Create Your Path: Reflecting & Strategizing for Professional Growth is a personal development focused topic area. Workshops are designed to help people discover and develop themselves to be more authentic, significant, and happy. Programs help students and professionals to create their own path to a successful life and career, integrating the academic, professional, and personal together.

Program Innovation is a topic area where the workshops help people to innovate by doing it. Workshops are designed to facilitate groups and institutions through the idea development process by systematically tackling a challenge relevant to you. This is a relevant topic area for organizations and groups within institutions. It is designed to help people improve how they work and have a high-impact.

This topic area is great for people who need to teach something or get results with a group. Workshops will introduce tools and techniques for facilitating group discussion and activities. Participants will engage in different types of facilitation and discussion and identify the challenges that they expect to face. This is relevant for both students and professional.

In this core area for educators, I focus on helping people to innovate the way they educate to enhance learning & development. It is based on my research and experience with leadership programs, and innovative education. These currently include blended programs based on Flip The Classroom style, as well as my book, Root Down & Branch Out: Best Practices For Leadership Development Programs.

Featured Program: Root Down & Branch Out
This program is based on my book which brings key findings to practice from a research study conducted to determine the most important characteristics of high quality leadership development programs. I interviewed over 60 program developers, educators and participants from high-impact leadership programs to uncover what mattered most for learning and leadership development.
