Teaching
In my teaching, as am passionate about the area of entrepreneurial mindset. We all have a mindset - a way of thinking that underpins the way we act. However, our mindsets are not always entrepreneurial. We may not be particularly creative or positive. We may not feel comfortable acting when the outcomes of our actions are unclear or uncertain. We may be afraid to try, to fail or to be judged. The good news is that mindsets can shift! My ambition is to coach students to conquer their mindset, make them more entrepreneurial.听
My other teaching passion is internationalisation of small firms. Some new and small businesses have offerings that may be appealing worldwide. In my classes, students work hands-on on an international market entry plan for local and national businesses.听

- SBS recognises the increasing need to ensure accessibility and inclusion within its teaching and learning activity, particularly with regard to neurodiversity. Neurodiversity refers to the different ways a person鈥檚 brain processes information and it is thus central to learning. Neurodivergent brains are found in autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and other forms of non-neurotypical information processing.
It is estimated that up to 20% of students may be neurodiverse, including those without a formal diagnosis. To date, however, limited evidence has been collated as to how SBS specific Teaching and Learning (T&L) activities can be made neuro-inclusive.
This project aims to:
1. Identify neurodivergent learning needs in the T&L activities specific to SBS Programmes;
2. Identify barriers to neurodivergent learning, including setting-specific barriers (part of the T&L activities of SBS) and process-specific barriers (timings, breaks, interactions required, etc.);
3. Provide 鈥渂est practice鈥 on context and processes involved in SBS Programme T&L activities (including the range of formats that learning materials should be made available in - e.g. visual, text, audio, etc. - to ALL students, regardless of formal diagnosis;
4. Provide 鈥渂est practice鈥 in relation to assessment formats and contents for neuro-inclusivity, regardless of formal diagnosis;
5. Raise awareness of the needs of neurodiverse students with the T&L Directors of all SBS departments, with a view for them to implement 鈥渂est practice鈥 in their respective departments. - 01-Jan-2023 - 31-Jan-2024
