Speaking

There is nothing quite like sharing ideas together with other people in the same room.  I love participating in rich conversations and I have delivered professional presentations at dozens of events, including educational workshops, seminars, and inspirational keynotes. 

Topics I present and facilitate on:

  • Collaboration and working together
  • Humanizing care and/or work
  • Changing narratives, changing culture
  • Relational care in teaching and practice
  • Arts and health
