Jean Seville Suffield DNM

Immediate Past President
Senior Faculty WGI, BA., MA., B.Ed.,

I have been in the education field for most of my career, have taught all grade levels, worked in administration as Vice-Principal, Principal, Director of Instructional and Student Services, as Director General and Assistant Director General and on projects for the Ministry of Education. My early experience in business has offered me a global view of systems. As a former President of Directors General in Québec, I have had extensive experience working with several school districts. I have been involved with training in other parts of Canada, the United States, Ireland, Australia, Bogotá – Colombia, Korea, Macedonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, The Kingdom of Bahrain in the Middle East, India, the Philippines, Japan, and mainland China.

I am a Doctor of Natural Medicine, conferred by the International Quantum University for Integrative Medicine October 2, 2013. I hold a BA., MA., B.Ed. from Concordia/Universiité de Montréal. I have completed all course work toward a Ph.D. in English Literature at the Université de Montréal, hold a Certificate in Educational Leadership Practices and Research from McGill University, and a Master Certification Diploma in brain-based learning through the Jensen Learning Corporation I incorporate and teach brain-compatible learning and teaching strategies in my training and presentations. I became interested in Dr. Glasser’s work through my experiences at McGill University with self-initiated projects in leadership with an interest in the Quality School model. I am a ©Brain, Soul, Success Coach through the work of Dr. Louise Swartswalter, developer of B.R.A.I.N.™ system, processes that help individuals break away from old patterns of behaviour to tap into their creative energies to participate in their own healing towards authentic transformational change that lasts.

My instructional approach is highly practical and interactive to help individuals begin to integrate and personalize their learning through a wide variety of involvement activities and discussion sessions. Participants are encouraged to share their ideas during dialogue sessions, all of which are key learning tools to bring everyone to the highest level of knowledge possible. Retirement has not slowed me down. Teaching has always been my first love and it’s wonderful to be able to take hold on one’s own schedule and have fun with it. My belief that the learning process is ongoing is evidenced by my work. I look forward to learning and sharing with others in fun-loving ways.
