Larger group training, facilitation, and academic development services
I have a diverse background as a creative facilitator and developer for both staff and students. I've worked in various sectors including private, public, and higher education. My focus has been on personal, professional, academic, and motivational development and training.
Recently, I was recognized as a Principal Fellow of Advance HE, which has further strengthened my expertise. I'm passionate about embracing different viewpoints and leading innovative thinking. My goal is to help individuals and teams gain insights, improve their culture, and develop behaviours for personal or institutional growth and resilience.
I have a proven track record of fostering collaboration within teams, generating fresh ideas, and promoting strategic values. I tailor sessions by keeping up with the latest trends in the sector to ensure content excellence. My approach builds trust, motivation and rapport with audiences, delivering unique insights.
I'm skilled at creating and delivering customized content and curriculums, as well as implementing existing teaching and development programs. I adapt well to diverse client and audience needs and perspectives.
In various roles across different sectors, I've focused on:
- Personal development, motivation, resilience, and well-being
- Mentoring
- Compassionate teaching methods
- Equity, diversity, and inclusion-decolonising and queering the curriculum and professional services
- Education for sustainability
- Student retention and success
- Handling complaints effectively
- Leadership and change management- Third Space Leadership
- Advanced learning and teaching methods and assessment practices
- Attaining fellowship with Advance HE
My delivery style is genuine, inclusive, and encourages exploration of self, team, and ideas to foster new perspectives.
