COLIN SMITH

Weald Learning founder and training consultant.

Training. Mentoring. Coaching. Call it whatever you like, it’s in my blood.

I began my journey in learning design and facilitation 10 years ago. This was built on a solid foundation in the fast-moving corporate world. I worked in advertising and digital media for 36 years, including leadership roles at LinkedIn, Yahoo and AOL.

Big teams and massive budgets – the sharp end of managing people and hitting targets. Results, results, results. My career depended on them.

As a team leader, I became fascinated by the art and science of getting the best out of people. I found that if the teams I was responsible for were happy and inspired, they brought their A-game to work, and results always followed. The more I found out about the different styles of learning and development, the more I had to get involved.

In my twenties, I’d wanted to be a teacher, and in a round about way, that’s where I ended up – training teams and leaders in business.

Along the way, I’ve developed nine guiding principles that I stand by to this day. These principles put people and outcomes right at the centre of the training that Weald Learning delivers.

It’s still all about results; but now I get to deliver them for thousands of people in hundreds of companies all over the world.
