Next stop: Crested Butte, Colorado!

I am so excited to be keynoting for the Colorado Association of Financial Aid Administrators. It is a joy to spend time and support the incredible people who keep so many students’ futures moving forward every day!

Ice Cream Social Work keynotes and workshops focus on practical workplace wisdom you can start using on Monday morning. The goal is to make the work you are already doing feel more connected and a little lighter.

Also… if you have any local gems in Crested Butte, I would love your recommendations!

See you soon, Colorado 😊

Ice Cream Social Work

If your conferences, retreats, team building, or PD days need more “this was useful and fun” and less “we survived that,” I’ve got you!

Keynote & Webinar - The I'm Fine Fix: Practical Habits for Happier Workdays. We’ll celebrate everyday wins (like sending that email without rewriting it five times) and consider realistic ways to function better and feel better (one small win at a time)!

Workshop - They Said What?! Shapes for Effective Communication. Ever wondered why you click instantly with some coworkers and struggle with others? You can use shapes to learn why! 〽️🟢🔺🟦 Bonus: Connect, delegate, motivate and collaborate more effectively. Extra, extra bonus: Fun to learn, easy to remember, realistic to implement. Your team will refer to shapes for years to come!

Soooo if you're thinking right now "my team does something like this every year!" or "we really need something like this!" I would love to tell you more. Let’s connect! 😁

A very special thank you to Barrett Photography for her amazing video and photo skills!

Behind the scenes: new speaker reel in progress! 😁

A lot of Ice Cream Social Work looks like micro-joy, connection and workplace culture... But occasionally it looks like "I don't know what to do with my hands!"

New speaker reel coming soon!

Ice Cream Social Work has officially landed in the Big Apple!

Tonight I had the opportunity to connect with so many brilliant, talented undergraduate leaders from across the country. They are all here to explore new possibilities for their future careers... How cool is that!

Tomorrow morning I’ll be joining a cohort of 40 of them for thoughtful conversation, questions, and a shared space to kickstart their three-day externship experience.

Stay tuned for photos, reflections, and a few behind-the-scenes moments from our NYC adventures with Ice Cream Social Work!
