My approach
I am passionate about lifelong learning, having witnessed development transforming professional and personal lives
I have a track record of designing, delivering and evaluating bespoke and blended interventions, fully aligned with the broader organisational business strategy, for large and small groups and supporting staff through change.
I have a reputation for being approachable, but also challenging in a constructive way, highly skilled at seeing the big, strategic picture and what might be holding you or your business back.
Blended learning - it's not just about courses!
Blended learning - blending face to face/online courses with informal learning solutions such as webinars, business simulations, coaching, mentoring, diagnostics, networks and action learning is more likely to lead to the learning being retained.
Innovative and real - I can provide workshops with actor-facilitators e.g. leadership, communication skills, managing conflict, diversity, negotiation, sales, customer care, challenging conversations. Don't worry it's not the dreaded role play but 'forum theatre'!
Networks - can be a powerful source of personal development. I have successfully launched a number of professional forums e.g. leadership forum and others to support diversity targets.
I specialise in creating learning and development strategies,training needs analysis, systems and policies e.g. mentoring, job shadowing, appraisal.

Format is up to you - it could be bite-size courses, longer programmes split into manageable modules, blended. The ‘flavour’ will be tailored to suit your context and culture, so could be practical, using real work scenarios and/or explore new approaches and possibilities.

Change, large or small, is a constant in most companies, driven by customers, markets, government policy and technology.

I design courses not only for leaders but for all staff experiencing change in their working or personal lives. Every context is different, so I tailor the training to the company or individual's context.
