Education & Training

Select one of my law courses for your New York funeral director event.

Book Me


Master your profession–and more

As a licensed professional in New York, you are required to complete a number of approved continuing education courses before you renew your license. But approved courses for funeral, human resources, and legal professionals don’t have to be boring recitations of things you already learned. You can increase your professional development and get your CEU credits.

In my continuing education courses, we discuss recent news headlines, common missteps, and ineffective thought processes that cause those missteps. I also disclose how to form new brain patterns to keep you safe–and maybe even make you happier.

Build skills to navigate an ever-changing world

Do you own a small business that is not a funeral home? Are you a licensed professional in another industry? Or are you a freelancer without experience managing people?  You might not need continuing education credits, but you probably need more than the check-the-box training typically offered for compliance.

Compliance is mandatory, but you also need skills. You’re hearing women call on others to smash the patriarchy. You see minorities demanding that white people dismantle racist institutions. Yet you have no idea what actions will produce the desired results.

Even people who see the limitations of traditional systems:

  • Aren’t always sure where to begin,
  • Say the wrong things, or
  • Say nothing out of fear of repercussions.

They hide out and hope the issues will resolve on their own.

They won’t. Instead, ignored conflicts regarding diversity in the workplace will often escalate to illegal discrimination, harassment, and hostile work environments that cause good employees to leave–and sue.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Through diversity training and other professional development, we can all build skill in discussing emotionally-charged issues and in resolving the related conflicts. We have to risk talking about the issues that make us uncomfortable. Only with practice will we improve.

Using my training in employment law, human resources, and ethno-religious mediation, I facilitate diversity training workshops that create space for:

  • Open dialogue
  • Deep healing, and
  • Effective action toward unity in workplaces and other communities.
