I am an award-winning professional speaker, thought leader and strategic environmental trainer I help environmental experts develop, deliver and evaluate the outcomes of the great training only they can do.
My First Class Masters degree is in limestone geomorphology, and I have over 30 years’ experience in environmental management and training. I lectured at Auckland University for two years before walking out of the ivory tower and into the septic tank, to work in sewage treatment for the council.
Apart from the cows, I’ve been the only vegetarian in an abattoir – helping the firm reduce waste and increase profits. I’ve worked in factories, farms, rivers and big civil construction sites – but I got out of sewage treatment before I fell in…
My book comes out of my 30+ years of environmental management and training. It identifies seven proven Success Factors which support training that transforms every job into a green job - a job that's good for people and the environment.
The world faces a plethora of increasingly urgent environmental issues together with a global skills shortage. Environmental training can solve both these problems.
To help environmental experts do this important work, my book is supported by a free Action Planner and a free Toolbox with over 30 other free resources.
Do I have the track record to help you? Yes, because I've won two awards for my environmental work and training, and two awards for my professional speaking: it's all about Learning for Life on Earth.
