Training Theory


“I like to approach each training session as a dialogue. I believe the trainer and delegates should exchange insights and examples so that the training material becomes alive and relatable and moves away from the being mere theoretical instruction. I believe there is a lot to learn from the manner in which communications is evolving in the dynamic, heterogeneous and fast-growing Middle Eastern region and would hope that delegates attending my training session will leave with a more realistic and rounded understanding of the communications landscape in the fascinating region I call home.”
