College is a huge transition for students and parents alike. Colleges and universities are struggling with the extent to which parents and families should be involved with their students’ higher education experiences.  I offer workshops and services to support all three stakeholders during the college years: families, students, and institutions of higher education. For institutions topics include: Parents as Partners: Effective Strategies for Navigating the College Transition and Partnering With Parents: Institutional Strategies for Success. For families and students, topics are tailored to the audience and include: The Six Key Areas of College Adjustment, Helping Your Graduate Prepare for and Adapt to College Life: What Every Parent Should Know, Reaching Your Potential: Setting Goals and Motivating Yourself for Success, and Claiming Your Education: The High School to College Transition.

Hire me to do an external review for a wide variety of curricula, programs, and services. Recent external reviews have included Disability Services and First-Year Experience and Advising at Berklee College of Music; Integrating Advising and Career Services and Integrating Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Across the Curriculum for St. Mary’s College, and Academic Services Programs with a DEI focus for Providence College. For more examples, references, and details, please view my CV here.

These workshops are designed either to be delivered directly to students or to faculty and administrators who wish to learn how to effectively teach success topics to students. Topics range from understanding self-regulatory behaviors, reading and note-taking strategies, developing self-advocacy skills, creating a healthy work-life balance, stress management or focusing in the digital age.  I will partner with you to develop a workshop to help you meet your students, faculty, and administrators “where they are at.” For more examples, references, and details, please view my CV here.

Book me for a keynote tailored to your audiences’ needs whether it’s assisting students to understand the pitfalls and challenges of college, helping parents to support their students from a healthy distance, helping educator inspire students or getting businesses to turn their groups into effective teams.

Make an appointment for a one-on-one consultation.  Let me help you figure out how to recognize your potential. That is, do you have a goal and you just can’t figure out the steps to reach that goal?  Do you want to create a strategy for success or think about concrete ways to improve different areas of your life? Let’s talk about the potential barriers that may be preventing you from recognizing and realizing your potential. For more examples, references, and details, please view my CV here.
