More, please……Damian’s Survival Guide to Change workshop left our leaders demanding more. Insightful, innovative and practical, Damian not only provided us with food for thought, his session has served as a catalyst for lasting behavioural change, crucial for Essex’s ambitious transformation programme and in engaging our people on the journey.

Damian has a really rich experience across many sectors. His involvement with leading sporting organisations provides an insight, outside of the normal business environment, that challenges the way that individuals approach change and deliver winning results through the team. Damian always scores highly in feedback. People will leave these sessions really challenging themselves on what they need to do differently to deliver success. His communication of the key points is enhanced by the use of many different media.
