The power of experiential learning

Whether positive or negative, we all learn and take action based on what we experience. Carefully crafted experiences that evoke emotion, prompt self-reflection, and lead to paradigm shifts are at the heart of my learning design and facilitation. By analyzing and codifying lessons from shared experiences, learning sticks and leads to tangible change.

Services

  • Learning design

    A learning strategy, curricular framework, or capacity building program to take on any challenge. Designed with your end game in mind and powered by the latest research in adult learning and youth development.

  • Facilitation

    A training, workshop, meeting, or retreat — whatever is on your plate, a skilled facilitator can ensure you make the most of your time. My secret sauce is good vibes, deep listening, and a set of proven consensus-building techniques.

  • Strategic planning & evaluation

    Is your program set up for success? Is it sustainable, evidence-based, and will we be able to measure impact? These are some of the big questions I tackle with clients to do more effective, intentional work.
