Workshops & Training

Practical training for the people shaping young leaders

Every session is built to be used the next day — in a classroom, a staff meeting, or at home. Sessions run from focused 1-hour talks to multi-hour, hands-on trainings, and scale from a single school to a full district.

Signature

Executive Functioning in Practice

Audience: Teachers, admins, paraprofessionals, parents Duration: 1–3 hours

A hands-on walkthrough of Peg Dawson’s eleven executive functions — impulse control, working memory, emotional control, flexibility, task initiation, sustained attention, planning & prioritizing, organization, time management, goal-directed persistence, and metacognition — translated into real classroom and home strategies that adults can use immediately.

Signature

Decreasing Anxiety & Stress

Audience: Students & staff (grades 6–12) Duration: 45–60 min presentation

A candid, high-engagement talk built from real personal and professional experience, giving students concrete coping strategies for anxiety and stress before they’re emotionally triggered. Previously delivered to audiences of 900+ students in a single sitting.

Emotional Intelligence

Leading With RULER

Audience: Educators, parents, students Duration: Flexible

Grounded in Dr. Marc Brackett’s RULER method from Permission to Feel: recognizing, understanding, labeling, expressing, and regulating emotion as the foundation of trust-based leadership and collaboration.

Staff Culture

PD By Educators, For Educators

Audience: School staff / whole-building PD days Duration: Half-day or full-day

A facilitation model for building staff-led professional development — helping teachers design and present their own workshops so your building owns its own growth, instead of importing it.

Learning Theory

Zone of Proximal Development

Audience: Teachers & instructional staff Duration: 1–2 hours

A practical look at Lev Vygotsky’s findings on meeting learners where they are — what they can do unaided, what they can do with support, and what’s not yet within reach — and how that reshapes instruction and feedback.

Culture & Conflict

Restorative Relationships

Audience: Staff, students, families Duration: Flexible

Practical restorative practice tools for repairing and rebuilding relationships after conflict — turning breakdowns into stronger working relationships instead of lingering tension.

How It Works

Every workshop is tailored, not templated

Tell me your audience, your time window, and what you’re actually trying to change — and I’ll build (or adapt) a session around it, drawing on 30+ years of doing this work in real schools.
