Transform knowledge into impact | At Saunders Professional Development (SPD), scholarship is the foundation of every model, tool, and resource I create. My work bridges theory and practice, drawing from adult learning, organizational development, and professional growth research to produce frameworks that are both evidence-based and actionable. Here, you’ll find white papers, research briefs, and applied studies designed to help leaders, mentors, and organizations translate scholarly insights into meaningful, real-world impact.
