Nick’s interest in teaching was sparked by three summers working with the (bilingual) Parliamentary Tour Guide Program in Ottawa, a job for which he received extensive facilitation training. He has taught credit courses at the university-level and more informally as well.

Nick currently offers three full-day staff development workshops that he would be delighted to offer in your community.

The day covers:

  • Health and homelessness

  • Innovations

 

Workshop #2: Supporting marginalized groups in housing

I recently had Nick give all three of his workshops to my staff on successive days. The workshops were a real hit and I recommend them for other non-profits as well. Nick was wonderful to work with.

We recently flew Nick up to Iqaluit to deliver all three of his workshops. We enrolled our own staff, as well as staff from other organizations in the community. It was a great way to bring people together in an engaging way.”

President and CEO, Nunavut Housing Corporation

I’ve taken one of Nick’s workshops and cannot recommend them enough. He really works hard to get the content right and then delivers the material in an engaging way. Whether you’re front line or in leadership, you won’t be disappointed.
