Hire the Best Leadership Training Freelancers
in the United Kingdom

Learning & Development specialist with experience designing and delivering impactful learning solutions across global organisations. I combine facilitation expertise with strong instructional design and learning strategy to create engaging, outcome-driven programmes aligned to business goals. I’ve supported leadership development, onboarding, and AI adoption, translating complex topics into practical, scalable learning experiences that drive capability growth and performance.

I help organizations solve their toughest people development challenges - whether that's fixing a failing AI rollout, designing high-impact learning programs, or building capability frameworks that actually change behavior. What I bring: 20+ years of senior-level experience in HR and organizational change at global companies like Morgan Stanley, HelloFresh, and Babbel. I've built learning functions from scratch, managed multi-million dollar talent budgets, rolled out digital transformation programs across multiple countries, and helped thousands of people develop capabilities they didn't know they had. I bridge the gap between theoretical best practices and what actually works in practice - accounting for politics, constraints, and the reality that your people are already overwhelmed. My expertise spans: AI Adoption & Implementation Most AI rollouts fail because organizations treat them like software deployments. I help you diagnose what's actually broken - governance gaps, capability deficits, manager readiness, cultural blockers - and build concrete plans to fix it. This includes readiness audits, enablement playbooks, governance frameworks, and implementation roadmaps. Instructional Design & Learning Development Creating learning experiences that drive measurable behavior change, not just completion rates. I design everything from bespoke leadership programs to interactive eLearning (Articulate 360/Rise, Storyline) to compliance training that people don't hate. I embed outcome-driven evaluation models (NPS, case studies, logic models) so you can prove ROI. Leadership & Management Development Designing and delivering programs that transform managers into effective, empathetic leaders. This includes curriculum design, facilitation, coaching frameworks, and manager enablement strategies. I've crafted flagship leadership programs for companies across Europe and presented results to boards. Organizational Change & HR Strategy Strategic consulting on L&D function audits, future-ready workforce strategies, early career pathways, and talent development frameworks. I help you navigate complex transformations - whether that's AI adoption, digital upskilling, or building learning cultures that actually stick. How I work: Evidence-based, no corporate jargon - I focus on outcomes you can measure Fast turnaround without sacrificing quality - I understand business timelines Strategic thinking meets practical execution - I don't just give you a strategy deck; I build the materials you need to execute Stakeholder management - I've presented to boards, navigated complex political landscapes, and built buy-in across skeptical audiences What clients typically hire me for: Diagnosing why their AI adoption rates are stuck despite training investment Designing interactive eLearning courses and digital skills campaigns Building leadership development programs that produce measurable behavior change Creating governance frameworks for AI that enable experimentation without compliance risk Auditing L&D functions and developing future-ready talent strategies Developing capability frameworks and learning pathways for complex roles Facilitating workshops to build leadership alignment on strategic initiatives Recent work includes: AI readiness audits and enablement playbooks for mid-market organizations Leadership curriculum design and facilitation for global tech companies Compliance training for regulated financial services (that people actually engaged with) Neurodiversity and DEI training programs Career coaching and talent development frameworks Digital learning campaigns using Articulate 360, Rise, and other authoring tools Let's talk if you need: Someone who understands both the people side and the technology side. Someone who can think strategically but also roll up their sleeves and build the actual materials. Someone who's navigated the politics of organizational change and knows how to get things done.

Need learning that actually changes behaviour, not just ticks a box? I help organisations design learning that influences real decisions, not just looks good in an LMS. With over a decade in education and senior leadership roles, I bring a practical, accountable approach to instructional design. Who I work with: I work with organisations that need learning to work in practice, not just meet a brief. Most of my clients are: • L&D and training managers • HR and people teams • Education, public sector, and mission-driven organisations • Teams working in compliance, safeguarding, onboarding, or behaviour change If your training needs to stand up to internal scrutiny and actually influence decisions or behaviour, I’m a good fit. What makes my background different: Before working as a freelance instructional designer, I spent over ten years in international education, including senior leadership roles. That experience means I design learning with: • Real organisational constraints in mind • Multiple stakeholders, not just learners • Clear accountability for outcomes I’ve led digital transformation projects, staff training programmes, safeguarding initiatives, and curriculum design at scale. I understand how learning is approved, questioned, and evaluated inside organisations. How I approach instructional design, I start with: • What needs to change • Who needs to change it • What will realistically work in your context My approach is grounded in learning science and organisational decision-making, shaped by a PGCE and an MBA in Educational Leadership, and always applied pragmatically. I regularly use frameworks such as ADDIE, Action Mapping, and evidence-based design principles to create learning that is clear, focused, and measurable. Areas I’m often hired for: • Scenario-based eLearning and simulations • Safeguarding and compliance training • Staff onboarding and induction • Parent, staff, or community-facing learning • Training where judgement and decision-making matter Recent work includes safeguarding training for parents and staff in education settings, and large-scale teacher onboarding programmes designed to support consistent decision-making across organisations. Tools & delivery - I design and build using: • Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise • PowerPoint and Canva (for stakeholder-friendly materials) • AI-assisted workflows where appropriate and responsible What clients value about working with me: • Clear thinking and structure • Calm, professional communication • Strong stakeholder awareness • Learning that feels realistic and usable • Not needing to “translate” instructional design for leadership I am easy to work with, reliable, and accountable from discovery through delivery.
