Personality Types, Adapting to Challenges, and Building Resilience Part I

As the city shut-downs and quarantines have been increasing over the past week, I’ve started to ask myself the question: How does our personality type affect our ability to manage our mental health during uncertain and challenging times? It is

What is π?

What is π?

Many educators across the country are teaching their students about π today in celebration of international π day tomorrow. We did too! My goal for this lesson was not only to teach that π = 3.14159265359…, but what exactly is π? BLE has loads of

Testimonials

Brigitte was very approachable yet professional. She has a great balance in her teaching that brings both hard work and “getting down to business” along with engagement and fun. I was kind of dreading this course before it started, but it ended up being extremely valuable and interesting thanks to her instruction. I definitely met my learning goals and feel far more confident in my skills and decisions. Thanks for leading this process!

Thank you for being such an incredible facilitator, teacher, and example for making a difference in this world. You will never know how far the ripples of your mission extend. I am so grateful!
LunaWFR Student
I felt very supported in the learning environment by both the course structure & my instructor. The combination of classroom setting and hands-on learning were very effective. I felt that the timeline and time management of the course were challenging yet conducive to student success.
AmyWFR StudentUniversity of Redlands Outdoor Program
The course pushed me to challenge myself but in a way where I felt comfortable doing so.
VictoriaWFR StudentUniversity of Redlands Outdoor Program
The WFR course is real life, real situational awareness, and skills. It helps you be more aware of your surroundings and increases self awareness and your ability to handle stress under pressure.
ColleenWFR Student; Build On Malawi StaffBuild On
Thank you for an excellent week! You pushed us, but you were supportive and engaging throughout, and you made it fun. You are an excellent instructor and are clearly in a “good fit” field of work. I am so impressed by your abilities to draw students in and to move different-level students up at their own pace!

Thank you so much! I learned and gained a lot from what you taught and how you taught. I was comfortable asking and volunteering. I loved the whole process!
ShaniyaWFA Student; ESCC Crew MemberEastern Sierra Conservation Corps
Brigitte, you are an amazing teacher. If you are talking, I am totally engaged. Being in the outdoor Ed/guiding field, you are a huge role model for me. It was very helpful when you would stay after class and answer extra questions we couldn’t squeeze into the day. Also, your ability to debrief is phenomenal. That’s not always an easy thing to do, but your questions did a great job at opening up an engaging discussion. Not only were your lectures really interesting, but you did a great job at te… Read more
HaleyWFR StudentCamp Manito-Wish YMCA
Over the span of three decades of kicking ass and forgetting names in the wilds of the west I have taken a lot of first aid courses. Advanced 1st aid, Wilderness 1st responder, EMT, Wilderness EMT, and the odd accompanying refresher courses. None were as good as the Wilderness 1st Responder course I took with Brigitte and Dan last week. Brigitte is a dynamo of educational prowess and bonafide mountain star…
