I hate motivational speakers
I used to be a motivational speaker...
I'm the 'anti-motivational speaker' because I think most of the stuff that motivational speakers talk is a load of old twaddle. Especially as you get over 40. Most of us have 'been there and done it' and don't want to be told to set goals, don't stop till you get there and fake it till you make it! I also believe the the subject of Leadership is over complicated. There is too much talk and not enough action. There is too much jargon and too many theoretical academic models that nobody can remember. I used to teach them so I know. Over 20 years of working in the Leadership arena and extensive research on the topic, I think once over 40 we need a new way of going about life so I have whittled Leadership down to six principles for the stressed out over 40's. Looking at where we are now as a society, most of the ideas around Leadership are outdated and I want to challenge that.
Using Golf to learn business and leadership skills
I'm am the Business Development Director for my partners Golf School 'The Julian Mellor Golf School'. He has a following all over the globe. Through our joint business The 1st Tee Directors Club, our mission is to unite our international business contacts with a shared interest in golf (and other sports) to network, to do business and learn from each other. We have only a handful of places available from September in our Premier Club so get in touch if you'd like to be involved with that.

At the The 1st Tee Directors Club based at Ardencote Golf Hotel and Spa, Warwickshire, we can work with your teams out in the fresh air or I can visit your conference or event as a keynote speaker. We can also run a workshop or seminar for you. Please make contact so we can discuss your requirements.
