Reflecting on my +40 years career I’ve been extraordinarily blessed to have met, worked with and learned from some of the very best business people. My very first real success in Dale Carnegie Sales was meeting Jack Tordoff, a very successful rally driver, with just one small Vauxhall Dealership. Jack realised that his success in Rallying could be great for his business by accepting the many invitations to speak at Motoring Clubs. However he had a great fear of Public Speaking! Once he realised that could be quickly and easily overcome he continued to enrol many more of his people as he developed the wonderful JCT Group of DealershipsPhilip Duxbury Managing Director of Magnet Joinery, already a devotee of Dale Carnegie, relished How to Win Friends, had the vision, but was struggling with the reality of making a business shift from Trade to Retail. Working together we developed, over four years, more than 1,500 staff, resulting in revenues soaring from £1.8m per week to £2.7m per wk. Ånd so it has continued with Michael Smyth, serial successful founder of RRG Group, EVC, eMac, and Swansway Group today. Andrew Kluge Founder Supercover/Cosatto, Dale Winfield Founder Winfields Superstores, Lorne Entwistle Founder of Garic & Cross Plant, Aidan Minogue Founder/CEO Circle Leasing, Philip Cort Founder of Sleepmasters and Chairman of DRL to become ao.com, continuing with Founder John Roberts, COO/CEO Steve Caunce and many, many more.I’ve been personally responsible for the development of over 35,000 people. I’ve been able to impart some meaningful insights and, many times, guidance that has proved pivotal and continued to shape my clients’ lives for many years. Rather than offering a quick-fix or easy alternative, I look to have my clients discover new mindsets, perspectives, and approaches. Many times I’m amazed by their brilliant adaptation and application, taking the ideas to great, new and wonderful successes.Since passing on my Dale Carnegie leadership responsibilities in 2008, I’ve honed in on my focus of truly enhancing businesses . Instead of large-scale management and oversight, I now work personally and very closely, with a select few clients, empowering them to produce outstanding results across their teams and organisations. I look to forge long-lasting, highly productive relationships that outlast the time we spend working together. Nothing makes me happier than when clients, over time, become close, personal friends.History proves I work best with Ambitious, Unfulfilled Business Founders.
