Discover the Possibilities
CRITICAL RESPONSE PROCESS TRAINING
The Critical Response Process is a four-step process for facilitating feedback. Created by Liz Lerman, this process can be applied to any work-in-progress – from writing grants to spinning pottery. The Critical Response Process teaches you to give feedback with curiosity, specificity, rigor and care.
This training and demonstration will give you the tools to transform how you give feedback and can help build a culture of rigor and intention around sharing critique.
I teach CRP with my collaborator Erika Moore.
PUBLIC SPEAKING AND PRESENTATION DEVELOPMENT
If presenting at conferences, public speaking, or talking about your work is an area of anxiety, I can help. This public speaking and presenting workshop is designed to help you develop the perfect story for your work and give you the skills to articulate that story in public.
The Public Speaking and Presenting Workshop can be focused specifically on an event or presentation or tailored to broadly meet the communication needs of you and your group.
FACILITATION IN EDUCATION TRAINING
Our model of education is shifting. The classroom, which was once seen as a simple material delivery system, must now be a healthy ecosystem of many ideas, perspectives, opinions, and outcomes. The complex and pressing problems of today require our students to be able to listen closely, think with agility, risk fully, and act collaboratively.
This Facilitation in Education Training helps leaders in the classroom hold educational spaces that allow for students to think instead of just memorize, to learn tools instead of just answers.
ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCY PROGRAM
This Artist-in-Residency program helps cultivate a creative research environment. I will observe lab and research work, interview and get to know researchers, and host development sessions in order to create a brand new artistic event featuring your business or lab.
The Residency program culminates in a creative event that celebrates, markets, and tells the story of the work your lab or company is doing.
BROADER IMPACT DEVELOPMENT
Writing a grant for your research? I can partner with you on developing the Broader Impact section of your upcoming grants. If you’d like to your work to stand out at the next conference, let us help you imagine creative ways of telling the story of your work. My creative base of performers, musicians, dancers, and visual artists can help bring your impact to the next level.
I have experience working with astrobiologists, sustainability scientists, aerospace designers, and cancer researchers.
This offering is customized per grant and can be tailored to any research method, subject, or area.
