Trainings/Presentations

 

 

Trainings/presentations: Over the years, I have provided numerous short and long term trainings, break out session and conference presentations. Most of the topics were developed from within the three domains outlined on my About Page.

Others were specifically constructed for the agency or organizational needs. These are called Topical Trainings. Many were two hour presentations while others were two all-day affairs. The focus on specific needs, skills, and concerns of the agency made the translation and adoption of the information and skills easier to grasp and accept and more relevant to the participants. Each training topic uses the best research, promising models, and synthesis of actual practices and agency cultural domains within the organization.  Below are some of the topics.
