Public Speaking & Training

Dear Event Planner:

At A Mind For All Seasons®, we believe lifelong learning is the key to unlocking solutions to some of life’s most vexing problems. The more completely we understand people and situations, the greater our capacity is to serve them. We offer a variety of engaging and innovative presentations that are designed to help both professionals and family caregivers see the world and those they serve in new ways.

All programs are presented by Eric Collett, Principal and CEO of A Mind For All Seasons, LLC.
Eric is a licensed assisted living administrator who has been working with seniors living with dementia and their families since 2000. A passionate educator, Eric spends his days as a consultant to hospitals, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, home health, hospice and PCS agencies and families caring for persons living with dementia. Eric also teaches at Boise State University and the College of Western Idaho. Eric graduated summa cum laude from the University of Utah with a degree in interpersonal communication, a minor in psychology and extensive music training. His passion for learning and unique background allow Eric to reach audiences in powerful ways that help them think differently.

As one attendee put it,

Just finished 2 AMAZING days filled with information at the Missouri Health Care Association conference with Eric Collett. More people need to be listening. I would recommend A Mind For All Seasons, and I look forward to implementing his teaching and teaching others to do the same. Outstanding. Thank you, Eric, for your amazing vision.
