Fostering a welcoming learning environment. Inspiring students. Increasing the joy and satisfaction of teaching.

Can I help your teaching staff learn about new educational technologies, learning activities or professional skills? I customize keynote presentations and workshops to suit your learning institution’s professional development needs. Here is a sampling of some of my previous offerings:

• Spice of Life: How student “foodie” videos teach about diversity.
• Team “reading sprees” and comics: Awakening to Truth and Reconciliation.
• Using comics to rehearse best practice: An example of moving from by-standing to upstanding to sexism and homophobia.
• Creating Comics to Deepen Student Reflections, Increase Engagement and Have More Fun!
• Your Life Outside the Box: using your own stories about the young and old heroes in your life to learn a playful and deep way to reflect on your personal and professional journey.
• Online meetings: methods, manners, and messages.
• The truth about resentment. Do you resent it when someone tells you to “let go” of your resentment?
• Work place bullying and right relationships: A special focus on gossiping.
• Self care during stressful times.
• Yearning for kind words at work.
