Workshops
The purpose is to offer something so compelling that it begins a conversation.
Dan Pink from To Sell is Human
A wide variety of workshops, seminars and keynotes are available. I am committed to ensuring that workshop participants have the most powerful learning experience possible. My job is to ensure that you meet your objectives, so I help you look at designing a workshop experience that allows you to achieve your goals. The best way to do that is through early conversations about your goals and institutional realities. This allows me to make suggestions, share ideas, and tailor workshops to contribute to your vision.

This is simply the single best teaching method available (the focus is college teaching). It guarantees deeper learning, the development of critical thinking skills, collaborative skills, social skills. Moreover, class becomes a fun, extremely engaging experience. Everyone should consider teaching with TBL, in any discipline.

Very thought provoking workshop - an unexpected pleasure!
I found it to be inspiring.
Thank you for your time and generosity.
This was the missing piece for me in my teaching practice.
It was very rich, fulfilling, inspiring and helpful.
To be effective for the complex task facing us, one also need a high level of teaching and learning expertise and that is impossible for most faculty to achieve. It requires a collaboration with someone like Jim Sibley who has the discipline expertise and a passion for teaching and learning that, quite frankly, I found to be inspiring.
I have never met someone so helpful. Always trying to find ways to help others succeed. As they say down here - good on ya mate!
