Inspiration
Effective reviewing skills are at the heart of successful experiential learning. That is why I chose to specialise in 'reviewing skills training'. My original inspiration both personally and professionally has been outdoor adventure. When combined with a supportive group climate (and effective reviewing!) the spirit of adventure can create ideal opportunities for learning and development—for all ages! From these 'outdoor' roots in the 1980's my interests have branched out into many other 'positive' and 'holistic' approaches to learning ... For example, I also draw inspiration from the creative and performing arts. The arts are the source of many highly effective reviewing methods that extend communication skills and boost learning.
Career History
I provided my first training course in reviewing skills in 1983 while I was working for the Brathay Hall Trust—still very much a centre of innovation in development training with youth and adult courses. In 1993, with the publication of my second handbook about reviewing Playback: A Guide to Reviewing Activities (for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award), I decided to make reviewing skills training my main specialism. I have been training trainers, educators and facilitators ever since—in the fields of youth and adult training and education.
