Learning experiences unlock the lifestyle you have and ultimately desire.
Skill-building is a secret weapon against life’s adversities, no matter where you begin your journey. When life has knocked me down, learning a new way to operate not only ensured that I stay up when I’m back on my feet.
Our most powerful learning moments are experiences. So experiential learning is the corner stone of how I help people face the challenges in their own lives. To you that hurdle may be passing and exam, conquering a certification, or finding love or repairing relationships family or getting a promotion at work. My job is to put you on a path of experiences that build a collection of skill and confidence in what you have accomplished in my training programs.
I got started in this business building a simple training curriculum and leading a team of young people to build computers, which I knew well as a fresh computer engineering graduate. That role showed me how experiential learning rapidly transforms what people are capable of. This isn’t learning for the sake of education, it is the essence of how people grow through life. One teachable moment after another.
I formed the basis of a teaching style that evolved to teach K-12 students, young adults and seasoned professionals over the next 15 years. In that time I created courses that trained hundreds of students and teachers, technical professionals and instructional specialists. I’ve held titles such as Program Manager, Media Developer, Technology Learning Specialist and Coach.
Most experiences don’t happen without other people. A relationship doesn’t have to be considered close to matter. We have relationships with the farmers who grow the foods we eat and the makers of the computers we look at daily even if we never think of it. I knew I couldn’t excel as a technical trainer without skill in developing interpersonal relationships.
I took a deep experiential dive into working with educators, coaches and trainers developing authentic relating skills, practicing radical intimacy and deepening my knowledge of healthier connection strategies.
In 2016 I developed the Human Operating System (H.OS) framework for learning, which focuses on how people naturally excel at growth and learning. In 2018, I launched a boutique training and coaching company to help you unlock and hone emotional intelligence that can be used to enhance your life and benefit the people who matter.
I earned a Bachelors in Computer Engineering from Syracuse University, Certification in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention with Columbia University, Mental Health First Aid Certification by the National Council and Non Violent Communication.
