Learn and grow with a master teacher

Drawing on many years of experience as an educator and facilitator, I offer the following experiential workshops and retreats. Unique in both design and delivery, all presentations are customized for individual client needs.

Retreat Facilitation: If you know your staff could function better as a team, or that your practice could use some attention and a nudge in a positive direction, then a strategic planning retreat may be the answer you are looking for. A retreat is the ideal forum to bring your team together, clarify your vision, develop or revisit your statement of purpose, generate fresh ideas, and set goals. Using a combination of coaching and consulting techniques, I facilitate one-day and multi-day retreats. Following the retreat, you’ll receive a customized report and, if indicated, follow-up coaching to support the successful implementation of ideas and plans.

Planning for Change — Individuals: How do you maintain a sense of control in your life and career amidst constant change? This interactive half-day workshop provides conceptual understanding of the Cycle of Renewal and practical tools to help individuals navigate the cycles of change they experience in their lives. Many of us feel we are constantly reacting to change, rather than proactively managing opportunities to move forward with our goals and plans. In a world of constant change, lives and careers must be redesigned over and over again, chapter-by-chapter, as we live them. Each participant will identify where they are in this cycle of change, create personal and professional life plans and goals, commit to next steps, and develop skills to move forward. This energizing workshop provides an empowering individual experience and powerful group learning opportunity for understanding how colleagues experience and manage change.

Planning for Change — Renewing Team Focus and Energy: Using the same change model described above, this full-day workshop focuses on building team trust and effectiveness. What is our shared history and where do we go from here? How do we successfully adapt to the many changes we experience? How do we navigate and negotiate during times of change and make the best decisions for the practice or organization? How do we achieve our goals and not burn out in the process? Is it possible to have a successful career and a life outside of work at the same time? With a variety of concepts, tools and exercises, the workshop addresses these questions and leaves the group feeling inspired and hopeful. It is forward-looking and emphasizes how teams can arrive at practical solutions to challenging problems, set goals that are in alignment with group values and vision, and understand the dynamics within the team.
