I'm an award-winning provider of training programmes across multiple sectors; gained international interest for my work in developing remote and hybrid approaches to creating and delivering corporate learning programmes; and annually openly report on the impact of my courses to participants' subsequent skills and confidence in their role.

Training programmes are offered to all levels and roles within an organisation - from supplementing the induction of new teams; supporting the transition of people in developing new skills and knowledge as part of restructuring; to whole Boards in ensuring that they remain compliant and culturally focused.

Programmes can also be offered as part of the strategic development of consortia and clusters - several organisations coming together to explore and develop their understanding and application of a shared process or topic, helps to strengthen subsequent collaborative and partnership working between them.

The format of training sessions can also flex widely, according to circumstances and need: I've developed and delivered micro-learning modules via YouTube playlists; to new degree modules, courses, and MOOCs for Universities.

As well as training programmes that can range from a single short informal session, to larger multi-module courses delivered over several months, the following services are also available to supplement and enhance the training offers:

- individual coaching, to best enable individual learners to fully embed, adopt, and utilise their new knowledge and skills;

- mentoring to in-house training managers, to support them in the development of their respective organisations' processes and systems;

- market research and benchmarking, to inform specific content of bespoke programmes.

Training courses can also cover less 'typical' content, and offer specialisms relating to:

* governance

* team development

* organisational values and culture

* collaborative/partnership working

* understanding, managing, and reporting impact and ESG
