"Performance and Education are the two pillars that support my life.

​

For me, theatre, music, poetry have always run alongside science, teaching and learning - it's all part of the same quest, really: to understand - and help others to understand - the unique and extraordinary privilege it is to be human... in all our wonder and ridiculousness. 

​

I'm fascinated by how we work together to achieve great things.

​​

How do we learn?

What are we trying to achieve? and,

Are we going about things in the best way?

​

These three questions so persistently resurface, they shape what I do and who I am. Consider them, grapple with the implications, and we start to open up a future of dazzling possibilities.​

 

As a learning specialist with a background in performance, I’ve learned this:

​

Create an experience of active discovery, and it'll resonate the heart.

​

And if we want to change life for the better, we learn to first understand ourselves, and then  inspire, entertain and empower others. 

​

I've been lucky enough to thoroughly test how to best do this in the classroom, and - when I moved into Learning and Development - in the training room and in the boardroom.  (Sometimes, we need to get away from the room entirely.) 

​

And so now, with Culture of Learning, I help organisations (particularly charities) reach their best by training managers, their teams and leaders.

​

I certainly have my work cut out...

...and love every minute of it.

​

Now tell me about you."
