Years of adult education and training experience in the areas of Sales, Business, Productivity, Personal Development and General Insurance.

My experience is both from books and hands on. In 1993, I became a journeyman boilermaker. After that I went to college and completed my adult education and vocational instructor programs. Since 2000, I have created and taught several business and trade related courses. The government has taught me how to complete one on one evaluations and my experience allows me to prepare and teach the required material. In 2006, I completed the BLUE seal in Alberta which qualifies me for trade management. My years of teaching have shown me a weakness in the college teaching system with First nations people. To fill the void I created 6 courses which include 4 trade related and 2 professional courses. The trade related courses start at the pre-trade level and end with a construction supervisor program. The professional courses include a vocational instructor and entrepreneurship program. It’s my goal to be able to equip people no matter where they are in life.

I am fluent in both written and spoken French. Having graduated high school completely bilingual and pursued a minor in French throughout university.

Here�s a good question: �Just WHO am I, Garry Worger, and WHY can I assist an organization with �change� initiatives, and HOW do I go about it, and am I any good?� [Maybe that is four questions?]

WHO SUMMARY
I was an educator for 40+ years, working with public education, grades 5 � 12, and with a technical college. There I was an instructor (math, computer programming, MS-OFFICE), training consultant, program-developer, change-agent, project manager, and researcher with Colleges, Government Agencies, Private Industry� collaborating with local, Canadian & foreign clients.
So my �who� is this: extensive training/development/assessment experience working with all types of clients, in a variety of fields, across cultures.

WHY SUMMARY
I strive to solve my clients� problems, using a GET-GIVE-MERGE-GO (GGMG) model. This means I spend extensive front-end time assessing the
needs/problems/issues/context/key-players of an organization.
Then I map out a �solution� based on my understanding & expertise.
Next my clients and I negotiate how my approach will be applied to their situation, followed by the development of an elaborate and detailed management plan. That plan becomes the roadmap and assessment design for a project.
So my �why� is this: I explore where you are; we agree on our mutual understandings; we develop strategies and tactics to solve your problems.

HOW SUMMARY
I alluded to my �how� in the why summary� but here are some more details.
I use potent models to direct my efforts, based on the research & teachings of Robert Carkhuff� to my mind� one of the seminal thinkers of the 20th century.
His (and my) strategic approach is EXPLORE-UNDERSTAND-ACT. This, you will likely realize, is the over-riding model for the GGMG process I use with clientele organizations.
I utilize several tactical models.
The first is PLAN-IMPLEMENT-MONITOR-ASSESS-RECYCLE (PIMAR)� the basis for my Project Management approach. The guts of this is the Plan, and I am insistent on spending a high {17ed4b947b5ecd6da9d3a7b807fdef29c56bf028a610db6111fa8d721e8c087a}age of time getting this right�
-right for the client (outcomes which is tactic #2, below)�
-right for the target personnel involved (which is tactic #3, below)
-right process & procedures & assessment�
-right for me as a Project Manager (managing, monitoring, assessing and recycling)�
The second tactical model focuses on client outcomes: quantitative measures, qualitative measures, safety measures, environmental measures, supervision measures, key indicators, assessment methods, reporting.
The third tactical model identifies the target personnel involved in the project and their level of involvement (resource, approvers, implementers, receivers, allocators).
In summary, my How is the use of powerful models, customized to the unique context and culture of client organizations.
