My Personal Profile
I have worked in the financial services industry for in excess of 30 years, and in a
variety of roles. This has included working in a bank, then as a financial adviser. In
more recent times I have moved into supporting roles including as a business
analyst, obtaining project management qualifications along the way, before starting to
carry out L&D a few years ago.
This started quite late in my career, but of all the things I have done I have found
L&D the most enjoyable and fulfilling. I am also aware the financial services industry
I work in is constantly changing, and it is necessary to keep up to date with these
changes.
Specifically, my role involves training and developing advisers for external business
partners, and therefore my own personal credibility with them is key. These firms are
also potential future employers, and I am very keen to appear as professional, and
multi-skilled as possible. If they want any form of training from us I want them to
think of, and ask for me, first.
It is important to me that I deliver high quality training that meets the needs of the
individuals and firms concerned – this should lead to them achieving higher levels of
sales, but more importantly it should improve the quality, and therefore the retention
of the products sold.
To enable me to do this I need to broaden my skills as a trainer, and one key area of
this is making my delivery appeal to all the people I deliver to. This course should
enable me to identify different learning styles, and to recognise which style will
appeal to whom. This should help avoid falling into the trap of the ‘sheep dip’
approach to training.
For the above reasons, and because I want to remain in L&D for the rest of my
career, I have chosen to study for CIPD.
