Dr. Stephen Allen, Humber College, Canada

Stephen Allen, as an educator and administrator, is most animated when creating organisational and instructional systems that support professional development and access for all types of learners. With over 25 years’ experience as an educator and administrator, he has worked in the private and public sector on three continents and has partnered with organisations and individuals in knowledge building solutions and finding innovative and engaging techniques for supporting individuals in their learning and professional needs.

His passion is to support people while together they build new skills, competencies, insights, and ways of doing that achieve results organisationally as well as personally.
