“NAVIGATING THE FUTURE OF LEARNING
Adults are struggling to adapt to demanding work schedules. The mental health of young adults is declining as they face wide-ranging pressures, including ATAR score level and uncertainty of a transitioning economy. I am mindful of these stressors and have made it my mission to meet these challenges head-on with my innovative training practices and creative units across all our courses.
I have a perspective of the future challenges including climate change, digital skills and the importance of creating signature learning ecosystems across the community, collaboration with employers and universities.
I am passionate about equipping our learners with this unique skill set and emotional intelligence to ensure they can respond to the changing landscape.”
“Just wanted to say thank you for the value you place on me, for my uniqueness and strengths. You promote an environment where I feel like I am able to not only share my contribution, but also know it is actually considered and appreciated.
You make me feel authentically supported when you say, “I believe in you” and you genuinely mean it.
The excitement you express to co-learn with me rather than teach me, makes me feel like you are a partner in my learning experience.
You have so much to share, but I love how you also openly communicate how much I have to share as well and how much you learn by engaging with me!
Trainers like you are rare and I’m so blessed to have you as my trainer. My experience with you truly has empowered me to be a “World Changer”. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
