About Ian Colley (me)

I have over thirty years full time professional practice as a facilitator. And since 2005 I have been teaching other professionals these skills, starting at the University of Technology, Sydney and then on site with numerous organisations. This experience has now been compressed into a short training program that addresses the fundamentals of facilitation.

This is now my core business. And my passion.

For face-to-face courses, I am based in Sydney and Kiama NSW, but travel throughout Australia and New Zealand.
