As an educator, her goal is to help participants see a subject from a new perspective, to engage them in respectful, honest, and productive conversation, and to leave them with a sense of connectedness and new understanding.  Using personal experiences, observations, and the wisdom of those who know more than she does (as well as a bit of humor), Bettina’s superpower is creating a comfortable environment where people feel safe enough to share and engage.
