Power in Partnership: A Fireside Chat on Elevating L&D Through Strategic Collaboration


Tuesday, July 22, 2025 / 6:00pm – 7:30pm
Speaker: Lynley VanSingel and Shari Barth




BRIEF DESCRIPTION


Join us for an engaging fireside chat that explores how strategic partnerships can amplify the impact of learning and development initiatives. This interactive session will highlight real-world examples of successful collaborations between L&D professionals, business leaders, and strategic vendor partners.


Attendees will gain insight into building strong internal and external alliances that drive performance, foster innovation, and align learning strategies with organizational goals. Whether you're an L&D practitioner, manager, or consultant, this conversation will offer practical takeaways to help you harness the power of partnership in your own work.


ABOUT THE SPEAKERS


Lynley VanSingel

A culture carrier and advocate for people, Lynley VanSingel leads the Invitation Homes Talent & Culture team as Vice President. Her commitment to authenticity and learning has led her to a robust career in Talent Management over the past 20 years in the Financial services industry.


VanSingel leads from the heart and has made her path as an executive, leading teams that connect human and business needs by implementing performance solutions that drive growth capability. Over her career, she has won awards for Strategic Planning, Technology Application and recently in 2021 was named to Housingwire’s Top 100 Women in Housing annual list.


Shari Barth

Over the last 25+ years Shari has built a successful career centered around the things that are most near and dear to her: training, coaching, consulting, and moving organizations toward success. Professionally, there is no greater motivation for Shari than working with organizations who seek the tools and talent to improve performance.


Having contributed as both an internal employee and an external consultant, she experienced first-hand how difficult it could be for an organization to navigate the search to find the right resources for projects and assignments.


Shari decided, “What if I connect the dots between client needs and top talent?” and an entrepreneur and Optimal Training Solutions (OTS) was born in 2001. Today, OTS dramatically expedites the connection process, decreases the search time, and helps organizations find better matches than they could on their own.


When Shari’s not “connecting the dots” she enjoys spending time in Plano, Texas with her husband Michael and two adult daughters, Zoe and Maddy. Shari holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Organizational Communication from the University of Michigan.
