I facilitate workshops for teams and groups of people applying a range of communication techniques from Human-Centred Design through to Lego Serious Play.
I also work with journalists, media professionals, j-students and consult media organisations – mainly through international media development agencies, in-house workshops and journalism schools.
Below you’ll find details of recent workshops.
If you’re interested in my approach to instructional design, training and facilitating, this Medium article offers more insight.
