Teaching interests

My main focus is on teaching and encouraging successful learning in my classes.

I have consistently received high teaching grades from students and delegates in the institutions where I have worked and am the first and only tutor to achieve 100% scores from all course delegates for a programme at the Department for Continuing Education, University of Oxford.

I was also a Continuing Professional Development Manager at the University of Oxford where I continue to be a tutor.

I began my career as a teacher and then taught in Sweden for a number of organisations including: Volvo, Alfa Laval, State Railways, and FFV Defence.

I then taught in Saudi Arabia for an oil company and have since worked in many countries.

Experiential learning underpins my teaching philosophy and I have jointly authored (with Colin Beard) four editions of the core text: Experiential Learning: A Practical Guide for Training, Coaching and Education.

The application of these principles translates into student-centred learning involving: competitions, questionnaires, discussion, Socratic enquiry, problem-based learning, and the provision of core knowledge.

My teaching is underpinned with wide practical work and consultancy experience in many sectors including: aerospace engineering, airlines, banking, defence, health, law, oil, pharmaceuticals, retail, transportation, and for the United Nations Development Programme in Ethiopia and Nigeria.

The result of this ongoing experience is that my teaching connects grounded academic theory with practical relevance to real and current business operations.

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. I also recently set up a not-for-profit organisation.

PhD Supervision

I am jointly supervising (with Prof. Simon Jobson, University of Winchester) Dominic Irvine who is researching: A comparison of mental fatigue between ultra-endurance cyclists and senior business leaders.

I have previously supervised Nasir Mohammed �C An examination of the Malaysian Education System

I am particularly interested in supervising in the areas of: learning and development; strategic foresight, and knowledge management.
