Special Encore Show: How Can I Become an Agent for Change? – With guest Stuart Pickles

Are you considering the disruption in the world right now and wondering how you can contribute to meaningful change?

My guest Stuart Pickles has been a much-admired client and friend for almost a decade. Stuart created a very successful coaching practice with a core premise of consistently increasing the level of meaningful contribution he makes to the world. With this proactive approach, Stuart has become an inspirational agent for change. Today, he is increasingly active in the coaching and leadership of environmental sustainability, playing a leadership role in the Climate Coaching Alliance (www.climatecoachingalliance.org) and as a non-exec of Sarsen Light (www.sarsen.com), delivered projects across the globe with Leaders Quest (leadersquest.org).

With his own company Aim Higher Leadership (www.aimhigherleadership.com) he is undertaking pioneering sustainable leadership development programmes with companies including Laing O’Rourke Construction. He also writes and speaks on social and environmental activism and is co-founder of a movement and charity (Winchcombe Green Town) accelerating change in his local community.

Join us for this Special Encore show as we learn from Stuart’s inspiring approach and consider how you too can become an agent for change.

I recently shared a stage with Chris, speaking at a Business Growth Conference in Mayfair, London.Chris had a tough job as the final speaker at the end of the afternoon, following a series of speeches from highly experienced conference speakers.The organisers were delighted with Chris – he did a splendid job reminding the audience that they only had themselves to blame if they left that conference and failed to take appropriate action. Using humour and pathos, Chris engaged with the audience and left everyone feeling upbeat and raring to go at the end of the day. I highly commend Chris to you as a speaker.
