Throughout Austin's career, he has led successful multi-site service and sales teams to provide sensational experiences that delivered revenue growth and ROI. Austin has a proven track record in managing business and cultural change whilst also implementing new strategies to increase sales, improve retention and meet business objectives. During Austin's time in retail management and hospitality, he has worked in flagship and high-profile stores, leading successful teams, improving performance, increasing profit, and delivering operational change across various business areas, including store turnarounds and refurbishments.

For the past five years Austin has been in Learning and Development, latterly working as a divisional and regional training manager.

Customer testimonial

I was slightly skeptical about the online learning side of things, but it worked well, especially with the breakout rooms. Having a wide range of different courses to suit individual needs is also a great idea.

Chris Dickinson , Whitby Seafoods Limited

I found the Effective Communication Skills course helpful, it opened my eyes to how even body language can be a form of communication that may come across as negative. It has shown me I need to be more aware of how I come across to others when communicating with them.

Lauren McDowell , Wasdale - A Place to Stay

The courses that led to my Certificate of Learning have incredibly improved my awareness when I communicate with colleagues. I am now in control of what I want to deliver, and I have the tools to do it effectively.

Francesca Cecinati , Artesia Consulting

I found the course extremely useful and loved the psychology behind the different types of communication. I have been able to take this information back to my workplace and use the techniques to improve communication between myself and my team.

I.R , Daniella Draper

Mel really helped provide insight and offered points of difference that can help me in a professional setting. I enjoyed learning more about the ways body language and tone can have an impact. The eye accessing cues were also really interesting.
