We're a team of positive deviants, who love creating dynamic learning experiences.
Although we're a small group, our aim is to have a huge impact on how people think and communicate. We believe positive psychology is a force for tremendous change. That's why we embed it into everything we do. Here's who you're working with when you learn with Eleanor Shakiba.
Eleanor
Positive deviance trainer
Eleanor is a trainer and coach, with a passion for unleashing the power of positive deviance in talented people. Her core strength is creativity, which she expresses in the training room through storytelling and visual design. When she's not working, Eleanor loves taking photos, writing and learning new things. Overall, she's never far from a training room - either as the facilitator or a group participant.

Logistics dynamo
With experience as a production coordinator and client services manager, Mariel has a serious talent for making things happen. From helping you book into training or coaching, to arranging corporate workshop logistics, she ensures everything runs smoothly and Eleanor turns up in the right place.

John Rei
Tech wizard
John Rei works his digital magic to make sure your online course runs smoothly. With more than 10 years of tech experience, he manages Eleanor's websites and tech issues. When not busy working, John Rei indulges in his two favorite things: film making and music.
Faye
Instructional Designer
Faye uses her instructional design and graphic design experience to help Eleanor craft dynamic training materials. She also edits videos so you can enjoy small nuggets of inspiration from Eleanor. Faye has previously worked in corporate training as a facilitator, coach, and instructional designer. These days, she enjoys the flexibility of working remotely from home. On weekends, she spends her time freediving and happily working independently an introvert.
