In business, some people are great at implementation, others are fantastic problem solvers... I'm an architect.In Learning, I am known for building great teams, innovative systems and solutions, particularly aimed at delivering outstanding service. In Talent, I created early career programmes to accelerate the development of an ever growing millennial generation of Future and Aspiring Leaders. Being a dreamer, a realist and a pragmatic, in sequence, is a strategy that helped me develop: - An award winning Future Leaders Programme that has become our global graduate programme at IHG- A successful and self-funded training department for 55000+ employees in Europe- A digital transformation plan to help us grow our reach and our ROE Along with great colleagues across the oceans I contributed to the design and execution of our best in class General Manager Programme, using the latest social learning technology to to help our GMs become Brand Managers and a true inspiration for their teams.Although the "dreamer" part of me was built in from the start, it took me 8 years of Training & Development experience to become a "realist" and 8 years in hotel operations to acquire the "pragmatic" side of my personality that is so useful to gain credibility when addressing an audience of very experienced operational leaders. And in my spare time.... I use my skills in Neuro-Linguistic Programming to help others regain control over their fears, transform their limitations into strengths, build confidence in themselves and ...be happy!
