Workshop Title: Visual communication – THE leadership skill of the 21st century.

Increasingly complex work processes and situations create communication challenges. Simple visual language, however, can help you too say more with less. Even when you think you can’t draw, you can learn to speak visually.

Speaker Bio:

Everything she does as a visual skills trainer and coach, graphic recorder, visual mediator and facilitator, steams from an intention to invigorate creative power in order to navigate change, establish sustainability and build trustful relationships.
After a career as a design department leader, she nowadays works internationally as a visual catalyst to increase the impact of presentations, workshops, strategic meetings and conferences by providing visual translation and by teaching others how to communicate and facilitate visually.
The training programs she designs and offers, such as the online Visual Skills Training academy she founded, help trainers, facilitators, coaches, educators and leaders from all over the world become resourceful and self-reliant in their communication so they can facilitate impactful dialogues.

Every month, I host a roundtable that brings together top minds in the learning and development space to network, learn, and support each other as we all keep up with the latest in the Learning and Development space and grow our organizations. Join us virtually or in person (at the UN in Nairobi), and enjoy access to an engaged, excited group of your peers along with access to my portal of resources and 5+ years of meetings!

It’s my pleasure to invite you to the Friday, March 22nd Learning & Development Roundtable from10 am to noon East Africa Timezone (click here to convert to your timezone if it’s different). I’m particularly excited to welcome you to this month’s guest speaker, Anna Kuhmunen, a traditional Sami reindeer herder from Northern Sweden who will join us via Zoom.Workshop Description:

I will share with you the love of my Sami culture (my indigenous group from Northen Sweden) and how I work with non-Sami people to educate them about us “the fighting generation.” I started my company, “Silba Siida” because I’m so tired that hardly anybody in Sweden knows anything about my people, regardless of what generation you ask.
For my children’futurere, I want to be able to look them in the eyes and let them know that I did everything I could for them to carry on our proud traditions despite many challenges of discrimination. That the Swedish people hardly know anytning about us is dangerous. They say that my terrirotory is wilderness, but this it not widerness. My people have been here for 10.000 years. It’s my passion to share my culture with others and also what I’ve learned about working to educate others, often the same people who have historically done the discrimination.

Anna’s bio:

Anna Kuhmunen, a traditional Sami (indigenous person from Northern Sweden), is the co-owner of Silba Siida, an organization that educates people about Sami culture, traditions and history. Before she started her business Anna worked for many years for Swedish National TV (SVT) hosting Sami children’s programs, as well as touring internationally performing traditional Sami singing called Joiks. Anna just released her first book about reindeering herding with dogs. Her and her husband come from a long line of reindeer herders and carry on the tradition today sharing their Sami culture with others, garthered around a roaring fire in a traditional Sami tent called a Lavvu, while sharing a variety of homemade reindeer delicacies such as mince, sausage and reindeer rib soup. While her guests relax on reindeer furs, Anna shares her sacred Joik singing, all of whcih combine into a magical memorable experience. You can find out more here: www.silba.se

