Overview
Annette is an experienced trainer who brings a senior leadership perspective and a genuine interest in helping people build their confidence, develop their skills and approach workplace challenges in new ways.
Annette’s background spans media, local government and higher education, where she held the role of Associate Dean, giving her a practical understanding of managing teams, supporting staff and balancing competing priorities. She uses this knowledge to connect leadership and management concepts with the realities people face at work.
Annette has designed and delivered leadership, management and professional development training for UK and international audiences, ranging from those early in their careers to experienced managers and senior professionals, including Saudi Arabian government professionals. She has also supported aspiring managers through structured leadership development programmes that incorporated practical simulations.
For Annette, a good training session is one where people feel comfortable sharing their experiences, exchanging ideas and learning from one another. She particularly enjoys those moments when something connects for a participant, and they begin to understand themselves better or see a situation from another perspective. Annette wants people to leave with ideas they can put into practice.
