A bit of background

After studying Drama and Music and a subsequent Masters in Management at Queens University Belfast – the former for pleasure, the latter because I couldn’t get a job – and spending the first part of my career not enjoying myself much, I joined PwC, which I couldn’t recommend more (and that’s why I’m still there).

While at PwC I specialised in People & Change and Learning Organisations, and I’ve enjoyed it so much that in mid-2011 I returned to study part time, and I’m part way now through an MSc Psychology. It’s tiring and the schedule between work and study is brutal, but I couldn’t be happier!

Setsights

As my day job involves dealing with organisations, I also run a boutique training consultancy called Setsights Ltd at the weekends. There I do bits and pieces of career coaching for individuals changing career, and design training for other companies, predominately around graduate development or student employability skills. Between my week and my weekend I have no free time left, but as it means I get to combine all sorts of organisational and social psychology with training design and delivery, I couldn’t bear giving any of it up.

Want to know more?

I’d recommend you start off with reading my LinkedIn page.

I’d prefer not to be contacted with speculative job offers (unless they’re fantastic!) but I’m always interested in taking on new Setsights clients, so if you need a course designing please get in touch.

You may also want to take a look at some of the videos on my YouTube channel which is a strange mix of public speaking, training and comedy… with the latter frequently being amusing solely in its high level of embarrassment…
