What Darlene's Clients Say...
Michele Israel, Educational Writing and Consulting
In this professional coaching project, Michele was working on a significant education project and wished to further her practice and understanding of Dialogue Education™. Darlene provided a sounding board, design feedback, suggestions for sequencing, learning tasks, asked questions to increase clarity of purpose and outcomes, and more.
I had considered signing up for a professional development course, but working with Darlene negates the need for that at the moment. She offers customized assistance, something you cannot get in a class. There is nothing generic about Darlene’s approach. Her guidance draws on every aspect of the work you undertake, and zones in on the areas that could use bolstering, or a theoretical base, or more information. That specificity helps to heighten your professional skills and knowledge. It helps you target the areas in which you might need improvement...or, better yet, validates what you already know and do well.

Tom Crawford, Consultant & Trainer
President & Principal, Praxis Northwest LLC
Over the past three and a half years, Darlene has been a valued teacher and mentor for me in learning the Dialogue Education™ approach to learning design. She has patiently introduced me to the basic principles and tools of Dialogue Education™, and has been very generous with her knowledge, experience and time in helping me apply Dialogue Education™ to my own designs. She has challenged me with just the right questions to help me get to the next level of understanding and skill in Dialogue Education™, and engaged me in both practical and profound discussions about learning and organizational change. Prior to my work with Darlene, I had removed training from my consulting practice. Due in large part to her coaching and mentoring, I successfully designed and delivered training modules for a large client organization, and for local community forums. Now Dialogue Education™ is a central component of my practice, and I seek out opportunities to provide training services to my clients.
