Why One Eleven?
We believe training should do more than check a box. It should build clarity, confidence, and capacity.
Too many companies waste time and money on training that doesn’t stick. It’s generic. It’s disconnected. It doesn’t reflect how your people actually work or learn.
At One Eleven Consulting, we design training systems that solve real problems—built from research, refined with experience, and customized for your people. We listen first. Then we build with purpose.
Always.
Our goal isn’t just to deliver training—it’s to help your organization grow.
What We Do
We partner with leaders, managers, and organizations to:
- Redesign outdated onboarding and training programs
- Build scalable, people-centered learning systems
- Clarify what’s working—and what’s not—with strategic audits and coaching
Whether you’re updating training across multiple locations or building something new from scratch, we bring clarity, structure, and a strategy that grows with you.
The Meaning Behind the Name
Founder Sarah Downie was born at 1:11 p.m.—a time she associates with cycles, growth, and new beginnings. Like the recurring moment of 1:11, meaningful learning happens in cycles: when we pause, reflect, and evolve. That spirit guides every training system we build—grounded in what works today, and ready to grow with what comes next.
Meet the Owner
Sarah Downie | Founder, Instructional Strategist, and Builder of Better Training
Sarah brings over 15 years of experience in education, leadership, and professional development. She’s worked across sectors to design training that’s practical, engaging, and effective—with a style that’s strategic but never rigid.
Her approach is simple: listen deeply, design clearly, and build systems that respect people’s time and intelligence.
“No one wants training that wastes time. I help organizations design systems that make sense—for the people delivering them and the people learning from them.”
