Enagagement workshop participants in UK

I create workshops and training programs that engage and delight participants — and that they remember.

Experience that shows. Learning that sticks.

Interactive

Every group is different, and great workshops need to adjust to the priorities of the room. This really gets folks motivated to learn new things.

Engaging

Adults are self-directed and want to be involved in their own learning. A positive session focuses on active participation, and leaves a lasting impression.

Professional

Over 20 years of corporate, public-sector and non-profit experience, plus adult-instructor certification, means a breadth and depth of expertise.

Why work with me

With extensive experience in communications and marketing, management and team leadership, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the classroom. And I can translate my expertise into education and training programs that deliver results.

I work with you to create a tailored experience for your group or clients, and keep you involved all along the way. No surprises.

I’m proud of what I do, and love to hear that sessions I’ve designed have made a real impact with participants. I’ll be pleased to bring my practical and engaged approach to your organization. Contact me, and let's discuss your ideas!
