About Me:
I am a trainer, keynote speaker and event facilitator & a Director at the Jeder Institute. My background is in youth work, community research and community development and I believe in the power of tapping into the collective wisdom of a community to strengthen and build on what's already there. I provide Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) & Art of Hosting training for a range of organisations and government departments and assist with community inclusive strategic planning. I also provide professional facilitation for conferences, forums and events and I'm a founding member and Facilitator of the ABCD Asia Pacific Network, an accredited ABCD trainer, an Art of Hosting trained facilitator and a DRUMBEAT Facilitator. Lastly, I'm an International Faculty Member of the ABCD Institute at Northwestern University, Chicago, U.S.A. and a Steward of the ABCD in Action Network.
My dream:
For people to mobilise their collective wisdom to work together on large social issues.
I'm proud of:
My latest DRUMBEAT group - I am working with a group of men at the local HIV Well-being Centre! DRUMBEAT is a 10 week therapeutic program which is delivered through drumming - it's amazing!
