"Over the last six years, Clare has designed innovative learning solutions for Les Mills International, helping us to transform our learning culture and take it to the next level. 

From redesigning our Initial Training Modules through to helping to design and implement our Advanced Training in both online and face-to-face versions, Clare has designed learning solutions that have reflected our company's culture and created growth in all of us. 

Clare has also created and implemented easy-to-apply training tools to enhance our global training team, enabling them to become better trainers and coaches that can nurture and support any learning journey. 

Throughout the process she has been a pleasure to work with - highly collaborative, listening and embracing of our unique culture, while respectfully challenging our outdated learning models. 

I highly recommend Clare."

Parenting Place worked with Horrobin Learning to update our Space facilitator training programme including hybrid delivery of online and in-person learning, with self-guided and facilitated components. Clare’s thorough process of information gathering, and excellent distilling of content into a considered framework, helped us achieve a great project outcome. We’ve had awesome feedback from the team delivering the trainings, who felt supported and heard throughout the development phases, and the move to online delivery has been very well-received.

Clare is well-researched, a fantastic communicator and generous with her expertise – she took the time to get to know us, understand our needs and delivered beyond expectations. Highly recommend Clare for L&D work, and upskilling to lead great workshops, trainings and general presenting expertise. And some great laughs.

“Since the beginning of 2021, Clare Horrobin has been a key part of our team in redesigning and implementing Beca’s Amplify Delivery learning and development framework and programmers. Clare has provided consultation on each key stage of the project, initially helping us to define the project scope and overall framework structure. A large part of her focus was to advise on how best-practice learning philosophies and trends could be applied to meet our learning objectives in an engaging, accessible, and sustainable manner. This included a transition to designing workshops for online facilitation, and to spacing out the learning to provide better integration and opportunities for participants to apply their learning. From there, Clare has been a member of each Agile topic team, providing guidance on instructional design, facilitation and on-going implementation. Clare’s vibrant and welcoming personality has helped each team to gel and perform well by establishing a fun, trusting, and energetic culture.  Her regular online facilitation sessions have seen a significant increase in our facilitators' confidence and competence in facilitating online, creating a better balance of delivering great content alongside effective engagement that sustains their audience’s participation. Throughout this process, she has become a trusted advisor to many of us, helping us all to create and cement learning throughout our programmers.”

"A sincere thank you for your wonderful facilitation of our Board retreat session on Conflict Resolution and Communication. It was a pleasure to work with you and I know that myself and well as our Board and ED garnered many salient key points and messages to keep in our 'tool box'.
We really enjoyed the session and I know that this was no easy feat given that we were all in the room and you were a Tasman away, but you kept us engaged and it was like you were there with us in the room."

"If you want your workshop objectives and/or learning solutions to really hit home, then Clare is your secret weapon. Clare’s workshop/learning course designs are unique, edgy, super enjoyable and the learning lands where it’s supposed to, regardless of what industry you are in. Clare has helped me with my facilitating and presenting skills to ensure that my audience doesn’t fall asleep, which is rather important! I will think up any excuse to utilise Clare’s expertise as not only is she super plugged into what works (and what doesn’t) she is super cool to hang with. Clare speaks from the heart, is passionate about learning and helping people on their developmental journeys and is quite simply one of the nicest people on our planet."

"Thanks to Clare Horrobin who delivered a fantastic workshop to our sales and management team on Becoming a Sales Educator. During this half day session, our team learned key tools to help educate our clients better about our products, and also how we can help educate each other along the way! These valuable tools have allowed us to become even better at what we do and take our customer experience to an even greater level. In the workshop, Clare created a level of warmth and laughter that had everyone joining in and learning along the way. Thanks Clare!"

"Over the past six years, Clare has helped Les Mills International to design world-class learning solutions that are now delivered to over 70,000 participants a year in up to 80 countries. These solutions reflect our culture and the importance of a learning culture that is in line with being global leaders in the fitness industry. 

Clare has an ability no matter what the group size, to bring people together and learn in a safe and enjoyable way. Whether it’s an online meeting with our global training managers or in front of 600 of our international trainers, she can connect with people quickly and is continuously committed to bringing out the best in people.

During the implementation of our various projects, Clare continuously showed an inept ability to build trust with the senior leads, project stakeholders and our international teams.  This trust continuously gave Clare the right insight into what  Les Mills required, and also helped the project to be implemented. Clare has a gift of being able to connect with anyone, and helping all of us to work even more effectively in our teams."

"Clare’s coaching, and tips ‘n’ tricks were invaluable to get me jump started on my facilitation journey. Her bubbly personality made me comfortable and relaxed. She was straight to the point in what I needed to do to connect with my audience and it worked a treat. I got fantastic feedback from the session I hosted for 100 people. I can’t thank her enough!"

"In 2019, Clare presented Advancing our Instructors, Advancing Our Learning Culture at the HR and L&D Innovation and Tech Fest in Auckland, New Zealand. Clare delivered an exceptional and engaging presentation, educating her peers on her top three lessons she learned as a learning professional on what to do when you’re wanting to take your learning culture to the next level. Clare knows how to captivate her audience while making sure the key messages get across."

"I would highly recommend any training or learning solution that Clare is involved with.  I cannot thank her enough for what she has done for our Chinese training team who deliver training to our base of 5000 Instructors throughout China.

Not only was she integral in the development of the Advanced Training course content, she was instrumental in training the Chinese team, and planning our launch to our market. Clare gave us guidance on trainer selection, delivering online classrooms, facilitating e-coaching sessions through to support and direction for lead trainers, ongoing trainer training, and comprehensive roll-out plans. The team always felt cared and supported by Clare.

As a result, our Chinese training team were equipped to implement Advanced Training with the right tools to feel competent and confident in delivering this fantastic product. It has been remarkable to see how our trainers have had enormous personal development, and ultimately impacted our instructors develop them into fitness leaders and achieving their own greatness."
