Hello im Daniel 😀On the 8th June 2017, aged 31, I lost everything, was declared bankrupt after starting and growing companies since aged 19, and was sleeping on my mums side room floor with nothing left.BUT Fast froward to May 6th 2021 I was elected Leader of Southampton City Council, leading a city of 260,000 people, a budget of approximately £1billion and championing the growth of Southampton on a global scale with successful partners and global companies. The point of the story ? LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT Our duty, commitment and responsibility is to keep committed to our dreams, pick ourselves up and ask 'how can I use my challenges, failures and skills to serve others?'That's some of my journey so far, and there's so much more to come, read below if you want to know what's next... 😉I have a keen interest in philosophy, politics, economics, the universe & "growth" . I love to travel, meet new people and learn about new ideas. I enjoy great food, beautiful buildings and cities, as well as reading, yoga 🧘, & running/gym 🏃‍♂️ 👍. Generally anything relating to human behaviour fascinates and intrigues me! I am a growth centred leader growing teams to achieve their mission across the private & public sectors. Starting and scaling companies, leading a city & supporting a region to grow, I bring hands on experience of failure, success and how to bring teams together to achieve. I am a Chairman, CEO, or advisor to ambitious companies to support their growth ambitions operating on an interim or permanent/long term basis. If you have a “people challenge” in your organisation, please feel free to message me & let’s see if I can helpBest wishes Daniel
