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 redefined what it means to connect, engage, and inspire in the modern 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.
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 Experience Effect, her signature framework that helps trainers and presenters step into their own expertise and lead with impact.
✨ 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!)
🚀 S’UP (Show Up Principle): Because connection starts with YOU.
When she shared this framework at a recent international conference, attendees called it “the best class at the event” and described it as “a delicious, practical, and actionable cupcake with extra sprinkles of fun!” 🧁✨
Now shifting from behind-the-scenes consultant to full-stage 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
