About Me
I partner with scale-ups to develop new managers and emerging talent, so their teams can navigate growth and change while performing together in a sustainable and healthy way.
With over 25 years of experience in Learning & Development, I’ve built and led high-performing training teams, designed learning experiences for managers, sales, and service teams, and delivered large-scale cultural change programs. My work is all about making connections between people, their teams, and the wider business objectives.
Over the past year, my focus has shifted to coaching and mentoring professionals who are navigating anxiety, burnout, or that sense that “something just isn’t right.” I’m increasingly concerned by the rise in capable, high-performing individuals who are burning out or experiencing high levels of anxiety. Training on well-being and resilience can help teams to be happier and healthier.
My Mission
My mission is to provide managers with tools to create a work environment where employees flourish.
My Personal Journey
FROM Careers Advisor TO Freelance L&D Consultant, Trainer and Coach
And not forgetting the years managing L&D functions in fast growing businesses.
My 3 strengths are:
1. Adaptability - and yes, I have explored and experimented with blended learning, managed LXP or LMS roll outs, delivered training and workshops on sales, service, change and leadership, rolled out mentorship programmes and tried to measure impact. I love to innovate and bring new ways of learning so that participants have a learning experience that sticks.
The result? Learning experience design that goes beyond classroom training
2. People First - I have (roughly) calculated that I have given over 1K individual careers interviews, onboarded over 2K new hires, coached and mentored over 100 new managers and delivered 100's of workshops in international workplaces.
The result? I connect with people from all corners of the world
3. I would like to say my sense of humour but some people will not agree! Learning is difficult, its not always fun but it is rewarding when done well and we should be able to learn and fail and have fun. Learning is about connecting the dots and having fun is often the best way to do this.
The result? Learning experiences that stick!
Values:
Fairness, Honesty, and Curiosity
I’m often described as engaging, knowledgable & professional. What matters most to me is creating a space where people feel safe to connect, share, reflect, and be vulnerable whilst being open and willing to start-stop or continue whatever serves them best.
As a facilitator, I bring energy, empathy, and just the right amount of challenge. I’m often humbled by the depth of insight and the genuine takeaways people leave with.
My mantra?
"What you put in is what you get out."
Let's connect!
