Skills

Leadership & facilitation
Recognised as an astute leader, team builder and a natural and skilled facilitator; I understand group dynamics and I have experience in facilitating focus groups, forums, deliver training amongst others. I have found these to be gratifying and stimulating experiences especially as I adopt a contributory role. I have extensive training in leadership courses with specific focus on change management. I appreciate and utilise a structured approach to change with emphasis on the impact this has on people and how they move from a current situation to the new one, either as individuals or as a team.
Engagement & evaluation
I have played a key part in the strategic approaches to engagement, by designing and implementing quality standards, self-assessments, feedback and evaluation systems that include all stakeholders in the process. I have devised and developed the systems and structures to elicit feedback in all aspects of organisational operation, which include focus groups, consultation forums and all-inclusive methodology.
