Storyline Module: Managing Up
Scenario-based eLearning to build communication confidence with leadership.
Problem
It’s common for early- and mid-career professionals to feel unsure about how to adjust their communication style depending on who they're reporting to. Without that skill, even strong performers can miss expectations, create friction, or hold back great ideas.
Solution
This self-paced eLearning module, built in Articulate Storyline, helps learners identify their manager’s style and flex their communication accordingly. Through realistic branching scenarios, they practice navigating conversations with two manager personas—a visionary and an analyst—and get personalized feedback on how they show up. Hands-on activities like writing emails and setting meeting agendas make the experience practical and relevant.
Potential Use Cases
Part of a leadership readiness or early-career development track
Embedded in mentorship or performance coaching programs
Included in onboarding for roles reporting to multiple leaders
Measurement Strategy
To evaluate impact, organizations could:
Use pre/post assessments to measure confidence and skill growth
Gather manager feedback on communication clarity and proactivity
Track behavior changes like more effective updates or fewer miscommunications
My Role
I led the full design and development of this course—from scripting and scenario writing to building interactions in Storyline. I recorded custom narration using ElevenLabs and used triggers and variables to create a smooth, responsive experience. This project reflects how I bring storytelling, interactivity, and strategy together to build training that truly supports on-the-job success.
