Employee
Development

Investing in your employees' career development  is one of the proven practices of employers of choice. Employee Development approach span a wide range, from classroom instruction, to mentoring & coaching, to special work assignments and informal opportunities to learn from others.  My experience has shown that  providing targeted, timely and applicable opportunities for growth engage heads and hearts, creating a rich workplace where work and professional development and complimentary. I am happy to discuss your needs - ranging from creation of a strategic framework to specific learning needs. 

Instructional
Design

"Good" instructional design is easy - right? When people learn things then it's a good course! But what about after the course is over, how well do participants apply what they learned? What issues will they encounter as they test new skills, implement new processes, and deliver what they do in a different way? So often I see decent, sometimes even great workshops that simply fail to deliver because they treat classroom learning as an event. Participants are left with a blank slate on what happens after the return to day-to-day work. Generally - despite every good intention - new skills get lost in the hub bub of getting things done. There's a horseman I really admire who always says " Go Slow to Go Fast - Later". My approach to instructional design is to look at every possible way to effectively deliver information outside of the classroom, use time in the class or any group process to discuss, apply, and practice, and  swarm all over what needs to happen to ensure new skills and approaches are recognized and support in day-to-day work. By Going Slow to Go Fast - Later we allow time for new skills to gel, and overall achieve improved effectiveness and satisfaction.

Coaching

The heart of Coaching is supporting You - the Client. While I practice "Business Coaching" there is no business without people, so our context may be around your career, or your new business venture, but the focus is on you as a person. I love to work with people who are, or aspire to be, great leaders. Being a great leader is not synonymous with the size of your business; greatness is driven by values, purpose and passion. It's about being the person you were meant to be, and enjoying every minute of it.
