Founder & CEO

Doug Bolger

Doug Bolger wants to change the way the world works. As Founder and CEO of Learn2, Doug believes every team could achieve inspired results by unlearning, optimizing, and creating best practices.

At the heart of his award-winning approach to facilitation and design lies Doug's commitment to participant-centered, experiential experiences. Teams transform and bottom lines grow when leaders and teams get committed to doing differently.

This results-driven approach to learning has benefited clients such as Amex, Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, and the Canadian Olympic Team. His business acumen, sizzling insights, and creative approach earned the Learn2 team over a dozen industry awards and recognition.

Doug's conviction that anything is possible releases the power and energy inside participants and inspires them to lead differently.

Our Approach

No Podiums. No PowerPoint.

We removed the podium, the PowerPoint, and the talking head. Participants drive the experience. They choose the outcome. They own the results.

Immersive Experiences

Every experience is designed around real challenges your team faces. Participants practice in conditions that mirror their work, then apply what they learn immediately.

Guaranteed ROI

We guarantee 4X to 10X return on investment. Amex saw a 147% increase in upsells. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
