ENGAGE designs workshops and courses that focus on applied, experiential and interactive activities that get people fully involved in their own learning.
In coaching situations, ENGAGE helps people identify their existing skills and strengths, define their challenges and develop practical approaches for moving forward that suit their life and personal style.
Why work with ENGAGE?
Participatory Learning
ENGAGE believes in getting people involved fully in their own learning. Training activities are participatory and use applied learning approaches.
Learner/client centred
Using various coaching and training techniques, ENGAGE helps people identify and build on their own strengths. This builds ownership of the outcomes and the confidence to tackle future issues.
Integration of theory and practice
Jenn Ellis of ENGAGE has a Masters of Adult Education, a certificate in Executive Coaching and years of practical experience in designing and implementing approaches that support the development of people’s skills and knowledge.
Tailoured approaches
ENGAGE understands every training and coaching initiative is unique and requires careful design. There is no cookie-cutter approach to meeting people’s desired learning or coaching outcomes.
