"Developing International Leaders and Teams"

I am a fifty- five year old honours graduate in chemical engineering and spent eight years in both R&D and quality related positions in the chemical industry before moving into two management development.

Since running my first Young Managers Development Seminar in 1986, I have designed and facilitated over 450 seminars, workshops, forums, programmes and courses ranging from one to ten days in duration - in excess of 2000 days of "face-to-face" interventions.

I have worked at all organisational levels from junior and middle managers up to senior executives. Today I work essentially on leadership and team development interventions for international leaders and their teams.

I have a client centred, issues based approach and have (so I have been told) developed a reputation for providing clear, simple and memorable examples with which to significantly improve individual, team, managerial and organisational performance.

Based in France, where I design and facilitate programmes for a range of international clients. I have intervened on management programmes in Denmark, Greece, Germany and Spain as well as all over the UK and France and have developed a network of highly experienced international consultants.

I am a member of the Institute for Outdoor Learning (I am an Accredited Practitioner - APIOL) and the European Institute for Outdoor Adventure Education and Experiential Learning (EOE). I work in both English and French and have had a number of management development related articles published in both French and British magazines. I am an accredited user of Insights, ILM72 & MTQ4 and have been trained in the use of MBTI. I am also familiar with a wide range of personality and leadership inventories such as the Belbin team role inventory, the Kouzes and Posner LPI and Hofstede’s CWQ.
