Assessment Insights Admin & Workshop Facilitation

Holding certification in several assessments, workshops, and exercises, I can offer facilitation around any of these offerings. Depending on the wants of the requester, I am able to facilitate all of these around self-reflections of writers, exploration of character builds, story framework, or world building, or other creative uses. These assessments can also be tailored and delivered towards specific individuals or groups.

  • Facilitation of Institute for the Future (IFTF) Future-Back Thinking Exercises: These exercises open up an opportunity to look at present day trends to examine future possibilities that offer insights into world building for writers, exploration of the community for cultural leaders, and strategic prioritizations for organizations.

  • Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Qualified Administrator & Debrief Facilitator: The intercultural development inventory is an amazing tool for writers to examine and reflect on their connection to their own culture and others; this is essential for writers who world build or craft characters and narratives across a diverse background of identities. The outcome of the assessment includes a writer crafting a development plan to strengthen their intercultural competence. This can also be utilized by teams to get a reflection on their collective intercultural competence and develop plans to strengthen this as a collective.

  • Mastering Emotional Intelligences (EQ) Level 1 Workshop Facilitator with TalentSmartEQ: For individuals wanting to understand their own emotional intelligence and how EQ can show-up for their characters, this workshop centers around the key deliverables from TalentSmartEQ and sets up development opportunities for the individual. (This is designed to be delivered to groups.) This can also be delivered to workplace teams in addition to writing groups.

  • Narrative Enneagram Teaching Certification In-Progress – availability projected for end of 2027
