Your Facilitators
An experienced L&D specialist with a passion for program design and facilitation. I am also well experienced in running large multi-disciplined Learning and Development departments as evident from my work history over the past 10+ years.
I am also passionate about understanding human behaviour and embedding these learnings into many of the programs I deliver.

"I am not recognized as one of the most inspirational, humorous and thought provoking speakers, or am I 'one of the most sought after speakers' I enjoy watching people smile and I love to have fun and most of my presentations include lots of laughs."
Gerald is THE best loved, most intelligent, unbelievably hilarious and in most demand in his household, and is becoming one of the most recognisable faces in his street. He is unashamedly different.
Gerald Pauschmann Emotional Intelligence
EI is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they're telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. It also involves your perception of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.
People with high EI are usually successful in most things they do. Why? Because they're the ones that others want on their team. When people with high EI send an email, it gets answered. When they need help, they get it. Because they make others feel good, they go through life much more easily than people who are easily angered or upset.
What is Emotional Intelligence?
We all have different personalities, different wants and needs, and different ways of showing our emotions. Navigating through this all takes tact and cleverness – especially if we hope to succeed in life.
This is where EI becomes important.
Accountability for Learning
Learning styles questionnaire
Theorists
Theorists adapt and integrate observations into complex but logically sound theories. They think problems through in a vertical, step by step logical way. They assimilate disparate facts into coherent theories. They tend to be perfectionists who won’t rest until things are tidy and fit into a rational scheme. They like to analyse and synthesise.
Pragmatists
Pragmatists are keen on trying out ideas, theories and techniques to see if they work in practice. They positively search out new ideas and take the first opportunity to experiment with applications. They are the sort of people who return from management courses brimming with new ideas that they want to try out in practice.
What is your preferred learning style...
Activists
Activists involve themselves fully and without bias in new experiences. They enjoy the here and now and are happy to be dominated by immediate experiences. They are open-minded, not sceptical, and this tends to make them enthusiastic about anything new. Their philosophy is: “I’ll try anything once”.
Reflectors
Reflectors like to stand back to ponder experiences and observe them from many different perspectives. They collect data, both first hand and from others, and prefer to think about it thoroughly before coming to any conclusion.
