Giuseppe Perrone

Hello there!

I am an instructional designer for the United Nations that wants to support others in their journey as educators and, more generally, as communicators. I'm also up to support training managers or corporate professionals, but I believe this is going more in the direction of a consulting role.

Early background: I have been a hacker since I was 12 years old, got caught at 13 and understood I could do better with my knowledge. Participated in two Anonymous campaigns while trying to teach people how to be safer online. When I joined the University as an IT student I felt I wasn't learning much so I moved to professional gaming, becoming 1st in Italy and 6th in Europe in the Call of Duty 4 "1 vs. 1 Search and Destroy" ladder. After that, I joined a non-profit NGO where I learned my passion for delivering training sessions.

Recent history: I have now spent 9 years delivering soft skills training sessions and honing my instructional design skills, I am a Chartered Member of the CIPD and have obtained a Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Strategic Learning and Development. I worked for some of the most recognised brands and I am currently supporting the training arm of the United Nations with my experience.

Why mentoring? It's a mix of reasons, first, I love to see people grow and have an impact on that, my whole purpose is to help individuals reach their potential, also, it is something I have always done in my NGO, and now I want to try doing it in a broader setting, sharing my expertise with young individuals in search of a tighter grip on learning and development outside my current network. It is also a great way to meet new people and hone my mentoring skills!

Outside instructional design: I have been writing short novels for 17 years, and I'm trying to convince AI to teach me how to play guitar. I love experimenting with tech and validating learning theories (not really outside of ID, wops)!
