Old Amersham
UK’s leading trainer in modern learning methods. I am an independent learning
consultant. My expertise is in the design and delivery of learning and
development experiences for high-performing individuals, teams and
organisations. Popularity, Purpose, Preparation. I have been described as the
‘UK’s leading trainer in modern learning methods.’ I’ve delivered well over
1,800 training and development events in a twenty-five-year career. I would
place myself amongst the more experienced developers in the UK. Any popularity I
may have earned has been as a consequence of lots and lots of preparation and
treating each piece of work as unique. I’ve never done the same presentation
twice. Now I’ve adapted as more and more of my deliveries are on-line. I’ve
delivered to large audiences – 3,000 medics from around the world in the
Congress Hall in Prague – and small. I became good at speaking to groups when,
as a young man, I had to take museum tours for visitors day after day. Many had
come just to get out of the rain. I had to understand their motivation in order
to connect with them. Presenting I became very skilled at presenting. Along the
way I built successes in facilitating groups and helping manage the learning
process. I enjoy taking a project through to a conclusion. I’m very thorough and
always practical. I bring an understanding of the ‘science’ of learning to the
‘art’ of teaching. I take pride in modelling the methods I promote. I do
presentations to different audiences and on different topics. Here’s one I did
for the Do Lectures in a steamy tent in West Wales!
