• FACULTY DEVELOPMENT TRAINING AND CONSULTATION:

  As a recently retired faculty member, I know that many of my peers from around the country are considering retirement. And that most colleges and universities are presently unprepared to assist faculty who are anticipating retirement. Resources and support are scarce for helping faculty to anticipate their future and plan for a retirement that takes advantage of their skills and life experience, while helping to prevent excessive anxiety and psychological stress. Charting Your Personal Future can assist colleges and universities in providing faculty development services aimed at psychological and emotional aspects surrounding the life transition of retirement. Workshops, training, ongoing groups, and counseling sessions can be arranged.

GROUP AND TEAM-BASED TRAINING:

• USING GROUPS AND TEAMS IN SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY CLASSROOMS:

  Teamwork is a fact of life in the workplace today and it will become even more important in the future. Schools and universities are becoming increasingly involved experiential and team-based methods of instruction, ranging from cooperative learning to Problem-Based and Inquiry-Based Learning. Charting Your Personal Future offers time-tested training and workshops to school personnel and to university faculty to enhance skills in forming, managing, and supervising groups and teams in the classroom.

• USING GROUPS AND TEAMS IN THE WORKPLACE AND COMMUNITY:

  Managers and employees in a wide range of work settings, as well as organizers and leaders of an equally wide range of communities and neighborhoods, are turning more frequently to team-based efforts. Charting Your Personal Future can assist in developing the necessary skills and competencies for effective group and team-based leadership (and membership) through training and consultation services.
