About Alix Irwin

As a kid, I used to line up my stuffed animals, grab a clipboard, take attendance, and begin teaching. My audience has since changed, but my commitment hasn't. I found my niche early, and it's the most exciting journey. I currently work with a fantastic team at a law firm, supporting all of its members with a variety of learning and development needs. Including onboarding, power skills, and technical skills. I've been told that I have a special way of explaining things so that people understand. In reality, I think I just give people space to ask the questions they need answers to, and meet them where they're at with my answer. I'm a firm believer in recognizing the knowledge and experience that others bring to the table, while knowing that there is always an opportunity for learning. I've been a coach, a guide, a student, and a leader. I strive to listen first, speak last, and never assume what someone should know. I don't believe in common sense, or stupid questions. We live in an ever-changing, fast-paced, and information overloaded world. With a diverse workforce that is forever playing catch-up with the latest technology, or skill. We all need a safe space to catch our breath, ask our questions, and connect the dots so that we can get back to getting the job done. That's where I come in.
