Emily Correa

Unlike many in this emerging field, I pursued my M.S. in Organizational Learning & Development in 2011, mid-recession, at one of the most prestigious hubs of education, Boston, MA. At 27, I completed my degree while also training 1,000+ young women in confidence & personal development in my first instructional role.

​

At Babson College, the #1 school globally for Entrepreneurship, I redesigned the Student Leadership Program’s assessments with a 40-page report, the first revision in its 14-year history, earning a recommendation from John Weintraub, Dean of the Babson Coaching for Leadership & Teamwork Program.

​

From there, I moved to NYC as a Corporate Training Analyst with National Grid, supporting 165 employees and management. I transformed their outdated onboarding into a 14-day program and personally trained 135+ union new hires over three years.

​

Over the past 12 years, I’ve grown into a multi-disciplinary Consultant, Trainer, Coach & Instructional Designer, delivering full-cycle L&D solutions for private, military, and Fortune 500 clients, including the U.S. Navy, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carnival Cruise Lines, PwC, Walmart, Wells Fargo, and more. My career spans eLearning design, leadership development, and organizational training across healthcare, finance, telecommunications, retail, technology, and the military.

​

In parallel, I have built extensive expertise in public relations, digital marketing, and event/media production, directing large-scale campaigns, multi-sponsor retreats, and magazine launches that have reached audiences of 120K+ and engaged 40K global contacts.

 

This includes producing executive-level branding photoshoots, managing influencer collaborations, and negotiating sponsorships with luxury hotels, wellness brands, and corporate partners. These experiences sharpened my skills in strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, and brand visibility which I leverage in corporate environments to align training initiatives with organizational identity and culture.

​

I thrive at the intersection of structure and innovation, balancing ADDIE, SAM, and adult learning theory with creative design, multimedia, and AI-driven tools. From facilitating SME workshops to launching global certification programs to producing branded digital campaigns, I create measurable impact at every stage.

What others say:

“Efficient meets exceptional is how I would describe Emily… Her turnaround times were shockingly fast.” – Joann Salerno, Project Manager, U.S. Navy project

“Professional and personal at the same time… Powerful and insightful, she is the real deal.” – Jonathan Mitchell, MBA, TEDx Speaker

​

What makes me different: I combine corporate L&D expertise with a master-level coaching certification (iPEC, 350+ hours), executive-level communication skills, and 10+ years in PR and media strategy. This unique blend enables me to design learning experiences that don’t just inform, but inspire confidence, spark behavior change, and amplify organizational brand presence.

​

I am motivated by organizations that value collaboration, creativity, and diversity. I’m always open to opportunities to design meaningful learning experiences, modernize content, and elevate teams through the power of education and strategic communications.
