SHIFT HOW YOU SEE.
Change whose stories get told.
A mini-course for people who facilitate, teach, lead, or create and who are willing to slow down rather than steer.
Every day, you make decisions about how people are seen.
In meetings, you decide whose voice leads. In classrooms, you decide which stories get space. In your feeds, you decide what moments define others.
These aren't just choices, they're narratives.
And like the 14 billion images shared daily, they shape how people are understood*.
This course is about learning to make those choices differently. Not by adding techniques, but by changing how you pay attention.
You've done the training. Read the books. And still...
✔ Maybe you catch yourself making assumptions about people before they've finished speaking.
✔ Or you leave meetings wondering whose voice didn't get heard.
✔ You've sat through DEI workshops that felt like checkboxes, inspiring in the moment, forgotten by Monday.
✔ You've tried to "be more inclusive" without a framework for what that actually looks like in practice.
✔ And you're tired of the same patterns showing up, such as, the voice that always dominates the meeting or the student whose potential you only see in hindsight.
The problem isn't knowledge. It's practice.
Knowing that perspective matters doesn't change how you listen. Understanding bias doesn't interrupt it in real time. What's missing isn't more information. It's a way of being that you can return to, again and again.
What if the work isn't about learning more,
but paying attention differently?
Most approaches to "inclusive leadership" or "better listening" give you theory. Concepts. Frameworks to memorize.
But here's what I learned collaborating alongside youth in Northern Ontario, photographing families navigating medical trauma, and facilitating in classrooms where I had to unlearn everything I thought I knew:
You can't think your way into seeing people differently. You have to practice it.
It's not about having the right answers, knowing more or adding techniques.
It’s about asking different questions, about noticing what you usually rush past and changing the conditions of how you pay attention.
That's the shift this course offers.
WHO’S JEN?
I’m a speaker, photographer and educator, exploring what happens when we slow down enough to actually see each other. I’m TIDES-certified trauma-informed, a TEDx speaker, SXSW EDU presenter, and co-creator of Debwewin: Threads of Truth, a photography project built with youth in Northern Ontario.
What becomes possible
After this course, you'll:
Pause before you decide and know what questions to ask before you post, share, or speak for someone else
Catch yourself mid-assumption and have a way to shift instead of just feeling guilty
Create space for complexity instead of rushing to resolution or forcing clarity before people are ready
Recognize when you're telling someone else's story for them and know how to step back
Have language for what you've always sensed but couldn't articulate so you can practice it, not just feel it
This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about becoming more intentional about who you already are.
When we shift how we listen, we change whose stories get told, and whose get ignored.
Teams make better decisions when more perspectives are in the room. Classrooms become safer when students feel seen on their own terms. Conversations move from conflict to understanding when we stop assuming and start asking.
This isn't just personal growth. It's how systems change, one interaction at a time.
The Course
From Point of View to Field of View is a self-paced mini-course designed for busy people who want depth without overwhelm.
What’s included:
Module 1
Presence & Attention
Why slowing down builds trust and the difference between "looking at" someone and "being with" them.
Module 2
Listening to Co-Create
How to ask questions that open up possibilities, instead of confirming what you already think.
Module 3
Understanding Across Difference
Using anchors to hold complexity without requiring people to explain themselves.
Module 4
Refusing the Single Story
Bringing it all together and how to carry it forward.
Plus:
A downloadable workbook with guided exercises you'll return to again and again
Access to a community for questions and reflection
Time commitment: About 40 minutes of video + journaling and reflection at your own pace.
What makes this different:
This isn't theory. It's built from real collaborative work, years of photography, facilitation, and learning alongside people whose stories weren't mine to tell.
It treats listening as a practice, not a personality trait. Something you build, not something you either have or don't.
And the workbook isn't homework. It's a tool designed to meet you where you are, in your next meeting, your next classroom, your next difficult conversation.
This is for you if:
This might include:
Educators and facilitators
Team leads and managers
Coaches and consultants
Event planners and community organizers
Parents navigating hard conversations
Anyone who makes decisions about how others are seen
You facilitate, teach, lead, parent, or create and you're willing to slow down rather than steer
You've caught yourself making assumptions about people and want to interrupt that pattern
You believe whose stories get told matters and you want to do something about it
You're looking for a practice, not a quick fix
You're willing to sit with discomfort long enough to learn from it
This is not for you if:
You want a checklist to follow
You're looking for tips to "fix" other people
You need immediate, measurable ROI to justify learning
You're not willing to sit with discomfort
You want someone to tell you exactly what to say in every situation
No judgment. This just isn't that kind of course.
Meet Jen
I'm Jen, a speaker, photographer and educator exploring what happens when we slow down enough to actually see each other.
I'm a TIDES-certified trauma-informed facilitator, TEDx speaker, and SXSW EDU presenter. I teach photography at Humber Polytechnic, and I co-created Debwewin: Threads of Truth, a long-term collaborative storytelling project with youth in Northern Ontario.
I also lead the Toronto Chapter of Mic Drop Club, a women's public speaking community, because I know what it's like to wonder if you're "ready enough" to share what you know.
This course comes from all of that work and from years of learning that how we listen matters as much as what we hear.
I learned to photograph by directing. I learned to facilitate by listening. And the distance between those two taught me everything in this course.
What People Are Saying
This course was truly eye-opening. It wasn’t just informative, it was incredibly practical. The workbook and extra resources gave me so much depth to explore and provided tools I could start using right away. As a leader, it taught me to look beyond what’s right in front of me and dig deeper to get the full story. By staying curious, asking more questions, and seeing past the surface, I can serve my team better and guide them more effectively. Once you take this course, you’ll never see things the same way. Absolutely worth it!

The Investment
$197 CAD (+ applicable taxes)
The average cost of replacing an employee is 50–200% of their annual salary. But people don't just leave because of pay, they leave because they don't feel heard.
Employees who feel heard are 4.6x more likely to feel empowered to do their best work. Teams with high psychological safety are 76% more engaged.
And it starts with how we listen.
This course won't fix your team overnight. But it will give you a framework to shift how you show up, in every meeting, classroom, and conversation where how you listen shapes how people feel.
Self-paced. Lifetime access. Start whenever you're ready.
-
The videos are about 40 minutes total. You can move through it in a single afternoon or spread it across a week. The workbook is designed for ongoing reflection, not a one-time assignment you have to "complete."
-
You might. But knowing and practicing are different. This course gives you a framework to make what you sense into something repeatable. If you've read the books but still find yourself rushing past people, this is the bridge.
-
If you work with people, in classrooms, meetings, creative projects, or difficult conversations, this applies. The principles are universal; the practice is yours to shape.
-
It's self-paced and always available. But more importantly: the workbook is designed to meet you where you are. Even one module can shift how you show up.
