Colin specialises in adding value to businesses.

Colin has many interests. He has recently taught leadership on Edinburgh Napier University course and believes that quality leadership skills are a prerequisite for business success. He also believes that managers should prossess a healthy understanding of leadership. He does not believe in sales coercion, this often leads to ‘buyer’s remorse’ or a rejection of the leader’s vision. Therefore the best form of influence (or sales) is when the individual convinces themself. All we can do is create the right conditions! This can be achieved in a number of ways, sometimes pysical sometimes through conversation.  Colin’s thesis involved the practical application of Tranasactional Analsys (a theory of communication) to the employee/leader relationship. He also firmly believes that one-off courses have limited value in developing effective changes in habit. The key to success is KASH, (Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Habit).
