About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned.  I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas. 

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector.  But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education.  I look forward to our conversations.

Tangee, yes, there are many definitions of coaching currently in the marketplace. I would agree that in our coaching we encourage our subordinates & want to see them develop & honestly delegation is one way that this can be accomplished. We can find tasks that fit their developmental plan & delegate to them, in order to get them even more experience. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
