Ann has many years experience creating & facilitating workshops.
She is skilled at determining the component parts of a topic & designing exercises to help participants develop helpful, relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
“Ann, you did a wonderful job in developing, fine-tuning & presenting this workshop—many, many thank yous.”
Ann makes learning fun:
- Her workshops are creative & interactive—exercises are varied and take into account participants’ different learning styles.
- She creates an atmosphere of learning—her attention to the comfort & ease of the participants breaks down barriers to learning.
- She makes adjustments to accommodate the participants’ learning pace—her experience as a facilitator & ability to think on her feet allows her to modify the planned program when appropriate.
- She sees her job as a “guide on the side” not a “sage on the stage”—her goal is to facilitate the participants’ learning, not to lecture them.
“Ann – the workshop was fun & lively. You captivated my attention. I didn’t have to worry about my typical head bobbing snoozing off. The bad news is I hadn’t slept much the night before & was counting on catching a few winks during the workshop.”
