I am the founder of Emerge Training and am a nationally recognised award winning trainer. I am a Licensed Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and have specialised in creating, developing and delivering training courses in areas ranging from: Stress Reduction through to Customer Service, Presentation Skills and Advanced Communication. (See website for full course catalogue www.emergetraining.co.uk) I am a TAP accredited trainer (Learning and Performance Institute formerly National Institute of IT Training) and was nationally recognised as one of the top three trainers in the UK in 2001 by receiving the Bronze award for Trainer of the Year (National Institute of IT Training) More recently I have combined my training skills with my previous BBC television presentation experience and created, produced and presented a training video for the NHS, which was distributed to NHS Primary Care Trusts throughout the UK.
I worked both nationally and internationally teaching ‘Negotiating Skills’. I organised and presented ‘Negotiating Skills’ seminars for the corporate world. During this time was also a freelance Training Consultant providing training solutions for a diverse range of organisations. This involved: analysing the customer’s needs; developing training solutions; and delivering the training.
As a Training Consultant I specialised in Personal and Interpersonal skills, Business Systems Analysis, Process Documentation and Improvement and Communication Skills. I incorporated my NLP skills and counselling techniques to enhance the delivery of my training. By combining my creativity, course delivery skills and enthusiasm, I make learning both interesting and enjoyable. I also understand the importance of incorporating ‘real life’ experience to support the training I deliver.
During my seven years in the Entertainment Industry I worked as an actress and dancer. My work consisted of mainly Summer Seasons and Pantomimes. During a summer run I would perform in six different shows a week ranging from ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to ‘The Butlins Story’.
During my time as an entertainer, I was contracted by the BBC as a TV presenter for BBC 1. I presented: ‘live’ television with my co-host Andi Peters; ‘live’ outside broadcasts; and filmed many pop interviews with celebrities such as Cliff Richard. I also made a short film on the day in the life of a redcoat. As the majority of this work involved live broadcasts I discovered my ability to: work well under pressure; maintain control of a situation; be quick thinking and articulate; and to remain calm in a crisis.
