Forward thinking L&D Performance Consultancy solving people, culture and performance problems.

Welcome to The Spark

We believe businesses thrive when they grow with their people, not at their expense.

Your business strategy won’t deliver itself. Your people do it, and they’re probably your biggest investment. To achieve sustainable success, they need the right tools, skills, mindset, and information to perform at their best.

When you invest in people, you want it to count. You need a seamless experience, real impact, and measurable outcomes.

That’s where we come in.

At The Spark, we take an innovative, collaborative approach, challenging conventional thinking to unlock potential and drive lasting success, however you define it.

We partner with you to close capability gaps, remove friction, and overcome barriers to high performance. Our bespoke, agile solutions are designed to upskill, reskill, build capability and empower your people, fuelling both their growth and your business success.

I’m Anne-Marie, it’s great to meet you

I founded The Spark because I’m passionate about doing L&D differently.

With over 20 years of experience helping businesses, teams, and leaders build the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed for success, I’ve learned how to get to the root of performance challenges, and what really works to solve them.

Impactful L&D isn’t just about training. It’s about creating an environment where people can do their best work by removing barriers, being clear about what success looks like, and equipping them with the right tools. It’s a blend of digital solutions, meaningful conversations, and performance support, designed to be scalable, flexible, and quick to deliver. Most importantly, they need to work.

As an innovative L&D and performance specialist, agile practitioner, and product-focused thinker, I put creativity, innovation, and agility at the heart of everything I do.

These are our core spark services, a starting point. They can be tailored, combined or expanded to fit your unique needs.
