Bio
Kate Oughton
Roger is an inspirational and enthusiastic trainer and I think what really makes the difference is that you can tell he loves what he does. Roger doesn't just deliver training effectively; he is across new theories about learning and development and is often creating new activities to get the best of everyone. I've been through his Management Academy which was excellent and very relevant and I have always had positive feedback from my consultants who have been on his training. Roger also makes you accountable for your own learning which really ensures that you take your new skills and implement them across your desk/team/business. He will be sorely missed in the Asia-Pac Region!

Roger worked on training me through our Management Academy as well as worked on training my team for various modules. What I really like about him is his high energy level. He worked very hard to make the program a success. Roger is very approachable and even though we may bug him with stuff he is always there to help. He is very passionate about training and Learning & Development and that can be seen in the way he conducts the training. Great colleague to work with.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Roger and welcome the chance to work together again. Roger has a highly engaging style and a wealth of knowledge, during training learners were hooked. Personally I found Roger had excellent suggestions on how I could further develop my own training style and was a great mentor.
