I am a qualified, experienced and sometime award-winning Learning & Development professional, with some 30 years experience in L&D, IT Training and Learning Technologies. An occasional conference speaker, chair, blogger and tweeter, I have built, led and managed IT Training and L&D teams in both the public and private sectors. Now an Independent L&D and Learning Technology Consultant, I know a little about a lot and a lot about very little! I'm a husband, a Dad, an armchair astronomer, a walker, and an enthusastic collaborator via social media. I am very happy to share with, and to learn from, you!
