Learning Design: Maybe you are here because you have a sense of what is needed to progress your team’s achievements and want to create an engaging learning solution to help.
Facilitation: Maybe you also want someone who can help your team to find a way to tap into their insights for goal achievement.
Coaching: Or maybe you are ‘hearing a whisper’ of who you could be, and know that this could make your work (and life) more fulfilling.
Whatever it is, there is a path that we can progress that will bring these insights together.
I have significant experience working with Senior Executives and Executives across the Australian Public Service, and other industries through my learning design, facilitation and coaching. Through this, I’ve developed a uniquely informed and practical ability to collaboratively design and engagingly facilitate tailored learning programs. My deep experience in professional coaching has proven ability to bring out the best in those I work with. I also enjoy crafting speaking engagements that both inspire and build the capability of your audience to leave them walking out with a more confident approach and an increased engagement for your event!

My Approach: TO make the world a better place
As an experienced wilderness guide, outdoors person, and Aikido black belt; I believe in pragmatic things, sustainable things, and that I should always try to leave a campsite, an environment, or an experience, with it being somehow better than when I found it.
As an executive coach, I believe that if I can help my counterpart (i.e. you) grow your awareness of, and connection with, your best self, then your ability to act on the ‘insights within’ will naturally arise. And… the world will be a better place.
As a facilitator, I believe that if I can help those I serve (my participants) feel safe, respected and engaged then they will be able to learn (and where necessary, unlearn), practice new skills, and gain the confidence to put their best selves forward. And … the world will be a better place.
As a learning designer, I believe that my clients (i.e. you) deserve a learning design that is bespoke and tailored to meet your organisation’s learning needs. Through constructive conversation with you - the unique insights that will inform the learning design arise. And… when we create this, then the world will be a better place.
As a guest / key-note speaker, I believe that if I can talk not just to, but with my audience, and leave them feeling both inspired and more capable through my engaging (and perhaps entertaining) speech / mass-workshop, then they will be better placed to benefit from your event - and will more effectively learn and participate. And…through their engagement, we can all make the world a better place.
ethical leadership
“…I attended a series of virtual leadership workshops that James ran and he was a very warm and highly skilled facilitator/coach. He is clearly well read and passionate about training emotionally intelligent and ethical leaders…” _

Stepping into the fire
“…James is an engaging coach who takes the time to listen, read the room, watch the body language of the people before him and instinctively know just how to reach each individual. He helped me to step into the fire…and not catch alight!”
