Eugene Washington Walker is a Programme Director MSc People Analytics and Human Centric Management at UCL School of Management. Colleagues describe him as "I was recommended Eugene by a colleague of mine when I was at the planning stages of a one-day conference I was organising for an internal network at UCL. Having run a survey across our community at the start of the year, it was clear that there was a desire to have networking skills provided, as well an opportunity to put new skills into practise. We were looking for someone who would be able to manage a long session, to be run in the afternoon of our event, which meant we needed someone capable of delivering a workshop, and have the charisma and capacity to keep a tired audience engaged and intrigued at the end of a long day. From the moment I made contact with Eugene he was engaged, responsive and proactive in his approach to suggesting ideas, providing examples of how he would run the session and sharing his wisdom and understanding of the needs of our event. Eugene’s exceptional presentation skills, alongside his in depth knowledge and experience in the field of professional development and networking were outstanding. Eugene was able to capture the full attention of the audience, inspire contributions from participants and equip them with the tools to develop their networking and negotiation skills. Feedback from a post-event survey showed that Eugene’s workshop was the most popular and best received session of our day. His use of interactive learning, knowledge sharing and professional excellence left a long lasting, positive impression on all attendees. I would highly recommend Eugene’s training and workshop skills to anyone who is looking for a thought leader and outstanding facilitator in the field of professional development and networking." and "I met Eugene in 2020 at 2U as the Head of Career Success & Learning Design. We were tasked with launching a new Virtual Career Center (VCC) for the University College of London (UCL) School of Management. Eugene was deemed the career coaching and digital content lead for this high-profile project. Once we met, I instantly recognized his natural aptitude to design, develop, and implement digital education curricula that accelerated professionals' careers. Eugene showcased his knowledge of L&D principles, online learning best practices, and career management strategies as we built out the online career community experience. Eugene partnered my learning design team to develop content outlines for a variety of gamified, self-paced, and blended learning solutions within the VCC. Outside of his curricula development work, he also helped the 2U Program Operations team understand the importance of designing talent development programs that produce meaningful learning experiences for adults navigating career transitions. His commitment to supporting the professional growth of UCL students was demonstrated time and time again, and regularly praised by his peers, leaders, and clients. Eugene consistently positioned himself as a leader, coach, and thought leader in the learning design and career development space. During the time we worked together, his skills spanned from learning design strategy and elearning content development to virtual training and executive-level career advising. Overall, I found Eugene to be a charismatic, poised, and influential leader that has a true desire to cultivate change in rising talent through transformational learning and development experiences. If you are looking for a L&D leader to redesign the way your workplace does people development and career management, Eugene is your guy! I highly recommend Eugene as a digital learning & development (L&D) leader for adults who is focused on producing long-lasting measurable results."
