As a technology coach, I offer guidance to business professionals, teachers, musicians, and others to help them better understand technology in individual or group settings. The goal is to design the most appropriate technology to serve your personal, business, or educational needs, budget, and future planning.
Why do I use the term "coach" for my services? Coaching best represents how I combine technology with knowledge, skills, and application. I strongly believe that technology support starts with teaching and mentoring, identifying an individual's or group's initial level of understanding and their application needs. From here we can build a personal level of understanding that not only helps determine the best computer hardware and software configuration, but ensures that skill and understanding are in place to complement the tools.
Emphasis is placed on:- Identifying personal or organizational needs first; a technology solution, second
- Helping you understand the technology and your options
- Providing a comfortable and supportive learning environment
- Customizing one-on-one or group training
- Developing a long-range plan to achieve your technology goals
- Looking for a solution that fits within your budget
- Finding best-fit resources for current and continued support
- One-on-one, individual coaching
- Group coaching: seminars, in-service, or workshop training
- Lecture/demonstrations and keynote presentations
- Organizational planning and analysis for programs and curricula
