I’ve made the development of inspiring leaders my professional goal.

I’ve been where you are, many times – leading a marketing communications business from almost nothing to 120 staff and national recognition; directing business/community action teams; and chairing many other groups, large and small. See more

I had to learn the skill of leadership the hard way, “on the job”. I’ve known things had to change, puzzled over which new direction to take and stumbled towards the future.

Finally I discovered a critical friend, someone with wider experience, who gave me the space to clarify my thinking, untarnished by day-to-day stuff. He helped me articulate that inspiring vision/purpose/goal – call it what you like – and to identify the future leaders among my colleagues. Invaluable support.

I’ve observed so many leaders at close quarters, in so many sectors, that I know what works, the signs to look for, and what doesn’t.

I’ve taught leadership up to MBA level, coached and mentored senior executives, emerging leaders, both here and overseas.

Over the years, I’ve worked with clients large and small, from a small Somerset engineering firm, to an ambitious Bristol-based digital marketing consultancy, an inventor, a to multi-national companies like Honda, WH Smith Travel, Nutricia, Danone and JLT.

I’m one of a small, hand-picked group of Critical Friends accredited by Exeter University’s Centre for Leadership Studies and their Exeter Leadership Partners programme.

Oh yes … I’m also an author, with three successful thrillers to my name. Readers find them scary but don’t let that worry you.
