How I got started on this path

I stumbled across these skills completely by accident. Like many lecturers, I was facing disengaged classrooms, students not studying my materials, complaints on my desk, and high dropout rates. I tried everything – flipped learning, new tech, different teaching models – but nothing stuck. On top of that, I had students struggling with autism and anxiety.

By chance I came across the power of communication and presentation skills.
After attending a short webinar, something clicked. This opened a door to an entire batch of skills that subconsciously I knew existed, but my mind had been closed to.

I dedicated the next few years in further training and learning these skills. As I practiced these skills and implemented them in my classes, I saw my relationship with each group of students transform. Students outcomes started to increase, less students were dropping out, and complaints went down. My own enthusiasm for teaching was reinvigorated!

This is when I knew I had stumbled onto something bigger than a new teaching model! It was a skillset that could transform that classroom experience for both educators and students. This skillset isn’t just for performers or keynote speakers; they’re a game changer for educators.

“I believe every educator deserves the tools to connect deeply with their students – not just to teach content, but to inspire confidence, curiosity, and growth.”

With nearly 15 years in higher education, I’ve taught thousands of students from Certificate 2 to Diploma in VET and also at Associate Degree level. I’ve since trained extensively in advanced communication techniques and now I help educators transform their classrooms by unlocking these skills to elevate their teaching at the 2025 National Vet Conference. In my spare time I coach young kids in gymnastics where I love to inspire the same enthusiasm for learning in a fun and exciting way.
