  • Our trainer

    Brian Coffman was born in Texas, grew up in the UK, back to Texas (a few years in Canada and Australia added for good measure) and then back to the UK. His life has seen frequent change and varying scenery, personally and professionally, and it gives him great pleasure to share this experience with his clients.

    People are at the heart of everything he does and how he ticks. Career wise, he enjoyed success as a leader in executive search businesses, managing high-performing teams of extremely bright, highly motivated recruiters. Being in professional services meant he always kept a keen eye on clients, making the balance of internal and external relationships crucial.

    He also worked in Operations leadership, and earlier in his career as an HR professional.

    Leadership, search, candidates, clients and HR. You need to enjoy building relationships with people if you’re going to thrive, (survive?!), in these settings.

    He believe the key to success in building relationships and leading people is great attitude. A great attitude is infectious, powerful, inspiring. Whatever your skills and knowledge level, choose great attitude and you’ll find yourself surrounded by amazing people doing amazing things.

    Brian would love to help you harness great attitude to improve your leadership qualities and build inspiring cultures.
