Training and Coaching

Hiring consultants can get expensive, and I get that not every organization can afford to hire evaluators or consultants to do ongoing work. I provide training and coaching services to strengthen organizations' ability to do these things for themselves. At SWA I will work with your needs and budget to provide customized training to fit both. All of my training is designed to be interactive and hands on with minimal or no lectures. Some training I offer is:

I provide customized evaluation training to suit your organization's specific needs. I can offer a short course or coaching to train and prepare your staff to collect, analyze, and report data for a specific project. I can also deliver a more intensive course to prepare your staff to engage in evaluation from start (theory of change and logic models) to finish (analysis and reporting.

I provide customized training to coalition leaders and members to strengthen coalitions. I have comprehensive training programs that include everything from engaging community to reporting evaluation results. I can also design training to meet a special need, such as how to bring in more members or how to use data. 

Drawing on years of experience and lessons shared in our new Guidebook to Community Consulting (I wrote this with Dr. Ann Price), we provide customized training to organizations on how to effectively engage with community members.
