Education & Training
With twenty years of senior-level management experience in the areas of Executive Development, Change Strategy & Culture Transformation, Organizational Development, Assessments, and Quality Improvement in combination with an extensive experiential background in healthcare, leadership, education, coaching and personal training/group fitness, I am able to facilitate on a wide variety of topics and have experience with both large/small group facilitation.
These programs can be specifically geared toward your unique personal and/or organizational needs, or can be presented to cover the topic in a general sense.
While programs are broken out by category, many can be used in a variety of settings and for audiences of educational and experiential diversity. Please note this is not an all-inclusive list, for topics of interest that are not expressly listed, please contact me.
Programs are designed for the adult learner and are developed to create both active and passive engagement for participants. They typically include a visual PowerPoint slide show, video clips, interactive exercises, independent exercises, humor, story-telling and hand-outs or workbooks that reinforce the objectives while providing continual resources to the learner.
My goal is to enlighten the participants with new information while reinforcing existing, evidenced-based practices or theory that is presented in a way that is easily understood while providing practical ways to apply change strategies without having to continually rely on the use of experts or consultants.
Programs can be presented in person while adhering to current health codes, or via electronic platforms.
Please contact me for more information to include fee schedules.
** CEU or CME credits can be added for an additional expense.
“A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.”
–Mustafa Kemal AtatürkHere are a few examples of my teaching style. Using all the senses: visual; didactic; written materials with resources; storytelling; and active participant engagement we are better able to focus the adult learner in diverse and enthusiastic ways to ensure better retention.
These teaching vignettes were designed for a group of health care providers of varying classifications that performed community-based care coordination for clinically complex, frail and elderly populations within a large health care system. Part of their charge was to create trust which would then facilitate transparency in order to best help the individual. To reach that goal, they would need to forge a relationship and understand how to create engagement, what to look for, how to ask questions and intuit what wasn’t being said.
Another facet that is often overlooked in healthcare systems is the importance of good sleep hygiene. Lack of quality sleep for both the patient and the caregiver can bring about symptoms that may seem medical and/or lead to significant caregiver burnout.
These clips were part of a six-part series I developed on care coordination that also included a workbook outlining chronic diseases, patient resources for the various diseases, videos, group work that reinforced the information, case studies and tests for each module.
