Short Biography
I'm passionate about helping people develop a full set of aptitudes and skills for a creative future.
Currently I am actively developing emotional intelligence and strengths-based approaches to curriculum design. In a volatile, highly competitive world, creative people are going to need much more than highly evolved craft skills to thrive.
I'm very interested in developing my career towards Educational Leadership. And as always, through the course I lead, playing my part in keeping Britain at the forefront of the Creative Industries world-wide.
As a Course Leader in a fast evolving field, coupled with all that's going on in the UKHE sector, I have a proven track record of effectively managing change, and am consistently entrepreneurial in my approach to opportunities.
