“Jen Stanchfield’s warm, authentic, gentle, and engaging style makes everyone feel welcome and supported – even online.

I have attended multiple sessions with Jen over the last decade and always take away something new that I can use right away in my teaching and counseling.” — who?
Modeling a responsive approach to facilitation, author & educator Jen Stanchfield specializes in professional learning and community building programs for group facilitators, leaders, educators, wellness practitioners, and counselors. Jen guides practitioners in ways to empower participants and more effectively increase positive engagement, connection, reflection, belonging and wellbeing.
Programs are custom designed to intentionally meet your organization’s group development or professional learning goals, whether those goals would be best met with a stand-alone workshop or the continued support of an ongoing program or consulting.
Powerful learning requires more than just the right information.
It happens through experience, engagement, and reflection. Jen’s professional development workshops give educators, facilitators, and leaders the skills and tools required to use reflection as a catalyst for growth, connection, and meaningful change.
These trainings focus on supporting you in building practical skills and adaptable tools, so that you leave with strategies to immediately integrate into your work. No matter who you serve or whether you’re looking to deepen engagement, strengthen relationships, or increase impact, Jen will support you in moving beyond passive instruction into experiences that truly engage and transform.
