About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Robert, this is a great description. I especially like the addition of "with the assets at hand." I think this is an aspect that is often overlooked. Dr. Ryan Meers

The Capable Coach

Marjorie, this is definitely a tough situation. I would agree with your description that what you are experiencing is not coaching. It is, at best, management. I would encourage you to seek a mentor that would be able to provide the coaching & encouragement you need. While not ideal, it might help some. Dr. Ryan Meers
