I relate to people of all ages. With three grown up children, eight grandchildren, two young boys. One destined to be a professional footballer with the right attitude, aptitude for learning and determination to succeed. With a twist of my life story ready to be published and a dream to turn it into a film with publishers sure to be keen. My recent diagnosis of bulbar MND will only inspire me to write another novel, the sequel to ‘I Never Told You’ but don’t write me off being a Football Agent within 5 years. A colleague once stated "Forget Rhonda Byrne, you are the Secret." Intrigued I read the first few pages of the book and swiftly realized it is the way I have approached my life for as long as I can remember.Like many I have had my fair share of disappointment and tragedy in my life, with many bumps to pride. It is how I have faced it all and bounced back that I want my young children and extended family to remember as my legacy. Above all it is important to learn from mistakes and go again, never be afraid to take a risk otherwise you will never be successful. Work wise I see myself branching away from the sharp end of our business. Having tried Influencing others to achieve via Area Management as I consistently think out of the box to get results and inspire others to achieve. I have unique idea's that regularly work or surface in various forms years down the line which prove successful and can adapt my approach to any given situation. My illness may have cut off my communication lines, but my writing flows efficiently. I have a history of developing people, many on to greater things, prefer not to list my roles and responsibilities over the years in absolute detail as I can point and make reference to successes in my career that I am proud of and ones my colleagues are amazed by and take inspiration from and remember for the rest of their lives.I believe tasks are confusing and not comparable to true development.I despise the manuals, the statements of how to manage, I look for simplicity in life. A leader gets on with people and is decisive when it matters, that is me in a nutshell. Diversity is at last being welcomed, when many have confused me by attempting to conform with the norm. I am the only Manager/Multi Site Manager in the betting industry to beat GW Plan in every position I have held for 23 straight years.My 11 year old is a Football Academy player with Cambridge United and often plays up a year and is captain leading the team by example and encouragement.
