‘According to an MIT Sloan Research study, a 12 month soft skills training program in 5 separate factories provided a 250% ROI in just 8 months’

As a learning & development specialist my dedication has been to the growth of people at every corporate level. Over the past two decades, my work has centred on helping individuals discover confidence, capability, and purpose—both in their professional performance and in their contribution to others.
My career began in hospitality management, where I learned the fundamentals of service, teamwork, and resilience. Progressing to director level in my early career provided a solid foundation in business operations and leadership. This experience evolved naturally into my life’s work: empowering others through learning and development.
Through wonderfully diverse responsibilities, I have designed and delivered transformative programs for both public and private sectors—from large-scale employability initiatives to international corporate workshops. My projects have ranged from building and leading multi-site training teams to facilitating soft skills programs for thousands of professionals across more than a dozen countries.
What distinguishes my approach is a belief that leadership is best expressed through encouragement, recognition, and collaboration. I bring an enthusiasm for people and a depth of business experience that enables learning to feel both personal and practical and have had the privilege of being mentored alongside exceptional professionals—HR leaders, CEOs, Lead Trainers, and change specialists—whose insight and partnership have enriched my understanding of how individuals and organisations thrive.
The impact of this work is best measured in transformation: stronger leaders, more cohesive teams, and individuals who rediscover their potential. My purpose remains simple—to create learning experiences that inspire performance, resilience, and authenticity. I welcome opportunities to collaborate with organisations seeking to strengthen their culture and develop talent from within.
