Training & Consultation

If you are looking for new and engaging ways to train your staff on important issues in social work, support and develop effective teams, facilitate meaningful and useful team meetings, or launch a strategic planning process, please reach out to me.

The following words from a former team member highlight my approach to supervision, training and consultation:

I often find myself using activities or practices from my time at The LAB when planning team and staff meetings and in my day-to-day work. Your approach to engaging teams and creating spaces where people feel valued and heard has always stuck with me, and I am constantly striving to foster team dynamics that make me feel as welcome as I felt at The LAB. I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring my journey to become a social worker and for the continued inspiration you provide me each day as I carry that experience with me in my work and life.

In Gratitude, a former LAB team member/Creative Arts Staff

Think in Possibilities stands for the work of transformation and well-being: yours & for those you encounter in your work, relationships, community.

If you are committed to your social work career, professional development, self-care, and personal growth, then you are in the right place. Think In Possibilities is a space of encouragement and inspiration to think outside of the proverbial box – and think, instead, in possibilities – in all the areas of your life.
