Your people are your greatest investment.

Now, more than ever, it’s time to invest in the wellbeing of your employees: their growth is your growth. 

Whether that’s by providing a systematic approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), or ensuring that you are maximising opportunities for your talents’ development,  you can be assured that supporting your workforce will boost engagement and performance and reduce turnover and absenteeism. 

Progress with DEI is slow: McKinsey (2020) found that hiring diverse talent isn’t enough and recommended ‘bold steps to tackle inclusion’. The boldest step you can take is including introversion into your strategy for building an inclusive workplace. 

At least 50% of your talent will be introverts, yet it’s likely your workplace systems, environment and hiring procedures are all biased in favour of extroversion. 

Don’t sleep on top talent: nurture them.

With several studies suggesting introversion is actually a form of neurodiversity, and one that impacts ALL types of workplace identities, incorporating introversion into your DEIB agenda will have a significant impact on your ability to create true, intersectional, equity and inclusion.

Invest in your introverted employees and watch your productivity, profit margins and retention soar.

I help companies empower their people.

Why listen to me?

I’ve been working in Learning and Development for over 20 years, and have over a decade’s experience of workshop facilitation and training trainers: I’ve delivered training to well over 10,000 delegates to date.

During this time I have worked with individuals from almost every sector, from teachers to C-suite leaders, and with every conceivable size of audience.

I’ve facilitated a diverse range of workshops: from pedagogy to leadership skills; innovation and Design Thinking to change management and resilience; presentation skills to Value Proposition and microaggressions to mindset.

When the pandemic hit, I helped all 8k of Google’s #IamRemarkable facilitators around the globe pivot from face-to-face to online workshop delivery, proving it’s possible to create virtual learning experiences that are every bit as impactful as in-person ones.

I’ve helped countless facilitators improve their skills – and, most importantly, their confidence. 

Additionally, I have managed the onboarding of new trainers, put quality assurance systems in place and improved their performance by providing tailored feedback, as well as assisted hundreds of companies around the world scale an initiative internally and improve their learning design.

I’m also one of the world’s leading experts in introversion, and have been working in the field of DEIB since 2019.

Most importantly, I am passionate about what I do.

I want to help you support your talent and make your workplace more inclusive for intersectional identities, and my extensive experience means that I know exactly how to provide training and consultancy that has real impact.

Get in touch today to see how I can help you.

Sam, without you, our UKI programme at Salesforce would never have scaled and so many of us learned so much from you. I am going to miss working with you and how seamless you made everything.
