Speaking Engagements


One of the things I enjoy most is facilitating workshops.  As a life-long learner, few things give me as much pleasure as observing the proverbial light bulb go on for people as they experience an “A-ha! Moment”, or as they consolidate new learning together with their colleagues.  My workshops range in size; I can accommodate small groups of 10-12 or large groups of up to 200 participants.  Formats and topics vary as widely as my audiences.  Some of the learning opportunities I have planned and facilitated over the past several years include the following:

  • two-hour workshop on parenting toddlers
  • full-day session on transformational practices for classroom teachers
  • multi-day Math workshop for primary and junior educators across the province
  • five-part course on Thanatology for people working with children
  • after-school session on Questioning in the Arts
  • staff meeting on the norms of collaboration
  • private consultations with expectant parents
  • afternoon workshop on classroom management for Sunday School teachers
  • three-hour, interactive musical performance at a community picnic

As you can see, my scope is broad.  While most of my experience is with teachers and parents, the sky’s the limit in terms of topics I am willing and eager to address.  I pride myself in being practical in my sessions, and providing an environment where participants draw on their own expertise and learn from each other in a safe and inviting learning community.  My workshops challenge but do not threaten.  I am personable yet professional as required by any given situation.

If you are looking for a hands-on learning opportunity for your organization, email me with the particulars.  I look forward to the possibility of working with you and engaging your employees or other learners!
