At the moment

Over the past few months, I have been delivering management training for managers in Royal Shakespeare Company, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council, National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), and Motor Neurone Disease Association in our Management Development Programme. During the programme, I help participants to better understand their own management styles and help them gain confidence in managing themselves and their teams. If that sounds like something you would be interested in, join our upcoming public programme coming up in May.

In the next few weeks, I will be working with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Charity, Waythrough, and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home on Assertive Conversations, helping them to get into an assertive mindset and provide them with tools to practice and prepare for those difficult conversations.

I will also be facilitating time management discussions with Guarantco, British Film Institute, Leprosy Mission and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), helping them to identify and deal with ‘time thieves’. I particularly enjoyed our conversations on prioritising long and short-term goals. Managing Multiple Priorities provides tools and tips on how to deal with a heavy workload and procrastination. I am using these tools daily and finding them helpful in situations when everything feels like a priority.

Before =mc learning

Prior to working in =mc learning, I was in various management roles in the Singapore Navy and managed small teams of 3 to larger teams of 30, in areas such as training, communications and operations. My work in those areas provided me a great foundation in my ability to manage people, deliver training and motivate teams.

Back in Singapore, I volunteered with Action for AIDS, where I administered anonymous HIV tests and provided sexual health advice, to support their mission of ending HIV transmission in Singapore.

Outside of volunteering, I am also an Oxford Imp, an improv comedy troupe that entertains audience with unscripted comedy and games. As an improviser, I strive to create a safe and collaborative space for everyone to have fun and thrive in. As a learning and development consultant, I will bring that same energy to create a fun, learning environment for all participants. See you on our next programme!
