Luke Shaw
Facilitator, Coach and Business Role Player
Luke has worked with Rachel and the team for over a decade. He is a committed and passionate behavioural coach and facilitator who works with individuals and large groups and everything in between. He is hugely engaging in a training room, combining a style that is full of great empathy as well as offering insightful challenge where necessary.
Luke has over 20 years’ corporate training and role play experience. He makes training scenarios astonishingly life-like. He is driven by the pursuit of enabling people’s self-improvement and his fervent belief is that the ONLY way to embed any notion of learning is through practice, practice, practice!
Luke’s background is a rich and varied one originating in performance, journeying through, training, teaching and psychology. Despite the diverse background, the unifying theme is the people at the centre of all of them and how they can be understood better, as well as empowered to be able to facilitate their own growth. The combination of these skills and experience give him a great awareness of how we operate as individuals and particularly the limiting elements we impose on ourselves which can restrict understanding and growth.
His performance career has seen him work the length of the country from Edinburgh to Exeter via the West End. He is also a trained and practising Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, a therapy which uses Rational Behavioural Therapy (REBT) as its guiding framework, and whose central philosophy is one of self-acceptance. He regularly teaches children Acting and Speech and Language skills readying them for twice yearly LAMDA exams.
For the last 20 years Luke has worked consistently in the field of corporate training, working with over 100 different businesses within all sectors using a wide range of experiential learning techniques to enable new learning and improvement and is most at home when creating a new bespoke training solution for our next client.
