About...

Curious people ask lots of questions.  Asking these questions gets them answers.  The more answers they have, the better the  decisions they will make!
Getting creative means learners approach things differently.  This leads to  better recall, and transfer of learning back to the workplace.
Developing credibility is vital for Managers and Trainer alike.  I believe this starts with credible learning solutions that are bespoke to their needs.   ​

Where did it all start?
​

In January 2016 I founded Curious Lighthouse Learning Consultancy to support and develop; Managers and L&D Professionals to look beyond standard qualifications, and focus on three key areas: 
Curiosity   ~ Bespoke design and delivery to fit your needs
Creativity  ~ Making learning memorable to aid retention
Credibility ~ Enabling immediate use back in the workplace   

Where does the name come from?
​

No matter where you are in the UK, chances are you're no more than 70 miles from the nearest coast line!  On land, a lighthouse shows us what's beyond our instinctive eye line, a glimpse of the horizon.  ​At sea, it shows us safe passage, a way home.  Whichever way you look at it, a lighthouse provides a clearer picture for us to base our choices on.
A standard lighthouse has a fixed light source, at the top, rotating at regular intervals and are usually in use during time of limited visibility.  What if that light could shine anywhere at any time?  Where would you shine that light?

I believe that when learning is fun,
​it's much more memorable!

Here's just a few examples
