Fractional Talent Development Partner
Executive-level talent development expertise. Without the full-time hire.
Let's TalkNew hires need onboarding. Managers are becoming leaders. Teams need alignment. Performance gaps are showing.
But hiring a full-time Head of Talent Development? That's $200k+ you don't have.
That's where I come in.
Most growing companies (50-200 people) need talent development leadership. But hiring a full-time Head of Talent Development costs $150k-250k per year, plus benefits and overhead.
Here's the reality: You don't need someone 40 hours a week.
You need strategic talent development support for specific initiatives:
That's where fractional makes sense.
You get 20+ years of senior talent development expertise at a fraction of the cost. No overhead. No long-term commitment. Just results when you need them.
Think of it like having a Head of Talent Development on-demand: strategic partner when you need guidance, hands-on expert when you need execution, but you only pay for the time you actually use.
A 90-day engagement to design and deliver a custom learning program for your team. We assess needs, build the solution, deliver it, and measure impact. You get a learning system that sticks, not just a one-off workshop.

I'm Trudi Chong, founder of 180co.
For 20+ years, I've designed learning experiences that transform how people and organizations perform. I've worked across F&B, retail, and tech - from startups to scale-ups - building talent development functions, coaching leaders, and facilitating transformation programs that actually deliver results.
Now I'm bringing that expertise to growing companies as a Fractional Talent Development Partner.
Most companies at your stage (50-200 people) need talent development leadership but can't justify a $200k+ full-time hire. That's the gap I fill. You get senior-level strategy and hands-on execution - coaching, facilitation, learning design - but you only pay for what you need, when you need it.
Think of me as your outsourced Head of Talent Development. Strategic partner. On-demand expert. Not an employee on your payroll.
I specialize in coaching, facilitation, and learning design that actually moves the needle. Not checkbox training. Not corporate theatre. Real transformation that shows up in how your team performs.
If you're ready to build a team that scales as fast as your business, let's talk.
