DIPLOMA IN

LEADERSHIP AND

ELITE PERFORMACEMy learning journey has been long and varied.  I have visited and learnt from organisations such

as NASA, Westpoint, Nike and Adidas to name but a few. I have engaged with and developed

alongside people such as Sir Alex Ferguson and Nelson Mandela. Working with successful

people from organisations such as Tag Heuer, Google, Gulf Oil, AON, and Chevrolet has given

me a unique insight into what is needed to perform at the highest levels on business.

My career has taken me across theglobe, to all of the world's majorsporting events, to governing bodies,to governments and major corporateinitiatives.  Education never stops. Tobe as successful as you possibly can beyou need to run the hard miles, gatherthe evidence, make some tough calls,sometimes take a risk but be firm andassured in what you are doing. We areall leaders, and whether that is of agroup or yourself, with that attitude,you will be amazed at what is possibleand where it may take you.
