Facilitation & Workshops

What makes me a powerful facilitator is the unconditional love that I show to each and every participant I work with, and my deep passion and love for making everyone feel like they equally belong.I bring my emotional intelligence and sensitivity to every facilitation experience I work on, and create magic through the peer to peer learning and sharing that occurs.(Research has shown time and time again that people learn way more from their peers than their managers or someone in a position of authority.)My experience includes facilitation of the following specific programs.I'd love to work with you on any of the below, OR would love to hear about your priorities, and can collaborate with you to create a custom program or event.ASIAN AMERICAN ERG WORKSHOPS
