Hi, I’m Glen - prepare to be inspired!
My expertise in terms of training, facilitation and coaching stems from a combination of three main elements- firstly, I’ve worked with developing people for over 30 years, having twice been awarded as the Professional Speakers Association Educator of the Year. Secondly, I’ve worked with hundreds of businesses and thousands of employees, especially in team leader development, with my expertise in this field being represented in seven published books including “The Art of Persuasive Influence” and “Navigating Courageous Conversations”. And lastly, having seen my fair share of uninspiring people development, I’ve worked to upskill my own delivery which has seen me reach the status of “Certified Speaking Professional” (CSP)- one of only 10 in New Zealand.
These three factors combine to mean that my facilitation and coaching is insightful, engaging, and most of all, effective. But I don’t stop there! As a judge for the Westpac Business Awards in the Employer of the Year category I’m exposed to cutting edge business practices that inform my own training, especially in the area of leading and inspiring staff.
