2010s: Driving Global Digital Transformations
During this decade, I traveled the world working with governments and software providers to implement new revenue, customs, and transport management systems. My role involved training testing teams, users, managers, and key stakeholders, as well as helping government members and the public adapt to these new systems. I also trained trainers, empowering them to spread knowledge within their communities.
I also worked with New Zealand's central government, including training the ministry Worksafe, the Internal Revenue Department and the Reserve Bank - pivotal in ensuring the success of their new workplace systems.
⭐️ Highlight:
Helping governments around the world to realise the vision they have for their economies and aiding them to bridge the gap between technology providers, their workforce, and the public, and enabling them to navigate complex digital transformations.
My work helped them to generate sustainable public revenue to fund essential infrastructure, growth and prosperity for millions of people.
2000s: Becoming a Microsoft Authority
In the 2000s, I became a Microsoft Certified Trainer, Microsoft Master Instructor, and Microsoft Master Specialist in Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Visio, Access and Project.
I was consistently the highest-rated trainer for New Horizons Computer Training Centers, a global leader in IT training. I worked with them to train their clients and train their trainers.
By this time, I had trained individuals from nearly every industry, from miners working underground to executives in skyscrapers.
⭐️ Highlight
Training Microsoft executives on the new version of Microsoft Office, and guiding government and military officials in mastering their technology.
1990s: Mission Begins
My journey began in the 1990s with a mission to help the world harness technology. At just 16, I became the highest-rated trainer for CompuServe, a leading computer training provider in Harare, Zimbabwe, offering industry-leading IT training to the public in a thriving, bustling city.
Became a Microsoft Certified Sales Specialist and trained and coached others to attain Microsoft technical certifications.
⭐️ Highlight
Earning the title of highest-rated trainer at the age of 16, setting the stage for a career dedicated to transforming how people interact with technology.
