Mark Moore - Consultant - Training

Mark’s approach to training is to avoid over theorising – so the emphasis of his workshops is on practicality. His workshops are highly interactive, and participants do not sit down for long. He encourages participants to share ideas and to reflect and review past experiences. He combines participation with established concepts and techniques. Participants are encouraged to develop and practice specific actions, which can be implemented when they return to the work environment. Mark believes that participants should be able to immediately apply the relevant tools and techniques they have learned.

Mark has an Economics and International Politics degree. He has completed Consulting and Facilitation seminars at Hawthorn Institute, Maxxim, P/D Performance Dynamics, Integro, Liberty Consulting, Australian Psychologists Press, and has Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessment. Mark has 20 years of Training and Consulting experience.
