Alistair designs and delivers creative leadership sessions and culture change programmes, using practical tools and techniques that help organisations, teams, and individuals – from apprentices to graduates to middle management to CEO’s – to communicate and work better together. He has significant experience working with senior leaders including C-Suite for various blue-chip companies across a range of industries worldwide. He’s fascinated by the specifics of language and behaviour; how what we say and do leads to an outcome, and how if we change what we say and do, it can lead to a very different outcome. He works with clear objectives, tangible outcomes and lasting commitments, leading to impactful behavioural and cultural change.

Professional background

Alistair’s first role after university was in I.T. sales. Upon becoming the manager and overseeing a team of 20, he drove sustained growth and achieved £2 million revenue by year 3. He then became the first external hire of a renewable energy start-up, growing their userbase by exceeding aggressive sales targets of their flagship product. His varied career saw him subsequently train and work as a professional actor, presenter and screenwriter. His subsequent move into learning and development allowed him to combine his passion for understanding human behaviour by creating training programmes focused on making people more effective.
