Who is Lizdot?
Lizdot is not a person but a creation! My name is Jenn Barnabee, and after working as a technical writer, trainer, and product manager, I started Lizdot Services LLC so I could combine all those skills to create amazing learning experiences for my clients. I named Lizdot after my dogs Lizzie & Dottie because they remind me not to take life too seriously and to make learning fun and engaging.
Whether you want to provide onboarding training for new hires... information security awareness training for your personnel... product training for sales teams or end-users... or something totally specific to your organization, I simplify technical concepts and help people learn new tools and capabilities in a relatable, memorable, and accessible way.
More about me...
Technical Writer
As a technical writer, I strive to simplify technical concepts, instructions, procedures, and processes and communicate about them in a straightforward way.
Trainer
As a trainer, I have conducted many in-person classroom and online training sessions where I engage the class and keep things interactive.
Product Manager
As a product manager, I have conducted multiple sales enablement sessions and end-user training sessions to highlight new products and features. I've also created numerous video tutorials to provide on-demand/at-time-of-need product training.
Learning Designer
As a learning designer, I am a constant learner myself. I learn about the people I'm designing for and the results they want to achieve. I design in collaboration with them and get their input. I test my designs with them to validate their effectiveness. And I constantly improve the training after it is rolled out, based on data around its effectiveness.
