In time I would be able to co-train with some of the finest trainers in the land. Along with this I learned the difference between leading and facilitating. I was schooled in the fine arts of facilitation and enjoy developing a process wherein my clients can express their needs, their vision, identify barriers, and develop problem-solving strategies and work plans as individuals and communities. One of the highlights of my consulting experiences is being able to blend art &amp; culture into my presentations. It allows my clients to access mental, emotional and awareness states that enhance their sense of clarity, community and decisiveness. Following 20+ years of working, training and consulting in the areas of program development, community building and cultural diversity, I am presently available for work on projects on a contract basis. <br><br>My work ranges from: training, facilitation, strategic planning, program development, team-building, keynote addresses and motivational presentations. <br><br>I value a thorough needs assessment and understanding of my client&#8217;s goals. I have the expertise to custom design facilitation and training projects in line with these needs &amp; goals rather than just utilizing a premade package. <br><br>My trainings may be very interactive as in Team Building Processes, or highly engaged in deep discussions in small or large group settings, while digesting relevant research, as in Strategic Planning. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Educator of the Year, Washington State Indian Education Association<\/strong><br>April 2017, Annual Conference, Spokane, WA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Indigenous Social Emotional Development and Schools, Training for educators, administrators in building partnerships with Native communities enabling them to welcome Native SEL\/SED teachings, activities &amp; experiences in their schools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training and Facilitation for Community, School or Agency Issues, Needs, Planning, Team Building, Staff Development, Organizational Development, Strategic Planning, Collaboration, Conflict Resolution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Community Builder; Project Development, Stakeholder Building, Needs Assessments, Strategic Planning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leadership and Facilitation Skills Training for Community Builders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trainer of Trainers, experienced in building the capacity of organizations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multicultural Issues; Effective Programming and Practices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Empowerment; Philosophy, Strategies, Programs, Victim to Participant, Lifestyle Changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fostering Healthy and Resilient Children with Family, School and Community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anger Resolution.
