Educating - Facilitating - Coaching

 
 

Education

I work with teachers, students of all ages, administrators, corporate, and non-profit groups in various sectors to deepen their confidence and knowledge about Indigenous Education. I work alongside Indigenous colleagues to deliver trainings, and lead workshops in dismantling White Supremacy on my own. I am currently a Lecturer at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and the University of Toronto at Mississauga.

Facilitation

I am passionate about gathering people in one place to bring about transformative change. I am an engaging facilitator and dynamic speaker. I work with organizations looking for a fresh perspective on meetings, visioning, or debriefing.  I have facilitated large scale corporate meetings and smaller Collective Wisdom Circles. I work with tools such as Open Space Technology, World Café, and Collective Wisdom Circles to activate the knowledge and potential in groups. I have also facilitated Collaborative Inquiry processes with teams of educators to enhance the outcomes of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in schools.

Coaching

I trained as a coach with my late mentor Tammy Neilson from Creating Realities. I have been in private practice as a coach since 2016. As a coach, I work with

  • academics, professionals, creatives, attune to their inner knowing, explore new possibilities and imagine new futures in their career and life paths.

  • non-Indigenous folks who work with Indigenous communities to examine our impact in the work, manage burn-out, and to work against replicating colonial attitudes and doing further harm to Indigenous communities.

  • anyone who wants to develop internal resources and connections to their own stories from a lens of confronting white supremacy.

  • non-Indigenous organizations to help them dismantle the white supremacy in their organizations as it relates to building relationships with Indigenous communities.

  • Indigenous leaders to support their work and stand beside them as they navigate systems designed to keep them out.

I offer a complimentary 30 minute discovery meeting for those interested in coaching, to see if we are a good fit. If you are interested to learn more, get in touch with me today by using the form below!
