I bring a creative, participatory approach to collective learning, skill and capacity building and to the deeper work in developing a learning and evaluative mindset, culture and practices for continuous improvement by organizations and teams.
My wide experience includes developing organization-wide learning structure, strengthening peer learning communities, designing curriculum and talks, delivering trainings and workshops, participating in a cohort-based fellowship and facilitating dialogue.
