Now, as part of Coherence Strategy Group, we’re expanding opportunities to connect organizations with top-tier providers and proven tools.

What kind of services does Avid Learner provide?

Our provider community delivers a wide range of services, including executive coaching, leadership development programs, culture and team effectiveness workshops, and customized learning experiences. Each provider brings unique expertise, so we can match organizations with the right resource for their needs.

Who are the providers?

Providers are independent consultants, coaches, and educators with deep experience in leadership, strategy, and culture. Many have published thought leadership, served in executive roles, or taught at top universities. Together, they form a collaborative network dedicated to elevating leadership and organizational success.

How can my organization work with Avid Learner?

It’s simple, reach out and we’ll learn more about your goals. From there, we’ll recommend the best-fit providers and programs from our community. Whether you need a keynote speaker, a long-term leadership development partner, or a team workshop, we’ll help you find the right match.

What makes Avid Learner different from other training or coaching firms?

We’re not a single consultancy; we’re a community. That means clients benefit from access to a wide range of perspectives and expertise, while still getting the personal connection and customized approach that makes learning stick. Our model is flexible, scalable, and focused on delivering impact.

Do you work only with large organizations?

Not at all. Our providers partner with organizations of all sizes, from startups and nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies. Programs are always tailored to the size, scope, and needs of your team.

How do I become an Avid Learner provider?

Our provider community is by invitation or application. We look for individuals with demonstrated expertise, strong facilitation skills, and a commitment to helping leaders, colleagues, and organizations grow. If you’re interested, please reach out via our [Join Us page/contact form].

What are the benefits of being part of the provider community?

Providers gain visibility through the Avid Learner platform, access to a strong referral network, opportunities to collaborate on projects, and support with business development. Most importantly, you become part of a trusted group of peers who share ideas, resources, and opportunities.

Do providers work for Avid Learner full-time?

No. Providers remain independent, running their own practices and engagements. Avid Learner creates opportunities for connection, collaboration, and visibility—helping clients find you and helping you find clients.

Where is Avid Learner based?

Avid Learner is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, but our providers and clients span the U.S. and beyond. Much of our work can be delivered virtually, as well as in person.

How soon can we get started once we reach out?

That depends on the type of engagement. Some projects can be scheduled within weeks, while larger programs may require more lead time. We’ll work with you to understand your goals and timeline, then recommend a plan that fits.
