EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
Programming for students, staff & admin
Empowering the Next Generation
How do we prepare young people—future leaders, activists, parents, and global citizens—for the complex challenges ahead? Education should be more than grades and competition; it should foster empowerment, bold vision, and the skills to bring meaningful change.
With experience as a teacher, program coordinator, youth mentor, and advisor, I’ve worked since 2016 to create alternative learning models that re-center well-being, purpose, and critical thinking for both students and staff.

-
Student workshops & mentoring (core skill-building, project-based learning, self-care)
-
Yearly school programs (start-of-year skill-building, end-of-year closing camps, summer programs)
Bring these programs to your school and invest in transformative education.
Core Focus Areas
Workshops and training can include topics such as:
-
Emotional intelligence & non-violent communication

Self-care & time management

Critical thinking & inter-cultural understanding

Conflict transformation & facilitation

Build your team's capacity, vision, & frameworks
Aligning Vision with Action
Your work is important. With the right tools, strategies, and workplace culture, you can bring about the change you envision. Together, we’ll refine policies, practices, and team dynamics to help your organization thrive.
As a consultant, I work closely with your team to understand your vision, challenges, and goals. We then co-create a tailored strategy that includes capacity building, problem-solving, and ongoing support to ensure lasting, positive change.
How I Can Support Your Organization

Organizational Framework Review – Strengthen decision-making, policies, and structures
-
Strategic Planning & Systems Thinking – Align your mission with actionable steps
-
Workplace Culture & Team Development – Conflict resolution, team building, and fostering a healthy work environment
-
Year-End Reviews – Assess challenges, strengths, and future direction
Let’s work together to build stronger, more effective teams and organizations.




Our sessions with Ben were a catalyst in helping us move forward from the block that we were facing at that time, and to restrategize effectively. Before we would often find ourselves all over the place with our goals, but now our focus is a lot more clear and we are able to prioritize what comes on our plate. This has boosted our confidence in our work and in our objectives and we have got greater motivation to increase the magnitude of our work. Ben helped us to get a better understanding of where our personal goals are aligned with the organisational goals. It was an 'Aha!' moment for us to realize that we have so much more than we think.
