“I was fortunate to attend a workshop in Dublin which was facilitated by Pam Schmid. From the beginning she made us all feel extremely welcome in a friendly yet professional manner, and this carried right through the day. She spoke about her topic and facilitated our learning and understanding with an ease which comes from her knowledge and passion for Coaching and Speaking, and sharing her learning’s and insights with others. Pam is very generous and open as a facilitator, and when speaking she shares rather than tells, and at all stages she is very engaging.”
Eileen Woodford, Nucleus Coaching & Training – Business, Retirement & Personal Coaching, Ireland

Pam has a presentation style that delivers valuable new concepts about patient education in an unintimidating way. She supports each aspect of this behavior change approach with tangible examples and a personal touch. This enables attendees to go back to work and apply these strategies in one’s clinical setting or to life in general. Her “take-away tools” will improve communication and educational skills through effective listening-a skill we could all use more of.
