Learning & Development

Elevate Compliance, Empower Teams: Transformative Learning Solutions.

EU law remains my domain of expertise; learning design acumen is the amplifier.

Over fifteen years of explaining the nature and contents of directives for officials taught me that depth only matters when delivered well. I now fuse legal rigour with advanced L&D strategy to craft blended experiences that turn dense regulations into clear, actionable insight, helping organisations not merely understand European law but thrive in it.

Catalyst

In 2020, as the world grappled with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the master's programme I was passionately leading faced unprecedented challenges. With over 20 dedicated students, many of whom were on scholarships from Luxembourg's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, and a curriculum that featured four enriching academic weekends scheduled to take place in Luxembourg every semester, we were at a crossroads.

As borders closed and the world went into lockdown, the prospect of continuing our programme as planned seemed daunting. Yet, the thought of cancelling or postponing was unthinkable. The stakes were high, not just for the students, who had invested their money and hopes in their education, but also for our sponsors, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, and our esteemed academic partners at L'Université de Lorraine.

With little time to spare, I embarked on a whirlwind mission to transform our in-person sessions into a well-crafted series of webinars. We revamped our learning management system with a sense of urgency and innovation, ensuring that every student could continue their education without disruption.

This rapid pivot to online learning was more than just a logistical feat; it was a significant cultural leap for the organisation and everyone involved. At a time when online seminars were a novelty rather than the norm, we were trailblazing a new path forward.

Adapting Education in Crisis

  • EU law training

    I adeptly simplify complex EU law into accessible training, favouring seminars and workshops while also leveraging extensive experience in webinars and blended learning formats. This multifaceted approach ensures comprehensive understanding and measurable impact, catering to diverse learning preferences and environments.

  • Technical Assistance

    With over a decade of experience, I've led projects focused on enhancing the capacities of public administration and supporting judicial reforms, funded by Luxembourg's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. These projects spanned Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Turkey. I'm also open to assignments in Ukraine and Moldova.

  • Advisory on policy design

    At any stage of the policy cycle, I provide constructive input, from defining objectives to evaluating regulatory options, their impact, and ex-post assessments. Additionally, I assist national administrations in ensuring compliance through EU law compliance analysis.

  • EU law compliance

    I specialise in guiding businesses through EU law compliance. Working alongside in-house counsels and independent solicitors, we develop a deep understanding of EU norms and compliance best practices. Our collaborative efforts are aimed at enhancing institutional capabilities and establishing effective procedural workflows, thus preventing legal violations and minimising sanction risks.

Training projects’ management

Managing projects from a 1-hour online Q&A to a 2-year master programme, I emphasise efficient team organisation towards clear goals. Success hinges on cohesive project management, ensuring every initiative, short or long-term, achieves its objectives with precision and excellence.

Training of trainers

I aid trainers in elevating their skills, offering guidance from foundational techniques for novices to advanced strategies for seasoned speakers. My support encompasses tailor-made exercises and detailed feedback to refine your presentation abilities.

Training conversions and blending

Switching from in-person sessions to online webinars and back! It requires vision to blend these elements seamlessly and expertise to implement them effectively. My approach is designed to enhance learning outcomes, supporting individuals to thrive in both virtual and in-class settings.

Training needs analysis

I provide organisations with tailored Training Needs Analysis, identifying crucial systemic knowledge & skills gaps for developing effective training curricula. This essential step ensures L&D strategies meet specific needs, enhancing training initiative efficacy while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Public Presentation Skills Training

As a seasoned practitioner, I provide custom workshops to enhance your ability to deliver clear, compelling, and well-structured presentations. Tailored for both individuals and groups, my training ensures you captivate your audience with confidence, whether in business, academia, or any public speaking engagement.

Evaluation of training

To assess if training objectives are met, a comprehensive evaluation is essential. Merely distributing a 'was it good?' type of feedback form post-training often falls short of capturing the full impact. A robust evaluation framework is required to truly gauge effectiveness and inform future improvements.
