Training
As an experienced trainer for counselors, teachers, and leaders, I provide trainings on leadership, emotional intelligence, and social-emotional learning topics.
Coaching
I provide coaching on leadership topics such as being more easily understood by their teams. I help leaders instill working agreements that foster collaboration and facilitate better meetings. I can help leaders provide better feedback and receive more informed feedback to drive change forward.
