point him in a direction, and pull the trigger.” – Alex Eakins, Technology Program Developer
“Prospect employers take note…In terms of organizational training and eLearning, Johnathan is the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Johnathan 100% designed and deployed an industry’s best LMS platform, while working at SSC. He then went on to administer the LMS, created new content, constructed learning plans and was the primary presenter for customer demos. I regularly received personal messages from customers praising Johnathan for a successful LMS implementation or issues resolved. Johnathan Clayborn is simply the best talent in the eLearning and training space.” – James Burwell, VP of Product Development

“We didn’t work together for very long but I got to know Johnathan pretty well. I have tremendous respect for him because of the simple way he is able to take a complex problem and break it into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Johnathan is a problem solver and a natural-born teacher and leader. If anyone was meant to be in adult learning, it’s him. I found him to be passionate about his field and compassionate when it comes to learners. In addition to that, he is a pleasure to work with and is always willing to listen. If you want someone who will work tirelessly for a solution and has empathy for those around him, whether it’s the people he’s teaching or a coworker, Johnathan is your guy.” – Wendy Schorr, Instructional Designer

“Johnathan is a brilliant teacher whose command of the classroom is simply a natural function of his personality. Although he was responsible for conveying complex material (at the time, Windows Vista was a brand new operating system and he was training Dell Tech Support agents to support it), he made it simple enough for students at any level to understand. I would definitely recommend Johnathan for any role, particularly any involving training of any kind.” – Aaron Gochee, Systems Engineer

Throughout the program, his dedication and mentoring skills inspired me to excel in my newly acquired position of Associate-Trainer.” – Toby Fowler, IT Support Professional
