Facilitating and Teaching

 

Strong interpersonal skills and a deep intuitive sense are unique competencies that I bring to any setting. If you are seeking a skillful facilitator and communicator, adept at reading and interacting with an audience or group, then I am a good fit for you and your organization.

I also excel at:

  • Curriculum and course development.

  • Meeting facilitation.

  • Teaching with a focus on application and team-building.

  • Developing manuals, printed materials, visuals, presentations.

  • Online course development and teaching.

  • Developing surveys, evaluation tools, use of focus groups.

  • Understanding and translating technical information into accessible language.

I have an excellent track record of participants learning from and applying teaching, courses, and sessions. My classes, coaching, and meeting facilitations always receive excellent reviews.

  • Listening and synthesizing input and information.

  • Creating tools and curriculum for various learning styles.

  • Reflecting back what has been said and summarizing.

  • Asking questions.

  • Written expression.

  • Making things creative, fun, and engaging

 

Thanks SO much for your excellent leadership and awesome Embracing Change and Transition teaching tonight. You are so gifted, and skilled with such an ease and finesse with your material. A perfect blend of content, energy, activities and flow. Two different people stopped me in the parking lot to say how much they got out of the material and how much they appreciated your teaching! Great, great, helpful and pertinent info.

Thank you for all your help and guidance last week. I cannot believe how much I learned and how much I have been able to use in just two days. You were a great resource for us and I cannot thank you enough for the insight you provided. The class really provided me with some insight and the program you helped me with is making great progress.

Hi Shirley,
I especially enjoyed teaching and working with you. I love watching your comfort in front of a room and your skill in being quick on your feet when a comment isn’t what you expected. I so admire how skillfully you connect participants’ contributions to the points you’re making.

Shirley: You round out our team - you make us a what we are - we really could not be the team we are without you. So you are our greatest gift!

My heart is overflowing with delight and hope! Thank YOU for your gracious gift of time and sharing your insights, stories, and experience and abundant encouragement. You have given us much to chew on and inspired us to surrender this to God in prayer and trust he will lead us in his kingdom work. We are so grateful to you and your generosity…can’t wait to be in touch again!
