Whether it is a conference, workshop presentation, keynote address or organization training, Simone designs the program based on the needs of the participants. A combination of lecture, participant dialogue, and small group activities encourages questions and in-depth exploration of issues. Participants leave inspired, with specific, manageable strategies to use when they return to their own organizations.
Joyaux develops these programs for general audiences and beginners. She also develops specialized sessions for advanced executives.
Simone is a faculty member for the Masters Program in Philanthropy and Fund Development at St. Mary's University of Minnesota. Her current teaching assignment is Volunteerism and Boards.
In addition to workshops and conference presentations, Joyaux develops comprehensive, integrated curricula for organizations. For example, Joyaux created a 4-part, comprehensive curriculum in fund development for the Alliance for Children & Families. Then Simone conducted a session to train the trainers for the curriculum. She has also created governance and fund development curricula for various community foundations.
During consultancies, Joyaux Associates develops and conducts training for staff, board and committees. Also the firm provides tutorials, coaching and mentoring for staff.
