Theme:
Empowering women over 40 to confidently step into training, teaching, and leadership roles by transforming experience into engaging, meaningful learning.


In this episode of the Mature Allure Podcast, host Sherri O. sits down with Dr. Lisa Hammonds, founder of Dove Training and Innovations, to explore how women over 40 can turn their knowledge and life experience into impactful learning experiences.


Dr. Hammonds shares her journey from technology professional to training and development expert and explains why subject-matter expertise alone isn’t enough to create effective training. She introduces her philosophy of “grace and pace” and explains how meaningful learning must center on the participant, not just the content.


Listeners will learn:
• Why traditional training methods often fail
• How to design learner-centered experiences
• What makes training sessions memorable and actionable
• How to overcome anxiety about teaching or speaking
• Why midlife women are uniquely positioned to lead through learning
• How AI and technology are shaping the future of training
• One practical step to start building engaging learning programs today

This episode is a must-listen for women who want to teach, coach, speak, or lead with confidence and purpose.
