Dan Bielenberg

Never let formal education get in the way of your learning.

Mark Twain

 

As a lifelong learner, Dan appreciates both formal education and learning by doing. His approach to facilitating and teaching follows this same approach—to introduce new methods and ideas, and help people connect them to their own experiences. We all learn from one another’s stories and challenges.
