long bio
Kassy LaBorie is a globally recognized thought leader in learning and development, known as The Trainer’s Trainer for her dynamic approach to helping facilitators, trainers, and learning leaders thrive—whether they’re leading sessions online, on stage, or in hybrid environments. With infectious energy and a bold commitment to making every learning moment meaningful, she’s redefining what it means to connect, engage, and inspire in today’s tech-driven workplace.
Kassy empowers L&D professionals, corporate trainers, HR leaders, and teams to step up and deliver learning experiences that actually work—experiences that spark interaction, build confidence, and drive results across any delivery format. Her mission? To make training irresistible and to turn every session from blah to AHA!
Her impact spans decades of innovation. As the architect of Dale Carnegie Training’s $4 million digital business, she pioneered virtual strategies that shaped an entire industry. Before that, she helped build Webex University as a senior trainer, laying the foundation for the platforms we rely on today. Kassy doesn’t just teach the tech, she shows people how to show up powerfully within it. From virtual platforms to the latest breakthroughs in AI and emerging technologies, she helps professionals cut through the noise and use tools with purpose, clarity, and confidence.
She’s 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’s also the creator of the Y-O-U Framework, her signature keynote model that equips trainers and presenters to lead with confidence and human connection:
✨ Y — Your Invitation: Connection starts when you make room for others to belong.
⚡ O — Own the Tools: Learn it. Use it. Get over it. (From AI to immersive platforms, tech should support you—not stop you.)
🚀 U — Unleash Your Presence: Because the real difference in training is how YOU show up.
When she shared this framework at a recent international conference, attendees called it “the best session at the event” and described it as “a delicious, practical, and actionable cupcake with extra sprinkles of fun!” 🧁✨
Now stepping fully into the spotlight as a keynote speaker, Kassy brings her signature blend of storytelling, strategy, and spark to conferences, companies, and communities ready to elevate the way they learn and lead. Whether she’s delivering a keynote, coaching a team, or hosting a high-energy workshop, Kassy’s deep expertise and vibrant delivery make her an unforgettable force in the field.