Life Lenses® and Goal Setting
2018-12-06 10:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Every year, clients come to me whispering the same secret.
They know they need to make a plan if they want their organization to be successful.
They know they need to have the processes to implement that plan if they want their actions to be effective.
And yet, the very thought of planning makes them want to run.
Can you relate?
I get it. Most of the planning systems out there work for a very small segment of the population who just happens to jive with them. But for everyone else, they’re too limited, too rigid, too boring, too complicated, too guilt-inducing … the very thought of them sends people running.
Because let’s be real: you’re busy. You don’t have time to implement some super-complicated uber-plan. You don’t want a generic plan that probably won’t work for your organization, much less your work style.
That being said, you really want 2019 to be the year you finally get yourself together and start having the impact you know you could with the right plan and processes. Quelle dilemma, right?
But what if you could craft your most effective, most enjoyable year yet … in just one afternoon?
(Hint: you totally can.)
I work with smart, savvy seekers and meaning-makers on a globally-minded mission to make the world (or at least your corner of it) a better place, and I can show you exactly how to create a plan that covers all your bases — and leverages your innate strengths.
The truth is, the world DESPERATELY needs more of what you have to offer. I can show you how to carve out some time to craft a year that fits you to a T so you can take off, jam-packed with both a dream to chase AND an anchor to hold you steady and on course while you chase it.
The result?
You get out of trenches of frustration, fatigue, and flopping about, shut down shiny object syndrome, and get a plan and a process to custom-tailor your best year yet.
You get the confidence that comes from knowing where you’re headed and EXACTLY how you’re going to get there. (Seriously, can you feel your blood pressure lowering?)
And ultimately, you get to dive in deep to the things that matter the most to you — making the world a better place in your own cool, creative way — knowing that you’ve got the plan and process to translate all that heart and energy into tangible, exciting effects.

How do I know it works? Well for starters, 100% of the people who have taken the course would recommend it to others. Plus they say lovely things like:
“The Life Lenses® have totally revolutionized the way I work — everything from my weekly planning all the way up to my yearly goal setting is just so. much. easier. And I feel so much relief knowing that I’ve got a system in place to help me both see my blindspots and really double down on my strengths.
The years before I used the Life Lenses® planning method started out great and then descended into craziness. In the years after using the method, everything just works, which means that I have so much more time to do the things I really love. Plus, I get better results with everything I do, because now I’m not stuck in my own perspective — I can now see possibilities that wouldn’t have even been on my radar before.” — Rachel Allen, Bolt from the Blue Copywriting.
So if you…
— Secretly fear that you’re wasting your time flopping about from one thing to another while your big dreams go ignored.
— Feel like you’re banging your head against the wall with the same planning challenges when you try to sort all that flotsam and jetsam in your head.
— Know there’s got to be a better way and you’re open to learning how.
— Crave more space & time to effectively work on the issues that really matter to you.
— Want it all but don’t want any bad medicine / suffering along the way.
Then I’d love to show you how to:
Create a solid start on a plan for 2019 that includes time for reflection, figuring out how you want to feel, what systems you need/want and more.
Use a bunch of fun tools to guarantee your plan fits you like a finely tailored Italian suit.
Learn how to get a 360-degree perspective with your Life Lenses® Assessment results. (Translation: you’ll overcome your built-in biases and blind spots and uncover opportunities and ideas you never dreamed of!)
By the end of the day, you’ll have a plan that’s custom made for you so you can work towards doing that stuff only you can do. (‘Cause you know the world needs more of your secret sauce, right?)

“Before this workshop, I hadn’t really thought about my goals for next year –– they felt too big and too nebulous. The workshop both got me making specific goals (realistic and ideal) and helped me come up with ideas, practises and systems to make sure they actually might happen!” Marsha Shandur

Imagine if you could…
Put all your energy into designing a custom plan for 2019 instead of fussing and farting around with worry about how you are (or aren’t) spending your time.
Get to the end of 2019 feeling on track, energized, focused and — glory, hallelujah — accomplished.
Relax and trust your own planning, instead of being all uptight and wound up with stress because you’re spinning your wheels deeper and deeper into a trench that isn’t your choosing.
Have fun, creative, super-simple strategies to pull out of your back pocket any time you feel like you might be getting off track.
Here’s how it works:
Click to pay the $97 USD course fee —>

Once that’s done, you’ll receive juicy great resources, including the link to take your Life Lenses® assessment, AKA the first step to customizing your 2019 plan.

— Your Life Lenses® assessment results; your key to planning a fun, fab year that puts you into high gear.
— My assessment for identifying systems that you need to get you working faster, easier and with waayyy less stress (they’ll make you sigh with relief – we’re talking major-level, Calgon-take-me-away relief that lasts all year!)
— Audio and visual recordings of the course so you can choose which works best for you.
— Ongoing support from me in the form of weekly tips and techniques that help you apply all the good stuff you’ll learn and help you start to use your newfound skills.
— An online treasure trove of resources that I’ve created over the last 20 years of training. There’s so much goodness in there, this bonus alone is worth more than the price of admission!

