Are you looking for a dynamic and experienced speaker for your library or nonprofit’s next staff education day? I can help. With over 35 years in libraries and a doctorate in education, I bring both practical expertise and an engaging presentation style to every session. Whether you’re planning a full-day retreat or a series of short workshops, I tailor my programs to meet the unique needs of your staff and organization.

I offer a wide range of topics designed to spark ideas, build skills, and strengthen your team. Your staff can learn how to conduct effective focus groups to better understand community needs, sharpen their communication skills, or explore creative strategies for marketing and outreach. I also provide practical sessions on photography basics—perfect for staff who want to capture engaging images for your website, social media, and promotional materials. Additionally, I can guide your team through ways to rejuvenate your meeting culture, helping transform gatherings into productive, inclusive, and energizing experiences.

Whether delivered in person or as an interactive webinar, my sessions blend hands-on activities, real-world examples, and actionable takeaways. I understand the daily challenges of library and nonprofit work because I’ve lived them—and I’m passionate about helping staff at all levels grow and succeed. Let’s work together to create a meaningful learning experience for your next staff day.
