Teaching Approach
Create a learning environment
Provide clear executive summaries of the core content; let’s not complicate the basics
Get people excited; it’s a fascinating time to study business (GenAI, supply chain, cryptocurrency, ways of working)
Create a safe environment to ask questions, debate, disagree; it’s okay to not agree with everyone, all the time
Record lectures in advance, so you can watch it 1.5x speed, more than once, take notes; be ready for class discussion
Learn by doing; passive listening doesn’t work for me, probably doesn’t work for you
Nudge you to do the work; there is a LOT to learn, especially if you want to learn, leap, jump in your career
Ask you for for key takeaways after each class; education = what you remember, after you forget what you learned
Encourage you to learn selfishly; adults only learn what they can use, make personal
Teaching is a privilege. Love it

Management consultant by training and passion. Huge believer in the consulting process as the most effective way to tackle complex and ambiguous problems – turning data into insights, drawing out consensus, and driving change through pragmatic plans.
