Training and mentoring
Taking what you think might be possible and working with you to make it happen.
I love learning. But did you know that we all learn differently? So if you’ve felt in the past that you’ve struggled in a classroom, it may well have been that sitting still and listening for an hour is just not the way you learn best.
Whilst I’d never claim to match how everyone learns in a one day training session, I hope that over the years I’ve learnt to create an environment that’s participatory and mixes things up, making training as interesting and energising as possible. For participants to leave feeling excited and empowered.

Past experience
I’ve been teaching and training people since 1998 and qualified as TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) teacher back in 2000. Whilst at the New Statesman magazine I ran the online journalism internship programme for four years, where the aim was not to just help interns learn to make a cup of tea but to get them up to speed with online journalism and research skills.
From 2007-2008 I worked as a visiting lecturer in online journalism at Westminster University and since 2009 I’ve been a visiting digital communications teacher at Ravensbourne College of Communication & Design and Westminster Kingsway College London.
Working closely with director of digital, Mark Fallows, and head of training, Gwyn March, I executed an agency-wide training and mentoring programme in digital communications for McCann Ericsson London during 2007 and 2008.
Since 2009 I’ve been working closely with Emarketeers to create some of their social media courses and training as well as a number of other specialist training agencies and working with my own clients directly.
Previous clients include:
Ark, British Council, Creative Industries KTN, Foreign Press Association, Harvey Leech, High Spirits, McCann Ericsson, New Media Age, Technology Strategy Board, We Are Social.