From Overwhelm to Organized; Technology Tips & Techniques to Serve You
2018-11-08 18:00 - 21:00 (Africa/Nairobi)
Technology is supposed to make life easier … but more often than not it becomes just one more time suck.
Every other day there’s a new app or new software “you just have to try!” and you secretly wish everything would slow down — just a teensy bit — to give you time to catch up.
Think about it: your bank’s gone online, your kids’ school messages you through Whatsapp, heck, you’re even supposed to know how to control the temperature of your house from your cell phone!
And the weird thing is, everyone else just “gets it”. They seem to pick up on the latest thing with ease, while you’re still trying to get your head round the last big thing.
Don’t get me wrong, you’re not against all of this techy progress — you’re not looking to get back to the time when it took like 3 hours for your dial-up to connect. You just need things to be a little clearer, a little more … accessible.
Because when it comes to technology:
— You don’t have the time to muddle through “how to” guides that require a PhD-level education to get past the first page.
— You’re sick of feeling like the only person who doesn’t “get it” — hey, you’re not that old, right? You remember chuckling at your mom when she couldn’t work the VCR and now you wonder if you’re turning into her…
— You’re actually pretty curious to find out what the fuss is all about. I mean, who doesn’t want to take advantage of things that’ll make life easier, especially when your schedule is just so darn hectic.
Panic over, I’ve got your back!
I work with smart, savvy, seekers and meaning makers like you. Women (mostly) who are globally-minded and who are on a mission to change the world — or at least their small corner of it. Women who aren’t about to let a little thing like a slight(ish) fear of new technology hold them back.
Because all of the lovely new tech available to us really is a gift that can help us amp up our efficiency and make our lives sooo much easier. IF we can figure out how to harness it.
Imagine if you could…

Feel capable, energized, encouraged, and confident when it comes to tech. Instead of burying your head in the sand when you hear about the latest time-saving app, you’ll be lining up to get your hands on it!

Have fun as you discover how to benefit from the power of very simple tech tools (Yes I just used fun and technology in the same sentence. I stand by my choice!)

Gain control of your to-do list. Because life is frantic and you really don’t want to miss out on ANYTHING that’ll help make running your day-to-day schedule easier.

Reign in those mind numbing, soul sucking, repetitive tasks that drive you batty — I’m looking at you, finance records and diary management.

Master simple tech tools without having to learn a bunch of jargon, without hours of hard slog, and without getting sucked into the time-wasting black hole of the Internet (you know, the place where they keep all those cat videos…)

Be more efficient so you can devote space and time to the things that truly matter to you; the unique gifts you have to offer the world.

There are soooo many free, easy tech tools out there and I can show you how to harness them effectively, helping you reduce overwhelm, make your life easier, and amp up your efficiency so you can recharge, reboot, and (re)activate your superpowers. I’ll introduce you to uncovered possibilities haven’t even dreamt of; ways of using tech that will free up your time, letting you get back to what really matters — making the world a better place in your own cool, creative way.
It’s time to set aside the fear that you’re “past it” (you’re really not!), or that you’ve “missed the boat”. (You haven’t. Promise).
You’ve got this; you just need a little help in navigating all of that lovely new technology.
You need to find your way from Overwhelm to Organized.

Bonuses:
You’ll get access to the course recording; both audio and visual, so you can choose which works best for you

You’ll receive once a week tips and techniques that’ll help you apply all the good stuff you’ve learnt and help you start using your newfound skills.

Training of Trainers
2018-10-18 18:00 - 21:00 (Africa/Nairobi)
“The best teachers teach from the heart, not the book.”

