Transform Your Workforce


Are you looking for a dynamic and passionate training specialist to elevate your organisation's talent development? With over two decades of growth in the training sector, I have honed a unique ability to inspire individuals from all walks of life. My journey began with the opening of my first restaurant and evolved into a fulfilling vocation dedicated to fuelling careers and unlocking potential. 


What sets me apart? My effervescent enthusiasm and strong ethical values emphasise encouragement, recognition, and collaboration. I firmly believe in the mantra "be impressive," committing to invest unconditionally in myself and everyone I engage with. My career trajectory resembles an orienteering championship, marked by significant milestones in Hospitality Management and a rich tapestry of Learning & Development (L&D) experiences.


  • The Big Brother Project: Designed and delivered a transformative two-week Personal Development course to hundreds of delegates, fostering growth and self-discovery.


  • Welfare to Work Projects: Managed contracts and established four training centres and a team of 23 staff, facilitating impactful training programs that changed lives.


  • Business Skills Training: Delivered nationwide training to countless corporate and private organisations, impacting hundreds of executives and professionals across diverse industries.


  • International Training Consultant: Facilitated hundreds of global soft skills workshops for thousands of delegates.


My experiences are enriched by valuable relationships with international stakeholders, HR professionals, CEOs, directors, and change management specialists. Each connection has provided insights into brilliant mindsets and world-class accomplishments, nurturing my growth as a training leader.


The success of my work is reflected in transformational outcomes: inspirational professional performance, resilient teams, discovered talent, and authentic leadership. Feedback from participants often describes my training as "transformative," "eye-opening," and "life-changing." These testimonials fuel my passion to contribute meaningfully and explore the remarkable potential yet to be engaged.


If you seek a dedicated L&D Facilitator who can deliver exceptional workshops and training interventions that positively impact your organisation, I invite you to connect with me. Together, we can cultivate a workforce that inspires ambition and turns potential into performance! 

This guy has nothing to prove. When the days are tough, you want him there. When the going gets tough and negativity appears you need him. Each day is fresh when Graham is in your team no matter where in the world he is. My recommendation for this guy is simple, thank you for being you.
