Good business leaders are a powerful force in society because they have the opportunity, and responsibility, to encourage human potential. I know great leadership can be learned.Having been a successful CEO for over 25 years I have also made plenty of mistakes. I am passionate about helping others avoid these and that’s why I trained as a Business Coach. No one gave me an Instruction Manual when I became a leader so I spent years studying and applying best practice to my business. I now have a set of powerful and proven ideas which I wished someone had taught me when I first became a leader. I love sharing these and helping others become great leaders.I have coached senior leaders to some spectacular achievements, business transformations, awards, start-ups, business sales and career changes. I have run Strategy Days and Leadership Masterclasses.If you think I might be able to help you then get in touch.In more than 25 years as a Managing Director I led initiatives to grow profit, to restructure, to refine the core business offer, to improve staff engagement and team effectiveness.I am experienced in;- Retail, wholesale and manufacturing- Working for US, German and Japanese corporations as well as UK manufacturers & exporters- Overseeing global product launches and significant brand growth- Turnarounds, from loss to profit, restructures, relocations, startups and sales of companies- Improving strategic focus and team engagement- Education projects that have transformed engagement in schools- Charity founder and Trustee- Supporting the success of artists as diverse as Paul McCartney, Rick Wakeman, Brian May, Keith Emerson and Gary Barlow- living and working in USA, Germany, Australia and New ZealandI have been a;- Guest speaker at Henley Management College, Warwick Business School and Berklee College of Music- Served as President of the Industry Trade Association, the MIA- Founding member of the charity Music for All.- Business Mentor for the Princes Trust- "Employer Of The Year" award winner- Fellow of The Institution of Engineering and Technology- Freeman of the City of LondonI am an enthusiastic piano and guitar player, mountain biker and more recently baker, sculptor and bell ringer!
