Terry Little

Summary
I have over 20 years experience as a qualified L&D professional. During my career I have sought to improve and expand my repertoire, moving from technical through to management and interpersonal skills training and then into change management.
I have proven ability to work with local and national teams effectively.
I place a strong emphasis on real training outcomes rather than being wholly data led.
I pride myself on using innovative training techniques to enhance learning engagement.
