In 2003 a personal transition happened from Engineering into Education. The problems changed from being physical to cognitive. The solutions still varied from creative to simple.
The results, the changes in the people, far more rewarding.
2022 another transition, now sharing techniques and experiences to support others in finding their own solutions.
Experiences build understanding. I am a coach, an educator, a designer and a pragmatist.
My experiences, personal and professional give me the skills to communicate with an incredibly diverse audience, from school pupils to CEO's.
Professionally my reason for being is:
"To ensure all have the tools and the opportunity to be the best they can be."
To this end I have developed skills to share learning, to facilitate understanding and to engage learners. Moor Ideas the Merrier ltd is a company founded on these ideals.
My reason for being. Family is all.
There is a line in a film, "You are my greatest adventure", this is family. Through thick and thin, I have learned more from being part of this family than I ever did in class.
I have learned that as an educator I can share some of my learning with others and support them to grow, personally and professionally.
Many aspects of my personal life are integral to my professional delivery.
Travel really does broaden the mind, be it the small journeys around the city I live in, or the longer further afield destinations.
There is always something to see, to learn, to experience anew.
Travel has taught me to stay curious, to not accept the known, to see with fresh eyes.
The world is a an incredibly diverse place, my experience allows me to celebrate that in building inclusive training solutions.
As a keen cyclist and lover of rugby union I have a deep understanding of the highs and lows sport can bring. Also the dedication and detail which go into improving performance.
As a coach for my daughters rugby team I worked hard to make the sessions fun, inclusive, safe and a place for growth. This is the ethos I carry over to my training.
Taking a component from cycling and improving it and then patenting the improvement taught me there are no limits. It also taught me that we shouldn't just accept, we can challenge and we can improve.
