At the moment

Over the past few months, I have been supporting Comic Relief, Horatio’s Garden, UNICEF UK and Bar Standards Board on our Presentation Skills programme to help participants to communicate effectively while building their confidence in their presentations. The most fulfilling part of this programme is when I get to see the immediate and significant changes to their presentation skills.

I have also been delivering management training for managers at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and Southampton Hospitals Charity in our Management Development Programme. During the programme, I facilitate conversations and provide tools to help participants 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, you can sign up for the upcoming public programme coming up in November.

I am really excited to be delivering our upcoming Project Management public programme coming up in December. On this programme, I share my experiences on projects and work with participants on their project management approach. The practical tools and techniques from our Project Management programme helps make projects feel less daunting and ensure successful outcomes.

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!
