Learn iT! Blog

This month we are acknowledging Ben Bomberry for all of his hard work, and thank him for his dedication to Learn iT! Being the face of the organization for our Santa Clara office, he is dedicated and dependable. When someone calls, he’s usually the friendly voice they hear, as he’s quick to respond to any task before him. He’s knowledgeable on the services Learn iT! provides, so many employees reach out to him when they need some help. Having reliable members of the Learn iT! family like Ben helps us continue to run smoothly. Thanks, Ben, for taking initiative and responsibility, making Learn iT! a stronger company!

“Ben runs Santa Clara like a boss. He has NEVER called in sick, which is a huge deal since he is the only employee in the South Bay. Classes would get ruined for certain people if he called in sick as often as everyone else does. He does whatever I ask of him without complaining and most of the tasks he does without asking after you have explained it to him. I am grateful to have such a consistently hard working employee on my team. I don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have him down there.”

-Joe Fitzpatrick, Operations Manager

 “Done and done – that is how Ben rolls.  Every time I ask Ben to get something handled Ben sends back a quick done and done reply.  This is a great comfort because I know Ben gets the work handled quickly and professionally.  Appreciate Ben’s positive attitude and creativeness to get things done.  You would be hard pressed to find a better team player than Ben.”

-Matt Murawski, VP of Sales

 “ Always on-board and always complete.  Ben never denies an opportunity to take on new responsibilities and take complete ownership of them.  He handles everything from student requests to internal company projects with the utmost objectivity and professionalism and never leaves a job or task incomplete.  When a task or responsibility is given to Ben, Learn iT! Management understands that they have left it in the hands of someone that will get the job done right with zero micro-management and zero second guessing.  As such, Bona fide Ben is an extremely valuable member of the Learn iT! family.”

-Sean Corcran, IT Manager

Accountability, Commitment to Innovation, The Golden Rule, Teamwork and Purposeful Action are our Core Values here at Learn iT! These standards provide the foundation for our efforts, and serve as a compass for our corporate activities.

We congratulate this month’s Learn iT! Star, Jennifer Albrecht, who was not only instrumental in helping us identify these core values – but also personifies them on a daily basis.

“Jen Albrecht is truly an amazing person. Words can’t describe how fortunate I am to have her on the Learn iT! Team. She has revolutionized our Professional Development department and has taken us to another level with her recent Executive Coaching efforts.”

- Damon Lembi, CEO

“Jennifer Albrecht is without doubt one of the most inspiring women I’ve ever met. Both professionally and personally, she is a mentor, an encouraging colleague , and a valuable resource with a wide breadth of expertise. She has the ability to make those around her excel by supporting and motivating growth and development. It’s clear why she’s among the most requested instructors at Learn iT! and why she’s considered an empowering inspiration by the women — and men — in her life.”

- Courtney Durso, Senior Account Manager

“Jen’s an incredible instructor, mentor and coach. Her diligent efforts behind the scenes make her classes flow as seamless as a cooking show. Her students adore her, and she remains the standard by which all professional development training is measured.”

- Jason Hecker, Director of Special Projects

“Jennifer has an ability to bring out the best in people. Clients, customers and co-workers enjoy working with her in any capacity. She provides superior leadership to the Professional Development Team thorough guidance and support of the instructors. I admire Jennifer for her poise and confidence as a facilitator and director.”

- Angella Bernal, Professional Development Trainer

At Learn iT, we love to promote from within. And last year, when the opportunity presented itself, we took a calculated risk on a newer employee that was light on experience – but long on knowledge, heart and desire.

In this case, this “gamble” has paid off — in spades!

Sean Corcran has taken our IT department to a new level of consistency and excellence. But don’t just take our word for it — check out what fellow Learn iT! family members are saying:

“Sean has done an amazing job for Learn iT! He has transformed the oft-troubled IT department at Learn iT! into a well-oiled machine, allowing us to focus on exceeding clients’ needs. I’m very proud of everything Sean and our IT team has accomplished.” — Damon Lembi, CEO

“Sean has taken on the L! Head IT role with skill, strength, leadership and care.  He is always approachable and ready to help, even under the most stressful conditions.  Sean is truly a knowledgeable professional that has taken the Learn iT! IT staff to its highest level yet. All of us here at Learn iT! are able to do what we do best because Sean makes it possible every single day – and always with a smile.  Thanks Sean.” — Tom Vorves, Instructor

“I love working with Sean. His expertise and patience is so consistent, and his enthusiasm is contagious. It’s nice to know that’s Sean’s on my team whenever I have IT issues.” — Jason Hecker, Director of Special Projects

On the anniversary of his 14^th year at Learn iT!, we are proud to announce Jim Mollé as our featured employee.

Jim has been a consistent and amazing instructor throughout the years – he’s been our Instructor of the Year three times, in fact. And yet, his numerous accomplishments expand well beyond instructing.

• Earned his Microsoft Office Master Instructor Certification in 1997,
• Built all of our Microsoft Office Course outlines,
• Mentored over 30 Learn iT! instructors,
• Recorded all of Learn iT!’s Microsoft Office Learn iT! Anytime videos

All of that –yet perhaps his greatest accomplishment was converting Learn iT!’s paper courseware to digital. Jim’s revolutionary idea in June of 2000 was so forward thinking that it is now the norm for most training companies – and think about all the trees he saved!

In short, Jim is a true Learn iT! Hall of Famer.

“Jim Mollé is like family to me, I couldn’t imagine Learn iT! without him”

Damon Lembi, CEO Learn iT!

“Jim is the team member that makes things happen; he knows how to read the audience, cater courses to their needs, clients ask me time and time again to please have Jim Molle come back and teach our classes. Not only is Jim wonderful in the classroom he is an amazing Project Manager for Microsoft Office Migrations. Over so many years I have had the pleasure to work with Jim, and he always delivers A+ results!!”

Dalit Lewis, Senior Account Executive, Learn iT!

“Learn iT! is my “go to” partner for Microsoft Office training. All the instructors at Learn iT! are outstanding, Jim Mollé in particular is a step above the rest.”
