Let’s get personal!

I offer:

Workshops & presentations that are Informative, entertaining, practical and empowering

Consultancy, advice & training, for teachers, librarians, students…

I believe that you don’t have to be ill to get better.
I believe in lifelong-learning, and instilling a love of learning in others.
I believe there are no dumb questions.
I believe that “the opposite of critical thinking is uncritical thinking” (Winn).
