I help talented teams improve their effectiveness by taking their productivity and organization practices up several notches with high-quality workshops.

I help teams improve their culture and productivity with great workshops.

I have led hundreds of workshops and retreats for companies - and feedback consistently shares that the time was engaging, practical, and impactful.

Because your team’s capacity is everything when it comes to the impact you can have.

My presentations are for real people who juggle the modern stress of leading teams, managing projects, raising families, and navigating the millions of other obligations nipping at our heels on any given day (travel dreams, kids extracurriculars, mealtimes, and so much more)!

My presentations are power-packed with tools, perspectives, systems, and actionable steps that are road-tested by a leader with decades of experience who understands the logistics, guilt, and anxiety that we face on a daily basis.

Adult learning should be practical and joyful. We won't just inspire in these workshops—we'll help your team change real behavior through skill-based training.

How We'll Design Your Workshop

From our first hello to lasting behavior change and less stress for your team, here's the path we'll walk together, so you always know where we're headed and what to expect.

Start here

We start with a conversation

Before anything gets designed, we talk. I want to really understand your team, your goals, and what a real win looks like for you.

Built for your team

I design it around your team

I'll build a custom workshop design for your team that meets your needs, fits your context, and builds on my experience as a trained educator and the 200+ workshops I've led for teams over the years.

A few easy decisions

We align on the details together

A handful of quick choices make the day feel seamless. We'll settle things like:

No surprises

You get the full run of show

Ahead of our time together, I send you the complete plan, so there are no surprises for you or your team, and you can walk in feeling ready.

The main event

Workshop day

Warm, interactive, and engaging. Your team's thinking is seen and heard. They leave having done the work, not just watched a presentation.

So it sticks

Everyone leaves with a toolkit

I follow up with resources and a few gentle accountability nudges, so the ideas stick once the day is over.

Lasting impact

We make it last

We gather feedback, celebrate your team's work, and I stay in your corner, with a friendly check-in down the road to see how it's going.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do virtual or in-person workshops? Both. I’m comfortable doing workshops virtually and have a quality technology set up to ensure we have an effective online learning experience. I also love traveling to be in-person with clients and am happy to see if we can make that work for your team. I am located in the SF Bay Area.

How long are the workshops? It depends on group size, content, and a few other factors, but most of the above workshops can be done in 60-90 minutes. We can stretch to 120 minutes if we incorporate good breaks for participants. Sometimes we do a full day with multiple workshops with breaks in between, and this approach can work well for teams wanting to invest in their teams and have shared language.

What is the ideal size of the group? This can also depend on the experience level of the group and the topic, but workshops can be successful with as few as 3-4 participants and I’ve led workshops with 200+ participants as well.

What’s your background? I have worked in the education, nonprofit, and business arenas for over 20 years. I have been an award-winning classroom teacher and a successful entrepreneur in both the nonprofit and business sectors. I have decades of experience leading adult professional development on many organizational and individual topics.

What do you mean by “workshop”? While I do enjoy public speaking, these are not speeches. These are engaging workshops where your team will be actively involved in their own learning and applying it on-the-spot to real challenges they are facing in their day-to-day work.

What’s the pricing? Your investment in your team is $2,500* per workshop, and this includes

  • Before-session meetings (as many as are helpful) so that I can personalize the workshop to your teams’ specific needs and plan ahead for how to make the learning as successful as possible.

  • Live, high-quality workshop for your team

  • Post-session follow-up resources for your team to reference and deepen their learning, designed especially for your team’s needs

  • Raffle prizes for participants if you are interested in this approach (which can help deepen engagement for particularly large groups)

  • If in-person, this price includes printed materials for your staff

*I am a former nonprofit Executive Director, and I proudly offer a nonprofit price of $2,000 per workshop to support your team in the important work they are doing. There will be an additional fee for groups larger than 75.

Longer workshops or retreat facilitation rates are $4,000 for a half-day and $6,000 for a full day. For nonprofits, these rates are $3,500 and $5,000, respectively.

If workshops happen in person outside of the SF Bay Area, a travel fee of $1500 also applies in addition to lodging, transportation, and food costs for the trip to be reimbursed afterward.

I am a proud member of 1% for the Planet, which means that I donate at least 1% of my topline revenue directly to organizations working on solving our climate crisis.
