Designed for Professional Success and Personal Fulfillment: |
|
We design courses for professional success and personal fulfillment to reach “A Whole New Mind” as defined by bestselling author Dan Pink.” The future belongs to a different kind of person," Pink says. "Designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers — creative and empathetic right-brain thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't." Pink claims we're living in a different era, a different age. An age in which those who "Think different" may be valued even more than ever. Design with Joy thinks about and delivers continuing education differently. Discover the difference for yourself!

| Designed for Effective Communication - We Do Not Do Bad Power Points: |
|
The purpose of our learning experiences is to communicate emotionally to your right brain (through appealing images) and to your left brain (with our words). Seth Godin identifies four components to a great presentation that Design with Joy incorporates into our learning experiences.
|
|
 |
Cue cards - our presentations include narration that ensures we say what we intended to say.
Reinforce not repeat - our graphics reinforce the narration they do not repeat them. |
|
|
A leave-behind - our presentations, online and face to face include a wealth of resources available for reference after the formal presentation. |
|
|
Feedback - our presentations include multiple points for informal and formal feedback and assessment. |

Save Paper, Save a Tree: |
|
According to the environmental site Conservatree, 17
reams of paper can be made from one tree. Design with
Joy online learning and seminars are committed to
reducing paper consumption and waste. We minimize paper
with electronically maintained and distributed records
and handouts. For necessary paper consumption, we
use recycled paper or paper from sustainable foresting
practices. Using 30% post-consumer content copier paper
saves 7.2 trees (40 cartons) per ton. We also patronize
eco-friendly printers for our marketing; specifying 10
pt. paper stock, consumes 30% less tree pulp than
conventional 14 pt. stock. The Printer is also powered
by 100% Green Energy from renewable sources.

Reduce Miles Reduce Emissions:
Carbon dioxide emissions are about 40% higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution and at their highest levels in recorded history, covering over 650,000 years. Online learning and multi-purpose journeys are practices in line with our commitment to reduce travel and waste products for a light footprint on the planet.
We encourage you to consider combining your trip for a seminar with another trip, or carpool or get it online, see Design with Joy Online Courses.

Creative Prosumers:
The term Prosumers was coined in 1980 by the futurist Alvin Toffler—in his book The Third Wave—as a blend of producer and consumer. Design with Joy respects you as a professional and welcomes opportunities to share your learning experience in our courses, through case studies, projects, testimonials, and / or evaluations.
