Brendan Fitzmaurice

Director of Instruction

From a background in Personnel Management with
Blue Chip Companies, Brendan has since spent more
than 20 years training, mentoring and coaching
senior business people.

Through his coaching, Brendan has improved their
personal performance, presentation skills and people
skills, resulting in breakthrough business achievements.

"The business world today is more competitive than it has ever been; customers are more demanding and less forgiving than they were in the recent past; more for less is now the new commercial reality.

In times like these, leaving the skill of your best asset to chance is not
an option, so training and development for your staff at all levels is more important than it's ever been. Yet...

Have you ever found that the highly rated and well presented training
programme that you invested in failed to produce the changes in
performance that you knew were necessary? Did your people perform
well on the training programme but fail to make improvements in their
day-to-day work? Did they acquire knowledge but not skill?

Skill development requires action: learning how to do something on
a training programme is not the same as actually doing it well and
consistently in one's daily work.

This is not a new problem, but many leaders are now finding that to
achieve permanent skill development in themselves and their teams,
an essential element which must be built into any skill development
programme is coaching."

In his spare time Brendan is an active member of The Cottontown Chorus, (Bolton Barbershop Harmony Club). They recently became the 2007 Bolton Barbershop Champions. Click on the website below to hear the Cottontown Chorus in action!...
