The Leadership Gospels

I have a background in freight, warehousing, shipping, and international trade and have resided in both the UK and in Nigeria. Since 1998 I have has been an independent mentor/coach, trainer and consultant trading under the name of Learn and Change Limited. I currently enjoy working all over the UK and on four other continents, principally in Africa and the Middle East, but also in the Far East and North/South America. Additional to undertaking training, I have been involved with one to one coaching/mentoring, consulting, writing, assessing along with examining for professional institutesí qualifications and as an external MSc examiner. 


My journey to today, whilst being an individual one, did not happen without the involvement of other people. On this journey of lifelong learning and meeting people, the original source of an idea or information may have been forgotten. If I have omitted in this book to give anyone credit they are due, I apologise and hope they will contact me so we can correct the omission in a future edition.


Special thanks are due to Dr. Bruce Mousa for his willing and valuable encouragement and support; this even included the suggestion of the book title; assistance beyond the call. I also give thanks to many other fellow trainers on the ìcircuitî for discussing ideas for this book.

To all those who had contact with me please be assured you will have contributed to my learning, growing and developing. If you ask me how, then I will tell you! Whilst thanking you all, my hope is that I have given something positive back to you. I am pleased to acknowledge that my learning still continues; indeed writing this book has undoubtedly contributed to my own learning and development.


I have made best-efforts not to include anything in this book that if used, would be injurious or cause financial loss to the user. The user is however strongly recommended before applying or using any of the contents, to check and verify for themselves, and perhaps also with their own company policy/requirements. No liability will be accepted by the author for any of the contents.


Married to the lovely Christine and with two adult cute children, Jill and James; James is married to Mairead, who is also rather cute. We are additionally the very proud grandparents of twin girls (the absolutely totally gorgeous, Megan and Molly).
