I Don’t Just Provide Instruction…
In my FoCuSeD™ Facilitation classes, I don’t just provide instruction. I provide you with content and then we discuss, practice, and relate it to your work and life. You bring your concerns, your past experiences, and your questions. I share my 39 plus years of accomplishments and mistakes, so we learn from each other making the class a personal development experiential session. I keep my classes small so that I have time to devote to you. The assigned topics you facilitate relate to real life making learning relevant. I want you to continue learning and developing your new skills, so I provide you with my over 600-page reference guide that reinforces what I teach, and you learn.
In short, in 4 days, you get my devoted time, energy, passion, and experiences inspiring you to immediately apply your new skills.
“Learning new skills is not an event, it’s an ongoing process.”
