Gerard Hargreaves

I have spent the past 20 years specialising in training and development. As a presenter and consultant I have worked with international organisations in the public and private sectors.

During 11 years with a firm of international management consultants I managed subsidiary businesses and consultancy teams and was responsible for product development and marketing.

In 1998 I was appointed as Head of The Centre for Director Development at the Institute of Directors . The Department is the leading authority on director training in the UK .

I have appeared on BBC television and radio. I am the co-author of "Making Time” and the author of "Stress Management" . My most recent book is ‘Managing in the Email Office'.

I am now a training and development consultant and executive coach helping individuals and organisations achieve maximum performance and effectiveness.

Recent projects have included: one-to-one executive coaching and mentoring programmes for directors and senior executives at the IoD; an international coaching programme in Eastern and Central Europe ; a Handling Change programme for a City organisation and Inspirational Leadership intervention for a major retail business.
