I have led business turnarounds, startups, and business closures for most of my career! Perhaps my life-long reluctance to duck a challenge has resulted in being tasked with solving the most challenging problems! I learnt Leadership by learning from other Leaders.

The many challenges included dramatically transforming working practices and entering new markets effectively and quickly. These turnarounds were achieved by leading the change, quickly communicating that the status quo would not get us there - and that change wasn't just coming - it was already underway! 

Leadership makes an essential and lasting impact on people's lives, and knowing that the vast majority want you to succeed in your Leadership is vital. Whether your task is to transform an organisation, start a new business or get your product faster and cheaper - it is not easy. Having an experienced Mentor has become an essential part of the Leader's route to success.

​

Leadership is mostly about placing your people at the centre of change and taking responsibility for them. A good Mentor will, above else, have a track record of doing exactly that. If you ask successful people what they get from seeing others succeed - you will find out why they enjoy Mentoring talented people! If you want to achieve in any walk of life, having a Mentor with such experience is invaluable and increasingly necessary.
