SPD is built on a foundation of rigorous scholarship and evidence-informed practice. My work draws from established research in adult learning, organizational development, and professional growth to create frameworks that are both theoretically sound and practically relevant. Every model, tool, and resource I develop is grounded in the literature and shaped by a commitment to bridging research and real-world application.
Here, you can explore my white papers, research briefs, and applied studies—resources designed to translate scholarly insights into actionable strategies for leaders, mentors, and organizations.
