I’ve always believed that the most powerful learning doesn’t happen in a classroom - it happens in the moments where people connect, share, and grow together. My approach is grounded in both practice and rigour. I bring a mix of academic breadth that includes an MBA, an MSc in Strategic Learning, a Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing, and a Postgraduate coaching qualification. In addition, I’ve been recognised with awards for designing senior leadership programmes and consultancy projects that deliver real, lasting results. As a Facilitator, Story-Teller, Coach, Guide, and Catalyst, I help create those moments.

Every engagement is designed around the people, context, and challenges in front of us — because the most effective solutions are the ones that feel human. My work is about weaving stories that inspire, discovering and asking questions that unlock potential, and guiding people as they navigate their own journeys of growth.

I don’t just design learning programmes — I create experiences that bring meaning to work. Experiences that spark curiosity, strengthen relationships, and invite people to see themselves — and each other — in new ways. Whether I’m working one-to-one with a leader, with a team finding its rhythm, or with a senior HRD rethinking strategy, my approach is always the same: keep it human, keep it simple, keep it effective. And I bring the experience and credibility to stand alongside leaders and teams to ensure the learning truly lands.

At the core, I believe learning is a deeply human act. My role is simply to make space for it to flourish.

Who are HUMAN learning at work

In today’s fast-moving world, learning can’t be passive. It must be felt, shared, and lived. That’s why Human Learning at Work was formed — built on the belief that real learning happens in connection, not in content. We blend neuroscience with the realities of modern work to create experiences that don’t just inform — they transform. The result? Leaders who grow, teams who connect, and organisations that move forward with confidence.

We believe knowledge alone isn’t enough. Real change happens when leaders and teams move from knowing to doing, from insight to impact. That’s where we come in — translating learning into simple, sticky, and social experiences. Because when people feel connected, curious, and confident, they don’t just learn — they lead, they grow, they transform. We understand leaders don’t need to have all the answers. The most powerful leaders are learners — curious, open, and willing to explore.

We create spaces where they can reflect, experiment, and model that same curiosity for their teams. Because learning doesn’t just happen in classrooms — it happens in the flow of work. In a quick conversation. A moment of feedback. A new habit tested in real time. We design learning that lives in those moments — where real growth happens.

We’re not here to deliver content. We’re here to be a mirror and a guide. Leaders are already asking the hard questions: “How do I lead with clarity?” “How do I navigate change with courage?” “How do I create purpose that’s felt, not just spoken?” Our role is to help them find answers — through experiences that shift behaviour, spark reflection, and build capability.

Human Learning at Work exists to unlock potential — not just through knowledge, but through action. We help organisations build cultures where learning is alive, leaders are learning, and teams are learning together. Because when learning is human, work becomes better. This belief isn’t abstract — it’s shaped by two decades of hands-on leadership and award-winning design across industries and backed by advanced study into how humans learn and change.
