Click on the link above to download complete course information.

Social Media is well known for its uses in marketing, sales and personal communication. Yet the potential of social media to enhance the way we learn remains untapped.

In this course, you will explore how social media can facilitate workplace learning, increase learner engagement and deepen the impact of your existing training programs.

Through the use of case studies and personal examples, you will examine a variety of applications for using social media as an educational tool. You will have the opportunity to begin to develop a social media educational plan for your organization.

Workshops that Work
June 11-12, 2012, 10 am to 5 pm
Langara College, Vancouver, B.C.

Learn the techniques and trade secrets of training to encourage greater impact, longer retention and increased creativity. Learn how to make your training more inclusive and not, as many people do, use training techniques based solely on how the trainer (that would be you) learns.

Rock.Paper.Scissors works with you to actively demonstrate and provide lots of reflection time for increasing your capacity to ignite dialogue, discussion and dynamic exchange. Get going, move from good to great.

Taught by Lee-Anne Ragan, President of Rock.Paper.Scissors Inc., at Langara Vancouver, BC.  For more information or to register email or call Leslie Kemp at 604-323-5981 / lkemp@langara.bc.ca .

One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Conflict Resolution
July 10, 2012, 10 am to 5 pm
Langara College, Vancouver, B.C.

While conflict is universal, how we deal with it isn’t. This workshop takes a holistic view of culture (including ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexuality, ability, gender and more), to provide participants with a framework for how to build a culturally sensitive, collaborative conflict resolution process that can then be tailored to fit your individual communities and cultures.

Much of what we read about conflict states that there is one way to resolve all conflict. This cutting edge training takes an entirely different approach and demonstrates there are many ways to resolve the same conflict. Whether you are new to conflict resolution, want to improve your existing conflict resolution skills and/or are new to cross-cultural issues or want to improve your existing cross-cultural skills there is lots to learn for everyone. Great care is taken to facilitate a comfortable safe learning environment, with lots of room to practice and explore.

Taught by Lee-Anne Ragan, President of Rock.Paper.Scissors at Langara Vancouver, BC.For more information or to register email or call Leslie Kemp at 604-323-5981/ lkemp@langara.bc.ca

Life Lenses™ – Polish Your Perspective & Gain a Whole New View
Women’s International Networking Conference
Paris, France

It’s all about perspective. Come to this engaging, interactive workshop to learn about how your perspective is coloring your world through Life Lenses™.

We all wear these lenses, or filters, which affect what comes onto our radar easily, naturally and comfortably as well as what never makes it onto our radar.

“What we see depends mainly on what we look for” (John Lubbock).


Training Skills for HR Practitioners
Feb 2, 2011
BCHRMA, Vancouver, B.C.


Laughter and the strategic use of humour
Location: at your convenience, it’s a teleseminar, part of the Every Woman series

Consider the power of humour; 96% of surveyed US executives believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs, while an Ipsos-Reid poll found that 93% of British Columbians ‘believe that having fun will lead to a healthy, successful life.’  When practiced strategically a sense of humour is inclusive – it brings people together. When done appropriately, it can unite hundreds of people in a common action: teamwork through laughter. In our current workplaces where stress is high and differences are many, learn the power of humour to bring out the best parts of your team and help improve your workplace productivity and innovation.  Lee-Anne will guide you through a fun, funny and fast paced teleseminar designed to both highlight principles behind using humour to team build and leave you with many practical tools that can be implemented immediately.

    I came to Vancouver with a huge desire to learn. Got overwhelmed by the diverse possibilities and available choices. Read almost all course descriptions and made about 100 phone calls. Registered in a course that has been miraculously canceled. Followed my intuition to choose one workshop to attend (Workshops That Work , Lee-Ann Ragan). End of story

    In Rock Paper Scissors website, I found every thing I need to start my journey of self-education. It is as if I came across a treasure of valuable material, all sorted out and organized, ready for me to explore. I started reading Education for Change and before finishing it, I had ordered the Tipping Point & Made to Stick (available at the Public Library). Both amazing resources to read, learn from and discuss with friends and teenage son and daughter.

    Thank you for your generosity and willingness to contribute to my education plan

    Best regards

    Rania Issa
