All my trainings are customized. I create pre-workshop surveys for the participants to uncover their particular needs. My courses are dynamic, interactive, and fun. I use teaching modalities that respect all types of learning styles: audio, visual, kinesthetic, and verbal. I utilize lecturettes (short mini-lectures), role-playing, self-assessment exercises, facilitated discussion, small group exercises, and a variety of classroom assessment techniques. My written materials incorporate checklists, tips, and strategies.
