Education and Training Consultancy
Paulina Howfield uses her skills in Education and Training Consultancy to research, write, develop, deliver and evaluate education and training packages to suit individuals, organisations and corporations. Since the 1990s she has created and implemented Education and Training packages in Universities, Colleges, Hospitals, Government Departments and NGO’s, in the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Paulina ensures that all her Education and Training Packages are holistic and life enhancing. While her curriculum and content will always maintain Educational Standards and ensure that Key Competencies are met, she recognises that training participants are more than just a brain and have emotional and physical ways of interacting with training that affects how they absorb and use information. So all her packages incorporate Right-Brain Education and KOV Techniques to ensure that she engages with both sides of the brain and complement the different ways in which we learn. She also includes Psycho-Educational Methodologies and Life-Skills Components and uses her skills in Psychology, Counselling and Integrative Arts Therapy to develop the Emotional Intelligence and Self-Awareness of each participant.
