About Sherman Workplace Learning & Performance
Our Vision
At Sherman Workplace Learning & Performance (SWLP), we design people-centered strategies and learning experiences that strengthen teams, elevate leadership, and build inclusive, high-performing cultures.
SWLP was founded in 2014, under the original name Influence by AG, by Dr. Amina Gilyard James-- learning and organization development strategist, employee experience innovator, and real estate entrepreneur. Dr. James founded SWLP to address a critical need in today’s organizations: aligning learning and development with measurable performance outcomes. Too often, training is viewed as a standalone solution, when true impact requires a broader, systems-level approach. By combining expertise in workplace learning, organizational effectiveness, and performance consulting, we help clients identify root causes of performance gaps and implement targeted, sustainable interventions.
Our Services
At Sherman Workplace Learning and Performance, we take a holistic approach to improving organizational outcomes by examining the full range of factors influencing performance—including processes, systems, and organizational culture. We identify and recommend targeted interventions to close performance gaps and drive sustainable results. Our services include:
- Gallup Clifton Strengths Coaching
- Training, Enablement, and Talent Development
- AI Literacy and Empowerment
- Business Analytics (Needs Assessment)
- Solution Design, Evaluation, and Optimization
- Process Improvement
- Employee Experience & Engagement Consulting

Our Founder, Dr. James, also provides Fractional Chief Learning Officer (CLO) and Chief Operations Officer (COO) services upon request.
