I’m passionate about helping people develop; this has been a core element of both my paid and voluntary roles, predominantly in the library and information sectors.
I provide training, coaching and mentoring to organisations and individuals. My current offer includes workshops on research skills, statistics, leadership, and action learning set facilitation.
Research is another passion; I conduct research and provide support for others. My particular areas of expertise are horizon scanning and user research, including usage analysis, surveys, focus groups, interviews, and ethnographic research methods.
Based in Newcastle-under-Lyme, I work predominantly from home thanks to the wonders of fibre broadband, email and teleconferencing software, and am able to travel to most places in the UK.
