Testimonials and client liasion

I have known Dr. Michelle Hunter in her capacity as Assistant Professor and Head of Business Psychology at Heriot-Watt University, Dubai campus, where I pursued my Masters in Business Psychology. As our advisor, Dr. Hunter was engaging and insightful - she employed an evidence-based approach and brought together learnings from literature as well as real-world experiences. She imparted to us, her infectious passion for the field and her sense of discipline and structure at work. Dr.Hunter is a fascinating speaker but also an avid mentor, taking her wards under her wings and with a coaching approach, helping them see their potential as well as their mental blocks. I have also visited her Assessment Centre training program and was impressed with her professionalism and mastery over real-world Business Psychology practices. What stands out most about Dr. Hunter is that she is able to look ahead of the curve and makes it a point to do so at all times. For example, our curriculum did not involve Assessment and Development centers, which in the UAE market, would have been a primary career avenue for a considerable number of us. Dr. Hunter hosted an Assessment Centre workshop and brought in an assessor from the industry to speak with us. In my practice as an assessor, assessment centre manager and occupational coach thereafter, I can say for certain, that I have carried with me, everything she has taught me about the subject but also about one's attitude towards work, service provision and towards the Science of Business Psychology.