Have you heard that one before? Isn’t that cute?
Now forget it!
You already know that loving a subject and being able to teach it well are two totally different things. That’s why you’re here, right?
I’m willing to bet that at least one of these sounds familiar to you:

You’re burning and yearning to teach but get brain freeze — when you try to teach, nothing comes out. Suddenly your tongue is tied up tighter than a bank vault.
The thought of public speaking gives you literal, waking up at 2am in a cold sweat, nightmares (and the old adage of imagining everyone naked is decidedly unhelpful, and a little disturbing!)
Maybe you’ve taught before but you secretly fear that, horror of horrors, your fabulous content didn’t sink in. It was the glazed eyes of your students that gave it away.
You know in theory that it’s important to appeal to all different kinds of learners but you don’t have the first idea how to do that.
You’re Overwhelmed (with a capital O) and don’t know where to start. How do you organize your material? How much should you include? How to teach so you’re not lecturing? Do you really have to wear a tweed jacket with elbow patches?
You need some quick, interesting techniques — that are simple but not simplistic — to move forward so you can get up and running quickly with your teaching.

You’re in the right place.
I work with smart, savvy, seekers and meaning makers like you. Women (mostly) who are globally-minded and who are on a mission to change the world — or at least their small corner of it.
No matter how important your information is (and we both know how hard you’ve worked to master your area, huge high five!), no matter how excited you are about the subject, if you don’t know how to share it effectively … it might as well not exist. I know, serious stuff, right? But relief is at hand.
It’s time to mix passion with strategy.
I can show you how to:

Dip into a vast toolbox of simple, easy tips and techniques that you can use right away (AKA before your next workshop).
Use proven methods for designing an effective curriculum, structuring trainings, and delivering them in a way that works for everyone in the class (and not just the people who learn like you), while encouraging maximum retention.
Confidently address ANY room and know that you can get your subject across articulately and effectively –– even if right now, the thought of public speaking makes you want to curl up in a little ball.

I’ll share my top tips and techniques that I’ve honed by teaching more than 20,000 participants from more than 120 countries, in diverse settings from slums to the C-Suite.

Together we’ll pull you out of the trenches of teaching frustration, fatigue, and wheel spinning and get you effectively teaching with ease.
— No more feeling like you’ve totally wasted your time because you can just see the information trickling out of your students’ heads as they walk out the door –– and you know that this time next month they’ll barely remember who you are, much less what you taught them.
— No more feeling like you’re banging your head against the wall with the same teaching challenges — the so-called “problem students” you’re struggling to reach or those harder-to-teach concepts that never quite seem to hit the mark and leave your attendees scratching their heads.
— No more lying awake at night worrying that you’re expending all of your energy on techniques that don’t actually work, or spending hours trawling Pinterest for teaching tips, only to find advice that doesn’t really seem relevant to your students or the subject you’re teaching.
Instead you’ll be able to teach confidently, be seen, heard, and understood while lowering your blood pressure and getting back to what’s important to you — making the world a better place in your own cool, creative way by teaching your cool, creative content.
I’ll show you what to do to make everyone feel included and the steps you need to take to help your students enjoy themselves and engage with the material. Because, as you know, when you’re enjoying yourself you find it soooo much easier to absorb, remember, and practice what you’re learning so that it’s actually effective long term.
You’ll discover pocketfuls of creativity you never knew you had so you can amp up your next workshop, impress your boss, your students — and yourself.
Soon, you’ll be designing and delivering workshops with ease and grace, in ways that are super impactful and leave lasting learning.
Lee-Anne has given me superpowers.

Learning about how people learn has been transformative for me – and for my clients, and everyone else I teach. Now in my teaching, I know what to do in order to make everyone feel included, which helps them enjoy themselves, which – most importantly – helps them learn, remember and practise what I’m teaching, so that it’s ACTUALLY effective. We’ve all been to those workshops where, a month later, we remember nothing and nothing has changed.

