Learning depends on being able (and willing) to try out something new, something that may feel awkward. For people to jump into that discomfort, they need to trust that it’s worth it. Whether I’m with 70 people or 7, my first priority is creating a welcoming environment that feels psychologically safe. By the time we start our learning together, I try to connect and learn names to show all that I appreciate their presence. As we move through our program, I weave in what I’ve learned about the participants to create bridges from our classroom experience to their real lives.
With my experience in mental health, communication, gerontology, and as a fitness instructor, you and your teams will get a learning facilitator who understands life-long learning and the connection between the intellect and emotions. I’m conscientious in preparing for and delivering either your content or mine with enthusiasm and passion for growth.
Whether we are virtual or in-person, my goal is to use your time well, so that you and your people leave changed for the better.
