Hi there, I'm Sam.

Before training as a counsellor, I qualified with the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) and specialised in Learning and Development. My favourite topic was Managing Organisational Learning and Knowledge.

My final dissertation was on introducing online training into the well known law firm within which I was working as a Training and Development Officer.

In fact, my role, there, included creating in person and online training courses that would be helpful to the continuing professional development of all staff, from Trainee Office Clerks to Managing Partners. I wrote and delivered many performance skills courses, for in-person and/or online training in training, quality, processes and good practice.

During my work at the law firm I also qualified as an Executive Coach. I think the way my training courses are written and invite you to take part in the learning reflects this.

The online courses that I write for this page are largely aimed at developing the intrapersonal and interpersonal skills that help us to develop ourselves as professionals. I am so passionate about empowering people to learn, I am happy to be able to publish these high value online training courses for free.

I sincerely hope you find whatever course(s) you access beneficial and that it/they help you towards your academic and professional success.

Warmly

Samantha Crapnell

Director, Training for Counsellors.
