We are seeking a delivery-ready Learning & Development Consultant with proven Difficult Conversations capability for assignments connected to Astana, Kazakhstan, and broader Asia.

Brief Overview

This scheduled role is suited to a delivery-focused consultant with hands-on Difficult Conversations credibility and experience working with managers, team leads, and client-facing professionals in Astana, Kazakhstan, and across Asia. The work centres on practical application, learner confidence, and helping clients improve communication quality, influence, and stakeholder alignment in the workplace.

The work is likely to involve practical corporate learning, facilitation, and knowledge transfer rather than purely theoretical instruction. We are prioritising trainers who can keep sessions structured, commercially relevant, and aligned with the client brief.

Core Responsibilities

• Coordinate effectively with client stakeholders and internal contacts on objectives, timelines, and expected learner outcomes.
• Translate complex ideas into practical guidance, examples, and decision-making frameworks that participants can use in the workplace.
• Support participants with examples, clarifications, and implementation guidance that reduce the gap between theory and day-to-day application.
• Refine materials where needed so the programme remains current, usable, and appropriate for the target audience.
• Adapt delivery to the client brief, participant seniority, and the sector context without losing clarity or pace.

Candidate Background

• Strong communication and facilitation skills, including the ability to explain complex material in a clear and applied way.
• Confidence working with client stakeholders and adjusting delivery to different business contexts, sectors, and learner groups.
• Previous experience delivering training, workshops, facilitation, coaching, or advisory work for professional audiences.
• Proven subject-matter credibility in Difficult Conversations with evidence of practical business or corporate application.
• Availability for project-based work linked to Astana, Kazakhstan, and wider Asia where relevant.

Clear subject-matter credibility in Difficult Conversations; prior exposure to multinational or enterprise audiences; excellent facilitation, coaching instincts, and the ability to use examples, role-play, and feedback effectively; confident supporting learners with practical examples, tools, and Q&A.

Best suited to professionals with backgrounds in business communication, presentation, facilitation, or stakeholder management programmes, ideally with experience working with multinational clients or enterprise teams in Asia.

Expression of Interest

The expected delivery mode for this brief is In-Person, and the role should be approached as a Consulting requirement.
