As an author and consultant with experience at all levels of education, she provides consultancy in curriculum design, concept-based teaching, school transition for enhanced thinking and pedagogical leadership. She is a senior trainer for the Feuerstein Institute, the International Centre for Enhanced Cognitive Potential (ICELP). She has done advanced study tours to Reggio Emilia in northern Italy to study the globally renowned early learning philosophy which originated there.

Lili-Ann is an engaging speaker. In her presentations, whether to small workshop groups or auditoriums, her knowledge is peppered with stories and practical examples. She tailors presentations to the specific interests and needs of her audience.
