Kassy LaBorie
The Original Virtual Training Hero
Kassy LaBorie is a globally recognized thought leader in virtual learning and human connection in remote spaces. As a professional keynote speaker, bestselling author, and founder of Kassy LaBorie Consulting, LLC, she has redefined how individuals and organizations engage in the digital world. With an infectious energy and a commitment to making virtual learning experiences truly worthy of engagement, Kassy empowers L&D professionals, HR leaders, and teams to step up and create dynamic, interactive online experiences.
Her impact spans decades of innovation. As the architect of Dale Carnegie Training’s $4 million digital business, she pioneered strategies that continue to shape virtual training today. Before that, she helped build Webex University as a senior trainer, laying the groundwork for the virtual platforms now essential to hybrid work.
Kassy is the bestselling author of Interact and Engage! 75+ Activities for Virtual Training, Meetings, and Webinars and Producing Virtual Training, Meetings, and Webinars, both published by ATD Press. She is known for her signature framework, The Experience Effect, which teaches trainers, leaders, and teams how to step up and create learning experiences that drive real engagement.
✨ EP (Engagement Principle): What did I just say or do that I could have let YOU say or do instead?
⚡ TP (Technology Principle): Learn it. Use it. Get over it. (Tech is a tool, not the experience itself!)
🚀 S’UP (Show Up Principle): Because connection starts with YOU.
After sharing this framework at a recent international conference, attendees raved, calling it “the best class at the conference” and even describing it as “a delicious, practical, and actionable cupcake with extra sprinkles of fun!” 🧁✨
Kassy is a highly sought-after speaker at industry events such as Training Magazine’s Annual Conference, ATD TechKnowledge, DevLearn, and Learning Guild events, where she inspires audiences to rethink the way they approach virtual learning and hybrid work. Whether she’s delivering a keynote, coaching teams, or consulting with organizations, Kassy’s infectious enthusiasm, humor, and deep expertise in digital engagement make her an unforgettable force in the field.

I get it. You can’t offer all your training in-person anymore. But you still want virtual training experiences to be amazing!
If that sounds like you, then you’re in the right place.
Coaching for Trainers
I coach trainers on how to use platform features for interactions.
Virtual Platforms are like physical classrooms
A blackboard alone doesn’t inspire learning. A trainer does.
Become a Virtual Training Hero
Platform features don’t get results. Virtual Training Heroes do. Strategies are developed for virtual trainers, virtual producers, and virtual designers.
WHY KASSY LABORIE CONSULTING?
Your coach with the experience to tailor virtual training strategies to your goals.
I came into virtual training on the ground floor. (Video calls weren’t even a thing until 2003. I started in 1999.)
Everyone kept asking me, “That was cool. How did you do it?”
I love sharing my knowledge at conferences. At this point, I’ve spoken at 100+ events.
I’ve also written two books:
• Interact and Engage! 75+ Activities for Virtual Training, Meetings, and Webinars, recipes for your immediate use!
• Producing Virtual Training, Meetings, and Webinars, the first book focused exclusively on virtual producers!
But what I love most is making a difference by training teams and coaching individuals.
Today I coach learning and development professionals until they become virtual training heroes. I love hearing participants’ success stories!
I also feel grateful that I can help learning leaders. As a former decision-maker myself, I understand the pressures.
I worked as the Director of Virtual Training Services at Dale Carnegie. I was on the leadership team that developed the Dale Carnegie live online training product. It grew into a $4 million dollar business, even before the pandemic.
I understand what it takes to get results with virtual training. And that’s exactly how I help learning leaders.
