Not another boring P/D that’s for sure! All of my workshops are designed with connection in mind. I want to have your team laughing one minute and being moved to tears the next. It’s not so much what I teach, its how I make people feel that makes a real difference to whether change happens or not.

How it works

  • Pick your workshop and your delivery mode - It’s as simple as that. Pick your topic from the list or get in contact to arrange a tailored session. You can also pick your length of time (1.5hr min) to suit your event and whether you would like it delivered in person or via Zoom 

  • Presentation - No matter what style of learners you have, I’ve got you covered. Each workshop is carefully designed to combine my love to present with a variety of visual presentations, videos, small and whole group reflections, activities and planning time. You will get handouts and resources to support your ongoing journey of continuous improvement. 

  • Certificate - Certificates are provided for each participant for their professional portfolios.

  • Can’t pick? Let me know which workshops you fancy and we can arrange a package to be delivered throughout the year! You can also combine workshops with my “coaching and mentoring” support. 

    Want to explore this option? Get in contact.

  • This offering is for any Early Childhood Team who are committed to ongoing learning and continuous improvement. It doesn’t matter where you are on your journey as a team, making time to invest in your own learning is always a positive! Someone wise once said to me, “The more you know, the more you realise how much you don't know” I’ve carried this with me in my own identity as a forever learner.
