Businessman, designer, artist, facilitator, coach and motivational speaker are just some of the accusations levelled at me over the years!
Eclectic as it may seem, it all adds up to a lot of experiences that are very closely linked. Everything I do works on three simple principles:-
1970's
- Portrait painter and art college
- Deluded rock star
1980's
- Advertising lackey
- Designer - getting a bit of respect
- First time businessman - made money, spent more - great education
- Rookie MD within a PLC - more education
- Successful businessman - several companies
1990's
- Sabbatical - re-introduction to my kids
- Never say never... another business
- Brand consultant - on my own and loving it!
- Non-exec stuff - same old stories!
2000
- Speaker on any stage - brand, painting the lot!
- Brand + internal brand - making a real difference
- Mentor and coach - grey hair and a bit of a belly!
- Creativity, innovation and facilitation
2010 ... the book!
