Current Spotlight Topic…
Recently, Paulette has been asked to contribute to the discussions of Well-Being as an organizational concept for crafting a good life across the life span. To that end, Paulette has created and presented a workshop entitled: Crafting a Life of Greater Well-Being. This has been delivered as three-hours workshop but can be tailored to the audience, setting, and time available. Just click on the image below for a .pdf file of the presentation.
Comment: While the trend in today’s presentations is minimalistic with just key words accompanied by narrative, Paulette’s presentations are multi-dimensional and created with substantive standalone content. In settings with large audiences, individuals often take cell-phone images of slides so that they can revisit the content in the quiet moments of their lives. Paulette’s approach honors and respects this learning style.
