Dr B: Developing & Delivering High-Quality Learning Content
My philosophy in learning and development is in placing the talent at the centre of learning and including her/his global experiences that adds to the group learning. I believe everyone has something that is of value that we can learn from. Thus, my focus in L&D has been in collaborative opportunities and in providing immediate feedback – both F2F and virtually – including via learning management systems. Over the years, I have worked with various universities – providing content development and delivery to both university students as well as to adult learners. I have great fulfilment in facilitating sessions I develop in the space of organizational behaviour and psychosocial safety and wellbeing. Much of my work is in creating internal insight that motivates individuals and teams in taking small steps in creating changes they want to see in their workplace.
From being the Director of Executive Education and providing training to SMEs, to teaching working adults in postgraduate programs (e.g. MA Managerial Psychology, MA Counseling) to conducting corporate training in my private practice, I have enjoyed providing learning and development opportunities to a wide range of clients from various industries and countries – both face-to-face and using online technology. Positions such as Assistant Professor in Applied Psychology (Work Psychology) at the University of Nottingham has helped me nurture and develop future practitioners. As a result, many of my students from various parts of the world – from the United Kingdom to Sweden to China and India – now work successfully in I/O Psychology, Human Resources and Learning & Development.
At PETRONAS, it was critical we aligned efforts in people development with our business objectives. For example, in achieving the organization’s vision for zero fatality, I conducted a briefing for developers/trainers where I mind-mapping our GC training to Self-Regulation requirements to help the company move closer to the necessary government accreditation.
I am very familiar with various softwares that aid in learning including MS Office, research software such as SPSS and SAS, video conferencing and video editing; learning platforms such as Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, and use various learning tools in facilitating my trainings including Slido, Quizzizz, and Kahoot for online interaction and engagement.
