After spending her teenage years homeless, she went to university to study psychology. She has since worked operationally and strategically to champion for system change and creative operational solutions, helping the most vulnerable and marginalised have an opportunity to live their best lives. Her career led to the launch of Taye Training in 2016 with co-founder Faye Fox. Together they used their lived experiences professionally and personally to address challenges facing frontline workers, . Taye delivers specialist training and consultancy to criminal justice, social care, and charities; specifically, organisations with frontline professionals who work with complex, vulnerable, and marginalised groups. This phenomenal feedback and impact led to the creation of a new training methodology, Training 4 Influence. Training 4 Influence and our Train the Trainer Approach Our frontline services are under extreme pressure to support the most vulnerable in our society; Covid-19 and the economic crisis has compounded this for the next decade. Training delivered through the Training 4 Influence methodology builds resilience, capabilities, and confidence. To scale this, we have created our Train the Trainer approach, the qualification takes 3 months and includes personal mentoring, assignment and assessment. It supports people with lived experience to have the skills and confidence to deliver exceptional, professional training.
