| TEACHING & TRAINING

Build capacity, not just attendance.

Training should do more than put people in a room for an hour and give them information.

 

I design learning experiences that help people understand something, question something, practice something, and leave more capable of acting on what they learned.

​

Formats

Learning can take many forms. I can design and facilitate:

  • 60–90 minute workshops

  • Half-day learning experiences

  • Full-day workshops

  • Multi-session series

  • Cohort programs

  • Communities of practice

  • Webinars

  • Facilitated conversations

  • Train-the-trainer experiences

  • Self-paced learning

  • Customized professional development

  • Conference sessions

Customization

I do not believe in swapping your logo onto the first slide of a generic workshop and calling it customized.

​

When customization is part of the engagement, I can learn about your audience, context, goals, existing practices, and organizational constraints so the learning experience actually belongs in the environment where people will use it.

​

That work is part of the project scope.

Pricing

​

Teaching and training are based on the same transparent $150/hour professional rate.

 

That means the price reflects both:

 

Live facilitation time and the preparation, customization, design, research, and resource development required to make the experience useful.

​

For example, a customized 90-minute workshop may require several additional hours of design and preparation.

​

After reviewing your needs, I provide an estimated total number of hours before work begins.

 

Examples:

Scope

3 hours​

5 hours

10 hours

20 hours

Additional time

Investment

$450

$750

$1,500

$3,000

$150/hour

Larger cohort experiences, recurring programs, and organizational learning initiatives are scoped individually using the same $150/hour rate.

Already have the training?

I can also help organizations improve what already exists.

​

That might include:

​

  • Reviewing a workshop

  • Redesigning curriculum

  • Improving accessibility

  • Turning a presentation into an interactive learning experience

  • Creating facilitator materials

  • Developing participant resources

  • Preparing internal facilitators

  • Converting live learning into asynchronous formats.

​

Sometimes you do not need a new training program. You need the one you already have to work better.
