Successful Group Work: 13 Activities to Teach Teamwork Skills 

I combine 23 years' of experience as an adult educator, trainer and writer with my studies in positive psychology and positive education to help people learn and apply simple interventions to enable them to thrive and flourish in all aspects of their lives. I especially enjoy helping people discover and use their character strengths.

My educational background includes a Master of Education, a Master of Arts, and Certificates in Positive Psychology and Positive Education from Wilfred Laurier University. I've completed SMART: Stress Management and Resiliency Techniques - a mindfulness program for educators developed by UBC and in the process of becoming a certified mindfulness facilitator. I've completed Compassion Fatigue 101 training offered by the TEND Academy and will continue to learn how compassion fatigue affects the work that caring professionals do.

My experience with professional burn-out in 2015 led me to reflect on my own lack of self-care and adopt positive psychology interventions which I now share locally and internationally.
