With over a decade’s worth of experience presenting and training, I’ve been able to been fortunate to work with hundreds of different groups. Through these experiences I’ve been challenged to customize content and approaches for diverse audiences, and it’s helped me identify ways to make workshops and presentations more valuable and engaging. My goal is never to teach technical skills. It’s to teach new ways of thinking about how you engage with the technology.
Below you’ll find some of the great schools and organizations I’ve worked with. I’d love to see your school, business or organization on this list! Let’s talk.
