Inspiring Expansion of the Reach and Social Impact Of Existing Educational Content

I look at your existing content, thinking of how to repurpose, refocus, and reuse it. Using what I know about children’s development, I help adults think through how children learn, what environments are best suited for learning, and how children - from pre-school to early teens - can most benefit from your content. 

I also have the connections to spread your content much more widely. I can help you find opportunities to use your content with different populations, in different formats, and different environments. For example, content can be used in a program for youth in the criminal justice system, or complex content can be adapted for developmentally appropriate use with children..

Ideation Advising On Educational Transmedia Content Development

I help make your content accessible to those you wish to reach. I especially focus on helping you create high-engagement, “sticky” resources for young learners, helping adults understand child development. I have a process I’ve used that is very effective:

Developing New Programs and Media: I offer a process that is not easily obtained (nor affordable) from traditional consulting firms, including: 

1. identifying what inspires the client using techniques like “mind mapping” to create a first step to building a pathway ; 

2. looking at immediate needs and the themes that surround them;

3. brainstorming 2 or 3 themes around which story arcs can be developed;

4. delivering to client a set of scenarios and story arcs from which they can choose for me to develop.

5. providing sample types of potential connections to educational or related partners, underwriters, and co-producers

6. making those connections

Connecting You To Strategic Partners.

I have an extensive network, and a history of making unexpected and successful connections between people and organizations to extend the reach of educational content and programs. When you hire me, I’ll use my process for identifying potential points of connection between your work and my network.

Coaching Leaders & Creators:

I support leaders of organizations and content creators as they move through the processes of program and content development, organization building, connection and partnership creation, and mindset shifting. 

I advise on how to help engage staff and stakeholders in creating solutions. Based on my expertise in adult learning theory and practice, I bring to my coaching the ability to help clients build more effective adult-adult collaborative relationships.
