Joel Singer's many years of teaching art and the creative process to children, young people, and adults has helped my particular style of coaching and given my approach to coaching its creative structure and range. My professional engagement as a teacher, mentor, and coach, encouraging the learning of all ages and developmental stages continues to inspire and convinced me to strive to be a lifelong learner with all its challenges and rewards. Joel Singer still teaches children in education so he empathizes with students and parents, teachers, and administrators as they work to make the most out of education. This understanding of the struggles and pressures to do the very best possible and succeed in a quickly changing world underpins the work I do with schools and colleges.
