Consulting = Blending our Wisdom and our Knowledge

When you consult with me, we blend our wisdom and our knowledge to create a learning experience that meets your needs and the needs of your participants. We combine time-tested models and approaches with new ideas designed especially for you. We listen to potential participants to clarify what they need. And then we work together to refine the design so that it provides the results you want.

Designing a life-and-career-planning course

You may—or may not—have found this item from a reference by Dick Bolles on his JobHuntersBible.com website, on which he refers to me as one of three people who can help you design a life-planning course without having to reinvent the wheel. After almost 30 years of creating such courses, I do have some ideas—and materials—to share.

Designing an extended learning sequence for your high-potential managers

Your potential senior executives are the key to your organisation's success—in the future when they are creating the strategy and RIGHT NOW when they are implementing the strategy.

Designing a learning experience: from 1 hour to 1 day to 2 weeks to 2 years

You want to learn something. Your people want to learn something. Their colleagues, bosses, customers, and suppliers want them to learn something.

Everyone wants something brand new and cutting edge—as long as it is tried and tested and guaranteed to work.

This is where the fun of designing begins.

Trainer Training

After 35 years of training people, I have some clear ideas about what works and what does not work. I'm ready to train you in the skills of training others. We can work on the general skills of facilitating group process or I can train you to deliver some of my own courses within your organisation.

Blended Learning

Blended learning combines face-to-face learning sessions with virtual learning sessions (using telephones, email, and online discussion). This blend allows different people to learn in different ways and allows organisations to save on travel costs.

Executive Assistant to the CEO, Heidelberg

When I look back to the time when Walt Hopkins was my team coach only positive memories come rushing to me. Walt is truly an inspirational coach; his wisdom and wit make for a great combination that has urged me to be better. I still remember his coaching mantra "Support and Challenge", which he masterfully used in our team sessions to take us to the next level of individual performance and team spirit. I truly admire Walt's passion for his work and enthusiasm for developing people around him. Being in the Human Resources function I have also learned a few invaluable pointers in the art of training and giving feedback from him.
