Quotables
*All quotables are from the interviewee 
  • When you are the expert…it’s often hard to make the information digestible for others because you want to give so much. 
  • Facilitators who really hit the nail on the head, get to know their learners. 
  • When you can be willing and transparent to show all the data, that’s when growth happens. 
  • As a PD facilitator there is a time to be the GPS and a time to be the map.
