Workshops and Training
My training and workshops employ research-based methods of dialogue, reflection, education, and leadership practices. Participants can expect auditory, kinesthetic, and visual education rooted in: Identity exploration, communication, intersectionality, and transformational leadership. I have experience giving 1,000+ workshops. Your workshop will be tailored to your group. Below are examples of training themes.
