From the stage
to the Workplace.
About Me
People have always been at the heart of my work.
Hi, I’m Callum. I started my career as a Drama Teacher, running a theatre school and helping young people develop their confidence, discover their abilities and perform. From there, I moved into the corporate BPO world, where my focus shifted to training, learning design and capability development.
While the environment changed, what I loved about the work didn’t.
I love seeing something in people that they have yet to see in themselves and helping them uncover it.
My background in theatre and performance continues to influence how I approach learning today. I believe learning should take people on a journey, create energy, encourage participation and give people the opportunity to practice, make connections and discover the learning for themselves.
Bringing creativity, curiosity and purpose to learning
How I Work
I combine creative thinking with practical, evidence-based approaches to create learning that engages people, builds capability and makes a real difference.
CREATIVE
I look for different ways to bring learning to life and make experiences memorable.
PRACTICAL
Learning needs to work in the real world, not just look good in the classroom.
CURIOUS
I ask questions, explore possibilities and I’m always willing to challenge conventional approaches.
DATA DRIVEN
I use evidence and feedback to understand whether learning is actually making a difference.
COLLABROATIVE
The best solutions come from working with people, understanding their challenges and designing with them.
HANDS-ON
I'm comfortable moving between strategy and execution, from identifying the problem to designing and delivering the solution.
Always learning, too.
Qualifications and Recognition
I believe being an effective learning professional means continuing to learning yourself. My formal qualifications span education, digital learning, workplace training and customer experience.

Different stage.
Same purpose.
Theatre will always be a part of me
Some of the work I’m most proud of happened long before I entered corporate learning. Through theatre education, I had the opportunity to work with young performers, helping them develop their confidence, skills and craft. Seeing some of those young people go on to establish professional careers in theatre and television across Australia and the United States remains incredibly special to me.
It also taught me something I’ve carried throughout my career.
People often have more potential than they realise. Sometimes they just need the opportunity, confidence and support to discover it.
