John Lund brings over 25 years training experience to creativeintension. John was responsible for the Royal Australian Air Force’s 'Train the Trainer School' throughout the 1990s. He converted its ‘Systems Approach’ to training to ANTA’s ‘Competency Based’ Training Reform Agenda which produced the current Cert IV and Diploma courses in Training and Assessment. He also introduced a suite of courses into the Australian Defence Force, designed to gain civilian accreditation (Frontline Management) for its leadership and management courses.
John’s philosophy in training adults is very simple: adults can, and must take, responsibility for their learning. The trainer’s role is to remove any barriers that may be coming between the student and the student’s goal. Some typical barriers include: lack of confidence, time constraints, misunderstanding content, lack of direction, insufficient feedback. In short, John believes that every student is capable of success, with the appropriate support.
John has graduated hundreds of competent trainers, many who came to the course terrified at the thought of having to train someone, or speak publicly.
John is a partner in creativeintension and directs the training + development practice in the business for corporate clients and public students.
