How to Get an Interviewer to Say “You’ve Got It!”
Miramar College | San Diego, CA
Fall, 2024 | Specific date and time TBD.
Whether going for an internship or a job, there’s insider information that every applicant needs to know. Soft skills are little mentioned but so highly prized that they often make or break the interview. This workshop covers the 3 types of soft skills and ways to enhance them as people go about their normal activities. The theme is: Get prepared for the real interview!
Make Time, Have a Life, & Prep for High Performance!
Miramar College | San Diego, CA
Fall, 2024 | Specific date and time TBD.
Time can get away from us. Sometimes there’s too much to do. Other times a deadline sneaks up and throws us into a panic. High performance avoids both! This workshop focuses on a little-known method of reverse engineering tasks, as well as making more time for having a life. It’s all about “My tiME”!
Problem Solving – The Missing Links that Make It So Hard
Miramar College | San Diego, CA
Fall, 2024 | Specific date and time TBD.
Computing, calculating, problem solving – they’re no small matter! They’re an essential part of coursework and life as well. Many of us find them draining and frustrating. But that can be fixed with know-how! This workshop presents what few have been taught: there are two types of problems that require two different types of thinking. Once that’s known, simple frameworks can be used to effectively – and permanently — improve anyone’s solution finding abilities.
Memory & Learning – Your Dynamic Duo
Miramar College | San Diego, CA
Fall, 2024 | Specific date and time TBD.
We all have memory struggles. It’s common to have trouble recalling information we’ve “learned.” And that brings on worry about learning well enough, which leads to more recall lapses. But few people know how to fix these issues, and many believe they just have a poor memory. Not so! Poor remembering is not a condition; it’s lack of training. With knowledge about the recall funnel and know-how about how to actually learn for the long term, those experiences will be past memories!

USDLA Conference
July 17-20, 2023
We are excited to present 2 workshops at the USDLA Conference this year!
Instructional Design for Learner Engagement: Getting to the Design Behind the Design
2.5 hour pre-conference workshop
This interactive workshop takes a deep dive into the learning that produces lasting change. Truly transformative learning requires cognitive and affective experiences. This seminar introduces an innovative way to assess both, predict performance, and then design individualized paths to success. The approach is particularly useful for online courses and training where technology can support personal learning paths. Tested in skills development and lecture courses, this ground breaking method is for teachers, trainers and coaches who want to empower real change!
The Chemistry of Success for Online Learning
90 minute workshop
This workshop provides solutions for online course disappointments. Online courses and trainings don’t fare as well as face to face classes, even when the materials and instructor are the same. What’s missing? It’s the engaged mind that comes from person to person interactions and guidance. But both can be created online with leveled thinking and feedback activities. Tested in the most demanding online environment – an online chemistry lab – as well as lecture and skill development courses, this unique approach creates the chemistry of success!
