I am passionate about learning and development at all levels: individual, team and organisation. I believe that an ever-present, on-going commitment to people development is an integral part of being an empowered and successful creative business.
My approach is facilitative and collaborative, which involves me working together with my clients throughout the process: consultation, design, delivery and review. I like to connect and understand the people I work with when undertaking a piece of work. Understanding both the culture of an organization and the needs of its people are vital when finding viable, effective solutions to any challenge they may encounter. It is this approach, I believe, that is the most powerful way of changing both thinking and action positively, with a greater understanding and commitment by all.
However, we need to have some fun along the way. I try and make group sessions a fun experience and as dynamic possible. Being playful and childlike (not childish!) stimulates the creative process. When people feel at ease with each other and the environment they generally surprise themselves and their colleagues with the input they contribute. Working with individuals in coaching sessions requires a challenging and nurturing approach. I am qualified trainer, facilitator and coach as well as a Myers Briggs practitioner, and I put as much effort into my own personal learning and development as I do with my clients.
I gain my own sense of achievement by helping others to realise their potential.
I have now been working in the Learning and Development field for 10 years, so there is too much information and background to place here. If you would like to read further and in more depth, take a look at my CV & Biogs below or give me a call.
