My teaching style

I’m a caring and thoughtful trainer/facilitator. I love to get results for students by supporting and entrusting in them their own learning experiences. I really get a buzz when they ‘get it’ and it’s a thrill to see them rapidly improve – particularly in the public speaking classes. I work with 4MAT as a training and development tool. It certainly is a whole lot better than ‘show and tell’ lecturing.
I reckon that it’s important to have fun in any class.

Something that people might not know about me

I became a grandparent of a livewire pair of twins in Tokyo in February 2006 and again in August 2006 to a lovely daughter to my daughter in Sydney! Yay!
