For Your Team
Getting your staff or board together outside the office is a great way to connect, generate ideas and learn. We’ll help you design a session that keeps the conversation flowing and is engaging and fun.
All of the sessions are highly interactive and will have you and your team on their feet and learning through doing.
I work with two very talented partners, Dr. Don Waisanen, PhD, an expert in strategic communication and an improvisational theater trainer, and Anne Townsend, CFRE, a seasoned fundraising expert. The three of us have run hundreds of trainings, board and staff offsite meetings. Depending on your needs, you’ll have the right person in the room.
