    Charlie Did It!

    It’s pretty obvious that our country is experiencing some political divisions, to put it mildly. We’re divided in the news we watch, the science we believe in, and even what we consider to be civil and human rights. Thanks for listening, and please join our community!

    Mistakes

    I’m afraid to try something new, because what if I make a mistake? One of my missions in life is to make adult learning experiences like trainings, workshops, and professional development not suck! I figure, how are we going to make the world a better place if we keep repeating the same problems, and keep doing the same things over and over again?

    Are You Cancer Free Now?

    I’ve felt the pull to create this series I’ve decided to call “Did We Learn Anything?” As a consultant and presenter, my favorite part of facilitating a session is the Q&A. Folks get to share what they are thinking about, and wrestling with. It’s less about what I think they should know and more about what they really want to know.
