Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I run leadership development programmes for CEOs, directors and senior managers that are usually experiencing stress, conflict or poor performance – often all 3!
I’ve only written one book based on my experiences as a leader and those of my clients
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Broken CEO – the name comes from the feeling that we all get sooner or later, that we are broken in some way – there’s something not right.
I explain that this is a feeling and not a reality and we can get back to how we want to feel – fulfilled, happy and successful – by changing the way we think according to a few simple principles.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I prefer silence and always write on a laptop but will write at a desk, on a sofa and frequently on the bed, or even in it.
