Q - I am intrigued about the Inspired Learning Model ™, but am not an educator or trainer. Would this Model benefit me?

A - We have had confirmation from people from all walks of life about the benefits of the Model in their professional as well as in their personal relationships. We believe the concepts can easily be applied in many different situations and with enormous benefit.

Q - I am interested in taking some training, but was wondering if there was some way I could experience the Model first.

Q. I am a teacher and I feel I have been using what could be called an inspired learning Model throughout my teaching career; therefore, I’m wondering what benefit your Model would have for me.

A - We agree many people have been using tenants of this Model for years; however, others who have been applying something similar to the Inspired Learning Model™ tell us that our Model does offer elements extremely beneficial to them. We want to take the Model around the world in the next 10 years, to provide an opportunity for everyone to experience an honouring learning environment. We encourage you to come and experience our Model and, perhaps, find a way to work with us and help us realize our goal.

Q - You have my attention, but how do I know this isn’t just another flavor of the month?

A - We are a community of dedicated professionals who have experienced the Model ourselves, so we have realized the potential first hand. We have created the Foundation because we are committed to bringing this Model to the world at large so that everyone can have the opportunity to learn in an honouring and effective manner. Read what others are saying about the Model, or find an opportunity to experience the Model yourself.

Q. I am interested in making a donation to the Foundation, and would love to direct my money to a specific event or thing. How would I do that?

A - When this idea was raised previously, we liked the idea so much we created a support section listing items you might wish to sponsor such as:

• One or more speaking engagements by our Founder or other Foundation speakers.
• A training event. Our goal is to train as many Inspired Learning facilitators as we can each year.
• Contribute towards a scholarship fund, thereby supporting one or more individuals to participate in our training.
• An invitational for visionaries to connect with us and with each other while they are experiencing the Inspired Learning Model ™ for the first time. We would like to have a minimum of ten invitationals a year and we are interested in any ideas you might have regarding an invitational for any group of visionaries you might wish to engage in the Inspired Learning Model ™.
• A pilot project in a school or school system.
• A pilot project in a work environment.
• A fundraising event.

If you are interested in making a donation of any kind, please visit our Supporters page. Thank you.
