NED AND BOARD ADVISORY

Is your business suffering due to lack of profitable growth, unclear or unfocused strategy, inadequate systems and processes, poor decision-making, or an obsolete business model? Is trust in your company’s brand declining? Are you having trouble raising finance?

You can solve these and many other problems – and put your company on the road to profitable, sustainable growth – by seeking advice from the right quarter.

INDIVIDUAL MENTORING 

Do you feel you haven’t reached your full professional potential as a board member, senior executive or business owner? Or that improving your performance could help grow your company’s revenue? 

Find out how you can deal with the roadblocks you face in pursuit of your goals, manage change better, feel more in control, and enjoy greater job satisfaction.

CAREER ENHANCEMENT

Are you standing at a career crossroads? Perhaps you’re seeking a new challenge, or greater control. Are you drawn to the idea of a plural career, or thinking about setting up your own business? Or are you facing actual or potential redundancy, and wondering how to secure your next role?

No matter what dilemma you are facing, you can get help to make the right choices and take your career to the next level.

COMPANY AND MARKET INTELLIGENCE

Are your expansion or investment plans being stymied for lack of crucial information? You can’t go ahead without knowing your target’s standing, reputation and key individuals, current strategy and goals, succession plans, values and culture – and of course their weaknesses, sensitivities and critical risk areas. 

What you need is a trusted source of elusive data, who can give you the insights that will help you reduce your risk.

SPEAKING

WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS

Are you looking to use a workshop, seminar or masterclass to fill the skills gaps in your organisation? Make sure your time, trouble and money are well spent by letting an engaging, challenging training partner run it for you.

KEYNOTES AND PRESENTATIONS

Conferences, seminars and receptions can engender positive feelings about your company – especially if you book a memorable, inspirational speaker to headline your event.

ABOUT ME

I am an independent consultant who is privileged to help both businesses and people achieve their goals – whether through non-executive directorships, strategic advice, business mentoring, career transition guidance, executive learning programmes or keynote presentations.

What enables me to offer all these services to such a high level? It’s the blend of my deep and broad experience of the corporate world, both in the UK and internationally, and my extensive network of contacts in all industry sectors.

TESTIMONIALS

I have been impressed not only by Terry’s strategic approach and depth of knowledge, but also by his very practical and hands-on way of working with us. Terry initially reviewed the business in depth, then helped us develop a robust and cohesive business development strategy, and has been helping us implement this and turn the business around since that time. He has an impressive ability to see the big picture and understand the “right things” for the business to do to grow profitably.

Terry provided valuable insight and a pragmatic approach to help achieve my next career move. His business experience complements his mentoring skills as someone who has been there and done it.

Stuart Atkinson
Director
Nulli Secundus Consulting

Terry provided short business talks on a number of occasions related to specific topics requested by the members of The Executive Association Thames Valley, of which I was chairman at the time. Terry’s talks were professionally delivered with good quality visual aids, well researched and specific to the topic requested. I would have no problem in recommending Terry as a well informed and articulate speaker confident in his subject area.
