Ron's workshop on Games to Explain Human Factors is full of interactive demonstrations. The audience is engaged and entertained while learning about findings in psychology and human factors. Games is always well attended and enjoyed by all.

Cathleen Greenan, Professor, Dutchess Community College | Eastern Psychological Association

Your piece at the conference was really fun, engaging and full of information. I'm always looking for ways to make learning fun for my students and you certainly nailed it!

Emily Baxter, Science Teacher | Connecticut’s Science Education Conference

I learned a lot not only from the games you played but also from the way you carried them out. You had tricks for us to watch (blindfolded volunteers) and tricks for the whole class to participate in (such as the misspelt poem). Each trick was sequenced to take us farther and get us to think in a different manner. I was captivate wondering what would happen next and constantly wondering how I would do if it was me behind the blindfold. It was an excellent experience to feel the games from the audience perspective so when I do several of these exercises with my class I can anticipate what they feel. THANK YOU!

Games To Explain Human Factors: Come, Participate, Learn & Have Fun!!!

Learn about human capabilities and limitations to design and improve the safety, efficiency, enjoyability and profitability of products and processes. The program is highly interactive and FUN!!! Audience members will all participate in lots of activities... some will be lucky enough to be selected to come up on stage (smile). There is also an opportunity to win nice prizes.

Career Options With A Psychology Degree

A program designed just for psychology majors and potential psychology majors to help them put their academic program into perspective so that they will be prepared for the job market upon graduation. The program is informative and fun. The content is extremely valuable. Every psychology major and potential psychology major who does not plan on a PhD in clinical or counseling psychology should attend. Useful for potential clinical and counseling PhD's also.

Activities To Facilitate Career Planning and Gaining Meaningful Employment

Just as the title suggests, this program is designed to help people to be better prepared for the job market or to be better prepared to advance in their career at their company. The advice given is practical, the learning is extremely valuable, the program is fun. Lots of activities, prizes, fun... but more important... people will leave with a better focus on their career preparation and an outline of a resume that will ROAR (Results Oriented And Relevant).

I'm Awesome, But I Have My Limitations

A great program for people moving to a new situation such as high school or a new job. The program shows participants that they are awesome, very capable, but on the other hand they have some limitations (like everyone else does). It helps people develop strategies to deal with these limitations. The program has a serious message, but is also a ton of fun!!!

Effective Leadership Involves Working Through Others

A great program to help the new leader or potential leader prepare for their new role as a leader rather than an individual contributor. Engaging and fun!!!
