Hi there! I’m Shaunia Scales, M.S., M.Ed., founder of SparkGrowth Consulting LLC, and I believe learning should never feel like a chore. Growth happens when people feel seen, supported, and safe enough to laugh.
Let’s be honest, we’ve all sat through that one awkward training where the facilitator read directly from the slides for three hours. If you don’t remember one, you probably blocked it out. No judgment.
In my programs, I treat you like an adult. We use real neuroscience and practical learning strategies that help new skills stick. We laugh, we experiment, and we sometimes take small risks to stretch what’s possible. You won’t be forced into awkward icebreakers, but you will talk about real issues, practice tools you can actually use, and connect with real people in the process.
This blog is where I share ideas, insights, and the occasional spark of humor about how people learn, lead, and connect at work. You’ll find stories from the training room, brain-friendly tips, and reflections on what makes learning lively, meaningful, and lasting.
Here’s a peek at what’s coming:
Building people skills that make a real difference
Leading with empathy, even when things get messy
The neuroscience behind why teams click (and sometimes don’t)
Designing learning that sticks, and maybe even sparkles
Finding the sweet spot between professionalism and play
If you believe learning should be engaging, authentic, and yes, even fun, you’re in the right place!
Let’s spark something great together. Reach out if you want to bring some SparkGrowth energy to your team.
