I teach and mentor because I love the process and interactions with next generation leaders. To me, it is a real pleasure to teach, learn and exchange ideas,. As a tutor, my personal objectives are:
- Help you apply theory and experience to achieve faster and more effective learning.
- Help you enjoy the learning process and course experience.
- Encourage you and enable you to a higher level of personal performance.
I teach with textbooks, sure, but the real world of business is not just theory. I will challenge you based on the realities of working for decades inside companies, both big and small. I want them to experiment and grow and really stretch your skills and creativity. I will be your coach, so don't be surprised if I stop in the middle of an answer or discussion to do just that.
