Become the strategic L&D Partner they can't ignore

The Art of Performance Consulting

Sound familiar?

I never wanted to work at McDonalds.

Nothing against the company or those who do. I just don’t like taking orders. Yet, somehow, I found myself working at a McDonalds disguised as an L&D team.I don’t know how it happened, I just knew I didn’t like it.You see, what they neglect to tell you (whoever the mysterious ‘they’ are) is that 99% of organisations view us as nothing more than a transaction.Instead of delivering Big Macs and fries, we pump out courses and content with no questions asked. Sometimes they don’t even ask our name.And this, my friend, sucks!!!→ There’s no other way to say it.I’m sure, like me, you got into the L&D world to shape the performance and growth of fellow humans. Not to become a mindless drone pimping out some random course that the person who thinks they need it really doesn’t.Thankfully, one day, I found the answer to my problems.If I wanted to shape real change and enhance performance I needed to get 3 things:1. Respect
2. Credibility
3. TrustWhat was that answer you say?Well. I stopped acting like a drive-thru and I started to think like a consultant. Not one of those we hear about at consulting firms whom we’re all bemused about what they actually do.I’m on about the smart folks who ask the right questions. The ones who know what good looks like and can translate that to business leaders.The ones who kick those fries to the side and say “Not today line manager. I’m gonna solve the real problem here”.If you feel like this and want to do something about it.You’ve come to the right place.I’ve spent over a decade leading global L&D projects and products for enterprises, scale-ups and start ups. I’m offering you the tools and strategies to become a valued strategic partner.You don’t wanna be in that drive-thru forever, do you?
