Do you manage subject matter experts who need to learn more about the artful science of teaching?
Do you have employees who need help developing learning programs or strategic L&D plans?
Do you have educators who need to develop skills teaching and/or assessing skills online?
Do you want a small group based experience on how to live the values of HIQ?
Communities of Practice (CoP)

Practical, group-based educational experiences are wonderful opportunities for DEEP LEARNING.
The magic of these interactions takes place over time, as we build trust, meaningfully share, start to develop new skills and transform culture. For that reason, your community of practice can take place over weeks or months, and operate on either a weekly or bi-monthly basis.
Outcomes of previous experiences (of varying lengths) have been:
-
Creating a meaningful strategic L&D plan in collaboration with co-workers.
-
Developing persuasive communication skills related to NGO fundraising.
-
Drafting an assessment structure and tools for the development of a Growth Mindset.
-
Designing a pan-university course in co-operation with cross-functional departments.
-
Implementing Harmonized Intelligence in the Secondary School Classroom.

Targeted Consultations

Personalized results require personalized support. I have worked one-on-one with some of the most forward-thinking organizations and institutions in North America, Africa, and Asia, and I relish the opportunity to dive more deeply into the specific needs of your community in order to customize the most powerful and purposeful solution possible. Targeted consultations take place on a project-to-project basis, or are carried out as part of a longer-term retainer agreement between myself and your organization or institution.
Deliverables associated with such consultations have included:
-
Creating a 2-tiered Leadership Certificate Program in continuing education.
-
The design, development and delivery of multiple online courses in the private sector.
-
Developing an online professional development program for innovation in education.
-
Drafting competency framework for Academic Advisors that helps to build cohesion at the provincial level, while allowing for customization at the institutional level.
-
Providing personalized HIQ implementation plans for private sector L&D departments.

Course Instruction

Teaching is at the core of who I am. No matter what design or development work I might be doing, I am always operating from my "teacher" mindset and leveraging my comprehensive toolkit of instructional methods. For that reasons, facilitating formal courses is a service I will continue to provide in conjunction with my consultations, research and written work.
