Hello! Welcome to my site

For me, “there has never been a more exciting time to be in teaching and training”. If you are involved in teaching, training and developing people, no matter what your focus is, you are part of the major shift that is fundamentally changing how people learn and develop. Together, the global L&D community is exploring theories, experimenting, sharing and working out what works and what doesn’t for different types of people and situations, harnessing technology like never before. I’ve been lucky enough to be right at the centre of many new developments, technologies and techniques, living and loving the profession I am in and the job I do.

I’ve created this site to try and draw together my take on what’s happening, what’s good, and what I’m finding useful at the moment. I’ve been in L&D since 1984, creating, learning, experimenting and helping people from all walks of life capture the joy and satisfaction that comes from learning as well as helping businesses realise the benefit of embedding learning in their culture to increase not only performance, but job satisfaction, creativity and innovation. To quote Charles Leadbeater: "in the 20th century you were what you owned; in the 21st century you are what you share".

So here I am sharing, because sharing, collaborating and contributing is the way forward learning in the 21st Century – it’s real, its here and its now!
