About Althea

Core Values

  •   I believe that  good relationships are the key to successful meetings; every voice  matters and people support what they create.  Therefore, it’s important  that everyone has an opportunity to participate in a way that feels  comfortable and allows space for their learning style.  My meetings  include various formats for engaging with the topic such as individual,  pair, small group, and large group work, as well as session components  that incorporate visual, auditory and kinesthetic aspects. The goal is  for everyone to have an opportunity to learn and contribute while  deepening relationships. 
  •   I believe that the “how” is as important as the “what”. Content and the ensuing  discussion certainly matter and they’re often the main reason for  holding the meeting.  How that content is shared or how discussions take  place, matters just as much.  Careful attention is paid to the framing  for each step of the meeting to address power dynamics and ensure equity  in participation. If there are any challenges for participation (e.g.  participants speak different languages), then those needs are addressed  ahead of time. 
  •   I believe meetings can be enlivening, well-organized, responsive, and finish on  time. I find that adults work and learn best in dynamic and experiential  settings where they get to reflect, both individually and collectively,  on what they did. Whenever possible, I embed fun and experiential  components into meetings. Much thought is put into the design of the  meetings so that they are organized and flow logically, yet there is  space allotted for the gems that pop up unexpectedly which often provide  important insight or new direction. All of this can be accomplished  within the time set for the meeting in order to be respectful of participants’ schedules if expectations are realistic and mutually  agreed upon in advance and if communication between parties is good.
