KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • I left school the first day I could: It was a Tuesday. On the Wednesday I walked down the high street looking for a job and I started working on the Thursday and I’ve been working ever since. I was really good at calculations – I could do it faster than someone using a calculator. I worked in accountancy for a number of years in various positions and then went into auditing. I’ve had a lot of jobs and roles in a lot of companies, there was always a need in me for personal development, I never stuck with one job for more than three years.
  • I discovered a role training management and leadership and that really got me heavily into coaching. After a time I was helping people who had been made redundant to market themselves for new jobs. The last role I had was in 2011 as a partner in a firm that worked with non-profits, when I left that I gave up what I knew and went through a number of things including internet marketing, multi-level marketing, property investment, and crypto.
  • The Conscious Leadership Code is based on three premises: Self-awareness, self-expression, and self-mastery – where you respond rather than react to yourself and the stuff you carry with you through your life as well as when people talk and interact with you. What’s your intention, what do you really want?
  • There’s an old adage: Is a leader made or born? It’s both, we’re all born and we are all leaders, but we don’t all have leadership skills. With all the research done across decades, one of the things about good, effective leadership is that leaders have to be honest, congruent, able to express themselves, be compassionate. I’ve worked with over 30,000 people in my career and many people are not honest with themselves, let alone anybody else, and when they are honest, they don’t know how to express it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I got fed up of working with people who had been sent to me by their companies to be repaired rather than choosing to personally develop. I fell out of love with it, but over the last four years I’ve started to come back into it.’
‘I really want to support, help, challenge people who are stuck, who are looking to do more, be more, want more but for some reason haven’t quite manage to achieve it.’
‘We need to inspire ourselves to do the things we want to do, let alone anyone else around us or who we are working with.’
‘If I had this nine years ago I’d be in a better place, business-wise.’
