I’m Joanne Shank, M.Ed., an educator, speaker and facilitator, and the creator of The Imperative of Being: Elevating Personal Agency and Meaning.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in education, I develop practical learning experiences that help individuals deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships and enrich their lives and work. These guides bring that approach into self-paced inquiry, reflection and experiential activities.

I offer talks and interactive workshops for organizations, groups and event planners. For group use of these guides or a learning experience tailored to your audience, visit JoanneShank.ca.

My work as an artist also informs the creative explorations found in some guides. You can discover that work at DamselflyCreations.ca.
