Customized Trainings

Below are a list of the trainings I provide to teams and organizations. These trainings can be customized to meet your organizational needs and time frames.

“Over 20 of our team members participated in an Art of Hosting workshop to learn practical and highly applicable discussion techniques. It was immediately evident that the highly adaptable tools fit our culture of engagement. Over the last year, workshop attendees repeatedly used our newly acquired skills to effectively facilitate varied discussions and decision-making. And we hired Kevin to deliver training to our full staff. We value this approach and experience and continue to benefit from it.”
