Update & Review My Work-Life Balance Plan: In my workshops on personal and organizational wellbeing, I help nonprofits improve their personal resilience through life-work balance and self-care.

This is a very important concept for instructional design -the way the room is set up effects how people learn. I strongly believe that a workshop, panel, master class, or even a keynote that is interactive is more engaging, people pay attention, they make connections to what they already know and are far more likely to apply it.

I love teaching (and learning) and it was a pleasure to work with students, nonprofits, and faculty. I don’t often encounter people from nonprofits in this stage because they won’t attend a workshop or a peer learning activity. If they do, they are typically “resistant” learners, often questioning the value of the technology.