Thanks to what Lee-Anne has taught me, my workshops will be ones that lead directly to people learning, remembering, and incorporating what I’ve taught them. ~Marsha Shandur, Storytelling Coach and Networking Mentor, YesYesMarsha.com

Learning and Development Roundtable
2018-09-21 10:00 - 12:00 (Africa/Nairobi)
Every month, I host a roundtable that brings together top minds in the learning and development space to network, learn, and support each other as we all keep up with the latest in the Learning and Development space and grow our organizations. Join us virtually or in person (at the UN in Nairobi), and enjoy access to an engaged, excited group of your peers along with access to my portal of resources and 5+ years of meetings!
This month’s gathering is a networking session. That means I’ll introduce the topic & then we’ll work in small groups (’cause you’re all so fabulous & deserve to share your shine).
We’ll focus on ‘discovering your why’ (aka Simon Sinek’s work – crystalizing where you want to focus & make a difference) & then we’ll create multi-media motivations that are custom fit for you.
Please join us online or in person. And to receive regular invites & get access to all 5+ years of meeting resources join our mailing list. Welcome!

Working Better Together
2018-09-12 18:00 - 21:00 (Africa/Nairobi)
Do you have that burning feeling behind your eyes sitting in meetings sometimes, when you feel brittle & like if you move, a geyser of tears is going to erupt?
Do you ever roll your eyes when you find yourself in the same annoying communication quagmire once again & despair how to ever get out of it (with your eyeballs intact)?
Do you feel Ignored, left out, talked over, under estimated over & over?

I work with smart savvy, seekers & meaning makers who are globally minded & have a mission to change the world (or at least your corner of it), BUT you’re stuck with some communication & conflict resolution challenges & you need some quick, interesting, simple but not simplistic techniques to move forward so you can recharge, reboot & (re)activate your super powers.
I can show you how to dip into a vast toolbox of simple, easy tips & techniques that you can use right away (before your boss has a chance to ignore you again) so that you can get out of the trenches of frustration, fatigue & spinning your wheels so you can see & feel the light again.
And you’ll have more confidence, be heard, seen & acknowledged while lowering your blood pressure & getting back to what’s important to you – making the world a better place in your own cool, creative way.
Through my Working Better Together course, you’ll have all that & more simply by investing 3 hours with me live (no canned lectures here!).
Do you:

Feel like you’re banging your head against the wall with the same communication issue?
Know there’s got to be a better way & you’re open to learning how?
Crave more space & time to work on the issues that really matter to you (& not the current ones that are dragging you down & out)?
Yearn to get rid of that bad taste in your mouth & sear to the soul when one more dude talks over you or mansplains?
Want it all but don’t want any bad medicine or suffering along the way?

I will show you how to:

Communicate with more ease & clarity so you’re better understood & heard
Discover pocketfuls of creativity you never knew you had so you can amp up that next work &/or personal project to impress your boss, your team & yourself

Soon, you’ll be handling the changes & challenges life throws at you with more comfort & resilience so you can put the pedal to the metal & get on with creating the social change that’s important to you

Imagine if you could…

Instantly know how to change directions when you bump against communication issues (& those bozos at work).
Dazzle yourself & others with your communication dexterity
Be understood with ease
Understand others with ease
Creatively approach your work & life challenges

How it works:

The workshop was life changing and inspired.The trainer/facilitator was so informed and practical. ~Joseph Egesa,UNOPS
Lee-Anne’s calm presence and facilitative style enabled us to learn so much. The team deeply appreciates the introspective process and the acknowledgement that all lenses are needed to be successful. I strongly believe that what we did today, will go a long way in our appreciation for each other as a project and also in understanding what kind of support our partners will need. ~Catherine Mbindyo ,Senior Network Learning Manager, BRICS East Africa
I am recommending Lee-Anne to everyone. ~Vishalini Lawrence, Somalia Stability Fund
