What We Do

Arts-based Experiential Learning

Remember the Karate Kid Movie? When Mr. Miyagi agreed to mentor Daniel after he rescued him from a bully, he put him to work doing things that seemed unrelated to becoming a karate expert, but in the process strengthened Daniel in ways he didn't realize. 

We take a similar approach. We teach through unfamiliar (yet fun) experiences that support high level skill development and facilitate a shift in perspective. 


This is possible through our partnership with Creating Futures that Work. Their 10 years of National Science Foundation-funded research and development of their Arts-based experiential learning system™(ABEL) is the foundation for most of our training. Our program is additionally enriched by activities leveraging brain science, health science, body mechanics & rhythmic expression . The focus of our training is to help meet the cognitive needs, emotional needs, physical needs, professional growth and spiritual need for purpose, in a job that is as impactful as it is important...Caregiving.

Benefits

Arts-based Experiential Learning System

For caregivers, the difference between high-performance and average involves more than technical proficiency. Most caregivers must receive training and formally demonstrate competence in the tasks and duties required for their job. Often considered the core of caregiver work, we treat technical skills as the foundation upon which to build next-level caregiver performance.


The ART of High Performance Caregiving develops an interconnected set of soft and hard skills for whole-person caregiving. This is accomplished by immersing participants in advanced leadership training activities, powerful neuroarts exercises, and training in simple, high-impact personal routines. We guide caregivers as they challenge limiting beliefs, learn to see differently, adapt creatively, and strengthen resilience. By fostering engagement, curiosity, and teamwork, our program helps caregivers shift from merely performing tasks to actively engaging with their work. This results in enhanced team dynamics, proactive collaboration, and improved creativity when solving problems. Equipped with a transformed mindset and new skills to match, caregivers leave ready to go beyond expectations and contribute to a culture of innovation and care that will set any organization apart.

Who We Serve - Why We Do It

This training has given us the privilege of serving the caregiving community including: caregivers in independent living, assisted living, memory care and nursing homes. We also serve activity directors, nurses, therapists, doctors and leaders of caregiving institutions, including hospitals, home health caregivers. We also serve decision makers for aging and long-term care in government. 


We provide a professional certificate to graduates of The ART of High-Performance Caregiving, as well as additional training opportunities that will be coming soon to expand professional growth and skill development. 

We do it because we care. Once you've had an experience with high-performance caregiving you can settle for nothing less for your loved ones. Once we realized we had a key to helping caregivers grow and become, happier, better prepared caregivers... we had to make our strategy available. 


‘There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.’
