Since joining IDH in 2002, Pauline’s primary goal has been to help women develop to their full potential, and to become confident and competent leaders. She has introduced two training programmes “Women in Leadership – the Confident Leader” and “Walking With Wolves”, both of which have received widespread praise from delegates.

In recent months Pauline has become the UK Ambassador for the De Bono Foundation UK and has recently become a Certified Instructor for The 6 Thinking Hats.

Mark Buckton

Mark Buckton
Programme Director

As a former Head of Training and Development within the Police Service, Mark has extensive experience of identifying and developing learning solutions in a challenging and constantly changing environment. Coupled with many years of experience as an accomplished trainer and facilitator, he is able to build and deliver training and development packages that hit the spot, whatever that spot may be. With a clear understanding of the varying needs of learners and the complexity of the modern workplace, Mark has often been complimented on his ability to deliver solutions that not only meet the needs of an organisation, but also the often diverse needs of individuals within a training cohort.


Mark has an easy, relaxed style as a trainer and facilitator that both engages and challenges delegates with directness and humour. He believes passionately in participation as a means of learning and delegates should therefore be prepared to roll up their sleeves and become fully involved.

Mark has experience of working with the public, private and third sector and has received feedback and praise for his ability to adapt his approach to fit in with different organisational cultures. A common thread throughout, however, is his values driven approach to the development of others, that of openness, honesty, integrity and respect.

Mark has a Diploma in Training Management and has studied psychology and motivational theories. He is grounded, however, firmly in the real world and has for many years been engaged in roles where the identification of effective solutions to real time problems have been key to organisational success. He is therefore able to draw on a wide range of personal experiences dealing with people and difficult situations when building learning experiences for others. He has proven over the years his ability to motivate others in a way that enables them to shine and markedly improve their performance in the workplace.

 

TESTIMONIALS

“ It is difficult to say with certainty what a world truly based on gender equality would look like, since we are still so far from achieving it. Experience over the past decades has certainly produced evidence that a more gender-equal world would be a better world. The [UN] Secretary General Kofi Annan once said that there was no development tool more effective than the empowerment of women.”

Carolyn Hannan, Director,
Division for the Advancement of Women,

United Nations Dept of Economic & Social Affairs (www.un.org/esa)

  “An amazing two days. I came away absolutely buzzing with new ideas and a fresh view on how to tackle potential obstacles. Gaining an ILM Level 5 award gave even more credibility to what is an outstanding development programme.”   "You can achieve your goals.
You can be whatever you want to be.
Believe in yourself and, instead of asking “why”, ask “why not?”
