Varoius Fields, Assignments and Tailormade Offers
Tailor-made innovation, advice, coaching and training
The last 25 years I was able to contribute in many countries in developing more attention to the role, position, perspective and learning styles of young men.
Areas cover education, traffic safety, youth services, the police and the law, health, research and youth policy.
This may look very broad - and in a way it is - but in each case the centre is ‘the possibilities of reaching young men and working with them’. As boys are not alone, and gender differences are not clear-cut, I pay comparatively also attention to the perspectives and interests of girls and young women.
In the sub pages (left column) you can get an idea of my portfolio in various fields.
On demand I can offer various contributions on conferences, training, development of new policies.In trying to find solutions that suit your situation, I can offer my expertise varying from offering advice and training for everyday practice through to policy and research:
· Analysing problematic situations
· Training, where possible coaching of professionals and volunteers
· Adapting existing programmes and developing new ones
· Assistance in organising conferences
· Giving lectures and workshops
· Helping to brainstorm and develop a vision
· Policy recommendations and innovation
· Research and devising research, brainstorm on research plans.
Because of the distances and costs involved when travelling abroad, I have presented in this website the core of my thoughts and work.
If you'd like me to come over and elaborate my work in a specific field on a conference, policy advice or training, we can find out what I can offer by telephone, via Skype (lauk.woltring.innovation.advice) or what you like. Please send me a message about what you expect so our conversation has more focus.
My fees are moderate; just enough to have a decent living and being able to do research and develop & spread this work. Because I am not partner in a bigger organization that can pay for my trips and conferences, stay and travel costs have to be included (tourist class and fair hotels).
More information
There are no standard recipes for a more effective communication with boys and finer tuning of education, youth care or all kinds of youth policies. Sometimes it only requires paying more specific attention to boys’ needs within existing policies or programmes, sometimes it is necessary to develop more specific programmes or methods. Looking at an organisation from another perspective however can lead to a total transformation taking place with real improvements in quality.
Where considerable energy is lost in imposing limitations on boys and disciplining them, another reaction to their behaviour can transform that what was first a problem into a source of strength and even inspiration.
Further information can be sent on request (publications, examples of assignments in specific sectors, and if desired, a more extensive CV and references). After consultation, I will make an offer based on your particular needs.
I am not looking for extensive business growth, but wish to concentrate on those tasks in which my qualities serve useful purposes. Sometimes my contribution is individual, but I also work together with others, sometimes with larger organisations who have more possibilities for implementation at their disposal. I always tune in on the already existing qualities and experiences in organisations.
