Training That Gets Results

Unlock your team’s potential with practical, high-impact training.

Training Tailored to Suit You

Customized Training to Get Real Change

Training courses come out of the analysis process, where we work together to understand your specific situation. We focus on what you want to see change in your operations and align the training approach around that.

Engaging Training with Lasting Results

Our training centres on learners getting better at the skills they need. Mastery is more motivating than any game. The courses have a relaxed, supportive atmosphere, with plenty of time to laugh and joke – but we are serious about results!

Practical Materials to Support Learning

We provide practical resources that help your team apply what they learn in the real-world, after the course finishes. We move learning out of the (virtual) class room, making a real difference to how your projects run.

Transform

Training for the Reality of Humanitarian Work

We focus on what your people really need to do. Too much training in the humanitarian sector is about aspirational standards, or nice-but-vague competencies. Our courses are about the practical skills that aid workers need to do their job, day-in, day-out. Our design approach works for most topics or sectors – popular ones include:

Management and Leadership Development

Get your team the skills they need to lead in some of the world’s most challenging environments.

Project Management

Reduce the no-cost extensions, budget overspends, missed deadlines and poor quality reports.

Technical Training

Make sure your technical teams have the skills they need to deliver programmes that work

Transformative

Unlock Your Team's Potential

Our courses offer you and your teams a chance to overcome challenges, perform better, and run programmes that create impact. We focus on the most critical skills for each group, and align those skills with the causes of your challenges. That removes the fluff from training and gets to what really matters.

Focus on a few critical skills and avoid dreary presentations
Do real work tasks whilst learning and apply what you learn right away
Adjust each course to the group’s skill level, so they can practice where they are
Online courses that make the most of learning online, not try (and fail) to recreate a face-to-face course

Use the calendar to book a free, no obligation call with me about your work.

I know the reality of managing aid projects in the field, and am an expert in learning design and running training. If you want to boost your team’s skills, understand complex challenges, or increase your overall impact – I spend my time thinking about how people like you can do that.

We’ll talk about your situation, what you need, and if I can help. If you think it’s a good fit, we’ll talk about the next steps.

The calendar will put a meeting into my calendar at the time you choose and send you an invitation to it too.

Common Questions

Find answers to common questions and concerns about our services.

What is the training service?

With complicated organisations like yours, it is normal that improving performance needs some training to improve things. But jumping straight to training leads to courses where you spend a lot of money and don’t get results. First we need to analyse your situation, and see whether training can help. Then, we’ll design training to help people get better at those key skills. All our training uses best practices for learning. Training can be online, in-person or a combination. We often include additional support before and after the “course”, so training isn’t a one-time event.

How does it work?

You can find a summary of the overall process on the homepage or on this page, above.

What do you need from me?

Your support and contributions to the analysis are particularly important. Gathering data from stakeholders can be difficult without a champion who pushes that forwards. We will also need your support with managing and motivating the group – getting them to the location of the workshop or following up with those who fall behind in an online programme for example. We’ll also work together to assess the impact of what we’ve done.

What does the training look like?

It looks however it needs to look to get you the results you need! Most of my online training is multi-week workshops with diverse groups practicing skills in real-life or realistic scenarios. The tasks that help them practice are the centrepiece of the courses. My face-to- face courses tend to have pre- and post-workshop study components to support practice, and the workshops are highly participatory, focused on practicing skills that need interaction and feedback.

Can you create e-learning for my organisation’s Learning Management System (LMS)?

I personally don’t do self-paced e-learning – it’s not a core skill of mine and a lot of it has very low impact – and it costs a lot. If there is a very compelling reason why self-paced e- learning will address your situation, I can bring an expert in to build that, based on the analysis. Like other kinds of training, it will need to include significant skills practice.

How much does it cost?

Most training projects I work on cost more than $5000, due to the amount of analysis. Do contact me and we can talk about your project and exactly what you’ll need – in the end, it’s what you need that determines the cost.
