  • delivered with expertise

    Through over 25 years of teaching experience at places like Stanford and the University of Washington, I’ve developed an effective, unique, cross-disciplinary approach to teaching and facilitation. It’s literally my job to teach teachers how to teach!

  • Personalized

    I design every workshop to match the unique learning goals of your team. We’ll customize a curriculum and then adapt it even further on the fly to meet the needs of the participants.

  • Skill-Driven

    I’m all about the practical take-aways. From every session, you’ll gain actionable skills you can apply right away in daily life, and an understanding of the theories that make those skills work.

    Every skill takes practice! I’ll guide you through safe, carefully-designed participatory exercises that will keep your mind and body moving as you and your fellow participants engage in collaborative learning.

  • Fun

    The process of learning can be a joyful experience! You’ll learn, laugh, and bond with your teammates in this safe space. I’ll help your team discover its unique humor through co-creation, guided play, and collaborative learning.
