Workshops, training & speaking

Customized, evidence-based learning brought to your team.

Bring evidence-based animal welfare and conservation training to your organization.

Training is built around the animals in your care and the people who look after them — not a generic curriculum. Sessions combine current science with practical application, so your team leaves with things they can use the same week.

Formats

  • 90-minute workshops
  • Half-day trainings
  • Full-day trainings
  • Multi-session programs
  • Ongoing staff training
  • Custom educational programs

Example topics

  • Developing an enrichment culture

    Moving a team from enrichment as a checklist to enrichment as a way of thinking about animals’ days.

  • Improving animal welfare assessment skills

    Practical observation, welfare indicators, and building assessment into routine care.

  • Understanding animal communication

    Reading body language, behavior, and vocalizations — and what they tell you about welfare.

  • Building evidence-based programs

    Finding, evaluating, and applying research so decisions rest on evidence rather than habit.

Custom topics are welcome. If your team is working on something specific, training can be built around it.

Speaking & facilitation

Keynotes, conference presentations, panel discussions, and facilitated workshops.

I speak on animal welfare science, enrichment, the connections between welfare and conservation, and what it takes to turn research into practice. Facilitation is also available for strategy sessions, working groups, and convenings where a neutral party helps a group reach decisions.

Pricing

Each session is quoted individually. Cost depends on format, length, group size, and whether the session is delivered remotely or on site. Travel is quoted separately.

If cost is a barrier, say so — rates are not fixed for everyone.

Looking for training for yourself rather than a team? See webinars and self-paced courses.

Tell me about your team, the animals in your care, and what you’d like them to be able to do differently afterward.
