James Longhurst is a Content Director at The Media Leader UK. He possess expertise in marketing, digital media, strategy, corporate communications, social media and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I can't recommend James highly enough as an advisor on business strategy. Across 10 mentoring sessions, he helped us put together a bespoke growth plan across all areas of our business, from marketing and pitching to organisational structure and hiring talent. As well as bringing a wealth of experience, ideas and enthusiasm, James asks thoughtful questions that help us develop and refine our thinking. He's also a lovely person to work with!" and "I have been receiving mentoring from James since September this year. As someone who is relatively new to professional mentoring and leadership development I have found James' insight and support an excellent resource. I had no idea what to expect from the sessions, but James has surpassed my expectation in every way. James has a real aptitude for listening and understanding your business, and your normal workflow, he is able to ask questions that prompt you to self-reflect on things you might not have considered to be a pain point, or something that could be changed or improved. During my time with James our business, especially my department, was going through a lot of growth and change. I found the timing of my mentoring and James' leadership really instrumental in my ability to lead my team through those changes in a way that felt more structured than times before. James is able to transfer his experience and knowledge to your business and your situation in a friendly, accessible and positive way. I always leave our sessions feeling like I have learned something, and have some action points, even if I started the session with doubts about what talking points I could bring to lead to a valuable discussion. James is great at driving discussion and referencing back to past sessions and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. I hope we might be able to work together again some time in the future."
