Adrian Atkinson
He advises CEOs and senior management, drawing on 30 years experience working with a wide range of companies of all sizes, from all sectors, Adrian is an enthusiastic and inspirational coach and speaker. Following a recent corporate event one delegate commented: "Best speaker I ever met. Took complex questions and theories and made into down-to-earth solutions."
Adrian specialises in revitalising companies, ensuring that business objectives are achieved through having the right people in the right roles. This can involve developing a new vision and mission for the company, coaching and developing senior managers, creating or restoring focus on wealth creation and managing organisational culture as well as identifying and developing key people and high performance teams.
Currently retained as strategic advisor to the board of several international companies, Adrian's work has taken him as far afield as the jungles of Borneo, the streets of Jerusalem and the frozen seas of the Arctic Circle. Malcolm McClean, founder of Bearhunt recently described Adrian as speaking "in one of those soft, soothing Scots accents, so that if he were a medical doctor you would conclude that he had a good bedside manner." This combination of empathy and firmness has often been critical to the success of Adrian's projects, with well-known CEOs and business figures relying heavily on his advice and expertise.
In his book 'Leading HR - Delivering Competitive Advantage' Andrew Newall, Human Resources VP International, Jim Beam Brands Worldwide, described his experience of working with Adrian: "Over time I saw Adrian work his magic, and saw each of the directors grow."
Most of those who know, or who have heard Dr Atkinson speak, find him "inspiring", "stimulating" and "riveting", some take it just that little bit further: "I was awake most of the night thinking about your workshop - thanks for an excellent and very stimulating talk."
