Guest Speakers

David Clutterbuck
David Clutterbuck is one of the early pioneers of developmental coaching and mentoring and co-founder of the European Mentoring & Coaching Council. Author of more than 70 books, including the first evidence-based titles on coaching culture and team coaching, he is visiting professor at four business schools. He leads a global network of specialist mentoring and coaching training consultants, Coaching and Mentoring International. 

Myles Downey
Myles’s driving interest is to help people leverage their innate abilities and potential so they can be successful for themselves and for the organisation in which they work. A writer, speaker and consultant with interest in performance, potential and leadership, his core skill is coaching, a discipline he has been practising more than 40 years.

Regarded as one of the foremost Leader Performance coaches, Myles has coached senior executives and leadership teams in some of the most prestigious organisations across the globe, in most market sectors, helping them deliver significant business results.

He was the Founder of The School of Coaching in 1996, the first institution in Europe to focus solely on the development of coaching skills for coaches, managers and leaders. The first choice for many, the School attracted clients from all over Europe and often further afield.

In 2017 Myles was invited to work with the New Zealand’s Premier Rugby coaches, an engagement which led to an extended program with the senior coaches to the Men’s English National rugby squad.
Myles has been a speaker at many leadership conferences, including the BBC’s Conference for its top 400 senior executives, the McKinsey Global Partners Conference in Singapore and the ICF Global Conference in Malmo, to name a few.

In additional to Effective Modern Coaching Myles has published ‘Enabling Genius – a mindset for success in the 21 st Century’ and ‘The Enabling Manager – how to get the best out of your team’
After 33 years living in London, Myles now lives in Norfolk, England. He was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1959. Myles plays for Norfolk Veterans Tennis team and competes occasionally on the ITF Masters Tour.

This event will be followed by peer-to-peer networking reception until 8pm.
