Meet David – Your Facilitator

Hi.  I started training over 35 years ago, honing my skills in the IT field. I was always looking for different ways of facilitating beyond just, ‘Press this key, press that key’, and over time developed totally learner centred IT training workshops.  Nearly 25 years ago now, I met Christophe who was training in the hospitality industry – developing the same types of ideas as myself. So we decided to join forces and share what worked well for us with other trainers, which is where we are now – concentrating exclusively on Trainer Development.

I work throughout the English speaking world (Christophe does the same but being French, works mainly in the French speaking world).

Most of my time is filled working in-house developing the skills of in-house training teams. Some of the names I’ve worked with include household names you are sure to know including Coca Cola, Comet, Jewson, Shell, Microsoft, RSPB, Shelter, Natural History Museum, Amnesty International, Ricoh, Standard Life, Compass Group, Burger King, Carlsberg, ABB, UBS, The Royal Courts of Justice, Lloyds Banking Group, Bank of Scotland, Royal Mail, Eversheds and Sutherland …

I’m continually looking for new ideas and techniques to make the learning process easier, more enjoyable and longer lasting for all learners. Techniques on their own are not enough; they must be rigorously checked against latest research from the worlds of education and neuroscience. People say,

“Your exciting and flexible approach to sharing your methods of increasing the value of training is infectious. You cannot help but be inspired.”
