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.

The Coaching Process

Some great points Kim. I think it's a great idea to ask them how they think others are seeing their behavior as that helps emphasize that their are results of their behaviors. Ryan

Customizing Your Presentation

Yes this is a great strategy when you don't have the opportunity to get to know the audience ahead of time. And you are right, you do learn so much from the small talk. Ryan

Great points Stephen. Clearly you are the type of teacher who exemplifies this & a good reminder to all of us to be paying attention to these issues as we are teaching. Ryan
