I am a management trainer specializing in delivering "in-company training" in management and supervisory skills. I also assess candidates against unit standards on the NZQA framework.
Whilst my employer is Otago Polytechnic, my clients are drawn from the following industries especially: Food ( meat and dairy), Engineering, Transport, Construction and Manufacturing.
This work takes me all around New Zealand and involves working face to face in small groups. In the future I see myself becoming more involved in distance education and training/assessing more flexibly.
Areas of Expertise:
Identifying training needs.
Developing training initiatives to meet clients’ training needs
Training /developing individuals and groups in the skills of management and leadership: employing a full range of training techniques. These may be formal workshops/ seminars, on the job training, coaching/mentoring, experiential leadership development etc.
Guiding small work based project teams.
Assessing members against NZQA units and qualifications
Please see the Training and Consultancy Portfolio below for a detailed breakdown of disciplines:
Training Philosophy:
Will develop a sound base of management principles on which future training can be built. In doing so, the principles of leadership and quality management will be developed rather than quick fix solutions. Will focus on managing resources and leading people. Leadership issues will be based on values and principles. We will also be concentrating on applying the information, rather than examining theoretical issues.

you have a very interesting portfolio. I would be interested in hearing about the strategies you use to help your trainees incorporate good communication techniques into their learning around leadership. For example, say they have an excellent idea for change or for solving issues, how do you get them to articulate that idea in a way which captures the interest of their colleagues and brings about change?
the next guest lecture on Peer assist techniques would appeal to your professional interests I would think. I am looking forward to reading your views about this speaker's ideas.
