Highly experienced Professional Leadership and Management Coach
Specialist Sales and Sales Leadership Capability and Enablement Coach, Trainer and Facilitator
Since 2009 I have been working on assignment across the Asia-Pacific Region – leading, designing and delivering enablement and capability improvement projects for a multitude of organisations across the globe. My work has comprised of overlapping engagements typically lasting between one and three years. I am usually sponsored by the CEO (or similar) to take responsibility for building the next generation of leaders, managers, and customer-facing professionals within the company in support of its strategic ambitions. I have worked with companies of all sizes across all industries.
In addition to being a highly skilled and qualified coach and trainer and facilitator, I have significant experience in designing and implementing major learning and development programmes, delivering state-of-the-art learning solutions, and using multiple delivery methods to support capability and developmental outcomes at all levels.
Martin Percival, HR Director, Stepstone Solutions: “I have worked with Martin on a variety of assignments with both my current company and my previous organization. Martin has carried out a wide range of development activities for people based across the whole of Europe plus Asia Pacific during this period. Martin is very down to earth and tells it, as he sees it. He is prepared to take on board some very challenging projects that other development professionals might shy away from. His approach is to be very pragmatic and honest. He supports the development of staff using methodologies that really do work in your day to day working life, and can make a big difference, not only to the people themselves, but often, more importantly, their teams. Martin is a great sounding board, and he works well in an international context. He has a very broad background and will make a major difference in any organization.”
