Kaleidoscope Affect, LLC is expanding our bench of experienced leadership development trainers and facilitators to support current and anticipated client engagements across the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
We are looking for accomplished facilitators who know how to work with experienced adult professionals—not simply present slides. Our facilitators create engaging learning environments, draw on participants' experience, guide difficult discussions, use realistic scenarios and practice, and help learners translate concepts into workplace behavior.
Assignments may support Federal, Department of Defense, state and local government, public-sector, and other complex organizations. Engagements are scheduled based on client demand and may include full-day and multi-day onsite programs as well as virtual delivery.
This is a part-time, variable-hour/project-based opportunity. Hours are scheduled in advance based on client engagements; there is no guaranteed weekly schedule or minimum number of hours.
