The Extra Spark

Hi everyone,

It's wonderful to see this page grow! I shared a free sample last week and promised to deliver another one, so here it is:

Video includes links to slide deck and document.

I made this with working professionals and organizations in mind. The focus is on Loving Productivity and features a concept from positive psychology paired with an excerpt "On Work" from one of the most widely translated texts of the 20th century, The Prophet. Check it out and let me know what you think here or on YouTube.

Please share! If you know any professionals or organizations looking for an extra spark to inspire better productivity, communication, and community, share this page or video and let them know I do free consultations.

"Catch a Spark" is a weekly 10-15 offering that includes a fantastic concept, text, and method from 10 years of education. Have some input on what should be featured next week? Just say so!

FAN YOUR FLAME at theextraspark.com!

After a decade designing curriculum and facilitating development for teachers, principals, and area superintendents, I'm transitioning to something that lets me serve you while better aligning with myself.

Welcome to The Extra Spark, a personalized learning service for adults.

In starting this learning business, there was a lot I didn't know how to do. Now that I've lived it, I'm here to be an extra spark for you, ESPECIALLY if you're...

- returning to school for a BA, Master's, or extended learning
- looking to beef up skills and your portfolio to make a job transition
- a teacher still finding your footing in the classroom

So come to learn a skill, make a project, or a nail an upcoming presentation. Walk away with a high-quality product AND a deeper reconnection to the joy and vigor of intrinsic learning.
