Megan ColeBoth as a public speaker and as a workshop presenter, Megan’s approach is to combine didactic content with performance illustration, in the belief is that the best learning occurs in the presence of engaged reason, of a balance between knowledge and intuition. All of Megan’s work, whether acting, teaching, or speaking, is based on this premise.

Here is a detailed list of previous lecture and workshop venues.

“Megan’s course on communication skills and empathy was a smash hit.  Her intelligence, charm and humor endeared her to the students.  Her use of literary sources (poetry, drama, fiction) enriched her offering substantially."   Samuel Karff, Ph.D.

and the Human Spirit

“Thanks, Megan, for the work you are doing at UT-H.  Being able to make human connections and to mediate between two sometimes very different perspectives is one of the critical tasks of medicine, and I applaud your approach in this regard.”
