My presentation style is boring as heck! Just kidding ... I am an engaging speaker with a sense of humour to keep the audience interested. I ask the audience questions and ask for examples to illustrate the material I am sharing with them. I tell stories about my work too!

Audience participation is key to making this session lively and engaging. I will create "committees" within the session participants and include role playing to accentuate the interpersonal dynamics found within committees. This is in conjunction with my PowerPoint presentation.

Growing up isn't easy. Changes. Transitions. It's awkward--even painful. Nonprofit organizations also grow and change. That, too, can be frustrating. We'll help you understand the predictable phases of moving from an "organizing board" to a "governing board" to an "institutional board" and help you successfully navigate through these challenging waters.

I believe in a mixture of audience participation, direct presentation, and interactive discussion. Also an actor and musician, my sessions begin when the first person walks in with a unique conversation to make the group comfortable with sharing. I'm never behind a podium; I'm always in the crowd.

I am a big believer in-- and implementer of-- interactive activities that engage all personality types. I use pair/share, introspective work, and larger group discussion. For this workshop I will use pair/share for the opening and closing, small group scenario discussion, and individual reflection.
