Corrina Cross

Founder & Lead Facilitator

Corrina ran her own marketing business in Dubai for a decade, before following her passion and moving into Learning & Development full-time.

During her time as business owner, she learnt how to be a leader and to coach and develop her own staff. This experience has helped her to bring real life examples into the training room.

Corrina has delivered workshops in Leadership and Management Development globally – both face-to-face and virtually – for clients such as Unilever, Zurich Insurance, Deutsche Bank, The Foreign & Commonwealth Office, FGB, FAB, Atlas Copco, Coty and L’Oréal.

Her core strength is in helping managers and leaders to develop ‘people skills’. Organisations generally promote employees based on their technical skills, which creates a challenge over time as those employees are expected to manage teams that grow in size. Companies such as L’Oréal, Atlas Copco and numerous others call on Corrina to develop the people skills necessary for leaders to, not only understand themselves better, but also to understand, coach and develop their staff in order to create high performing teams.

Clients often comment that Corrina can take a seemingly complex topic and deliver it in a way that is both easy-to-understand and engaging – thus, ensuring the content is memorable and more likely to be applied. Implementation is important for Corrina. Hence, she works with her clients to put plans in place after the training sessions to demonstrate a tangible ROI.

Corrina has lived and worked in the Middle East for over 20 years. Her interpersonal sensitivity allows her to connect with everyone she works with – regardless of nationality, age or status.
