About Us

Training That Sticks

Of course, you wouldn’t want to dive right into training without knowing a bit more about us! At Learning Curve, we are a group of training and development professionals who are passionate about delivering transformative training that really sticks. That means no sitting around being talked at, no scribbling endless notes that you’ll never look at again and no boring, monotone trainers who make you want to go to sleep. Our trainers have all been carefully chosen for their fresh approach, enthusiasm and dedication to providing a unique and interactive training experience.

But because it’s such a personal journey, you might have a preference for who you work with. Or maybe you just want to know a bit more about the person you’re inviting into your business. Well, you can learn more about us below:

Colette Johnson

“Inspiring, enthusiastic and knowledgeable”

Senior trainer and business owner, Colette has been the driving force behind Learning Curve since 1993. Knowledgeable, experienced and fun loving, Colette is an incredibly motivational trainer with a truly infectious enthusiasm. Having spent many years as a coach and trainer, she is experienced in delivering bespoke training and follow up sessions on leadership and performance management, presentation skills, sales skills and personal development skills. When she’s not delivering workshops, Colette can be found singing, salsa dancing or in a quieter moment, baking cakes.
