Pete O’Farrell - Content Lead
Pete O’Farrell combines his skills as a middle school teacher with his unique experience in nonprofits and government to help you design and deliver engaging trainings and presentations. After 15+ years working in international development in places such as Madagascar, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Jordan, he realized his favorite part of that career was teaching and mentoring others. As he made the career shift to becoming a classroom teacher, he realized what works for teaching 13 year olds, works for adults as well. He remembered the long, monotonous trainings and thought his new skill could help those in the business, nonprofit, and foundation communities not just deliver trainings but ensure that your audience learns.
