Your Instructor
Well known for her practical and applicable approaches with learning, Jennifer Britton is based in the Toronto, Canada. She is the author of Effective Group Coaching (Wiley, 2009) and From One to Many: Best Practices for Team and Group Coaching (Jossey-Bass, 2013). For the last two and a half decades Jennifer has taught, coached, and trained professionals all over the globe. Involved in formal and informal education since the late 1980s, Jennifer has taught tens of thousands of hours at post-secondary institutions, through online programs, workshops, retreats and in classroom based training. She's led Train-the-trainer workshops, and coach-the-coach sessions for more than 15 years.
In 2004 Jennifer founded Potentials Realized, a Canadian-based performance improvement company dedicated to supporting leaders, teams and organizations with leadership, teamwork, and performance issues.
Leadership and teamwork are two topics Jennifer is passionate about. During the first thirteen years of her career Jennifer worked with the United Nations, and other international organizations as a Program Director and Program Manager. By the age of 26 she was leading and directing programs involving hundreds of staff and volunteers, and dozens of communities, demonstrating the real power of collaboration and teamwork. This focus on exceptional team leadership, collaboration and capacity building continues today in her training, educational programs, coaching and consulting work.
Her work today is varied including coaching teams, as well as working with new and experienced leaders including virtual team leaders. Jenn also works with solopreneurs, particularly those in the coaching and training industries, who want to create exceptional programs for their own clients. Building onto several years of teaching business studies as the post-secondary level, her work with business owners is grounded in support of creating a powerful vision, honing their leadership foundations, and creating a business that works for their needs and lifestyle.
An avid writer, Jenn leads the Teams365 blog for team leaders, and the Group Coaching Ins and Outs blog for coaches.
This portal, the Learning Lab and Design STudio, houses the many video based programs Jennifer has developed since 2014, as well as our 2016 long-term live community group at the Learning Lab and Design Studio which meets on Fridays. An avid practitioner herself, Jenn continues to deliver in person and virtual programs for leaders and their teams, as well as for service based professionals (coaches, consultants and trainers). Jennifer also offers International Coach Federation approved Continuing Coach Education programs through Potentials Realized - The Group Coaching Essentials(TM) Teleseminar (8.75 CCEs), and the Advanced Group and Team Coaching Practicum (10 CCEs).

Frequently Asked Questions
The Learning Lab and Design Studio (LLDS) is hosted by Jennifer Britton, Author of Effective Group Coaching and From One To Many: Best Practices for Team and Group Coaching. Join us for six or twelve months! This program includes live individual and group coaching calls on a monthly basis with others in the Studio Lab. Join us monthly at the lab or for a six or 12 month commitment. The LLDS is a place to LEARN, Connect with others, take ACTION on your own program ideas and have accountability to make it happen.
Each month you access 2 group calls a month focusing on team and group themes, along with a 3rd monthly call focusing on engaging with some of the Facilitation tools you might want to bring into your work.
You also get a monthly 20 min 1-1 with Jennifer, and access to wide range of templates, articles, and more than 20 hours of audios in the lab.
Each bi-weekly call will have a focus on a topic related to a core theme related to group and/or team programs (workshops, retreats, coaching). The calls are designed to provide you with content and tips for your own programming, as well as answer specific questions you bring. Some examples include Advanced Design Techniques, Engagement, Virtual programs. Once a month Jennifer will host a "Coach on Call" call where you can bring your real time questions. Check out the Bi-Weekly Call Schedule in the First Section of the Curicullum. LLDS members help to shape these calls.
If you can't make the group call time (usually Fridays 8-850 am Eastern/New York or 12 - 12:50 pm ET) you can still listen into recorded calls. I will also be experimenting with some additional group calls at other times of the week and days throughout the year. You will be able to download the next six months of calls in the curicullum area (You'll find it in the First Section - Welcome to the Learning Lab and Design Studio).
