CommuniTEA with LaDonna

What is CommuniTEA with LaDonna? CommuniTEA events is participant-centric facilitation comprised of three core developmental concepts:

1. Participants’ interaction and collaboration are the central focus. All training events will focus on the development of the students, not the facilitator’s expertise.

2. A principal objective is to meet the participants’ fundamental expectations for training.

For example, the offerings will be timely, relevant, insightful, practical, and useful.

3. Experiential learning and action learning strategies, methods, and practices will be implemented. This includes, but is not limited to, the experience of afternoon tea. Impactful learning experiences are engaging and communal. Nestled within the art of afternoon tea are beautiful embellishments, infusions, aesthetic pleasures, and extraordinary hospitality. These elements encourage psychological safety, thereby supporting a safe training space for interpersonal risk-taking wherein participants feel accepted and respected. Although not initially apparent, training and afternoon tea are balanced compliments. The training objective for any CommuniTEA event is to inspire and support participants in their development journey by creating learning experiences that stimulate growth and progression. If these events also produce afternoon tea enthusiasts, that would be a thrilling accomplishment as well.
