Are you really reaching your true potential?
How to start a virtuous loop on business impact and self-development?
Through this podcast Holger describes coaching as a “path finding exercise“ certainly not limited to “Executives”.
You will discover Holger’s innovative approach, the Holben Sprint, a process that avoids long winded assessments, but dives instead right into your “bright spots“ to maximise your effectiveness.
The Holben Sprint method produces a radical focus on two main areas, ONE selected leadership challenge on the outside and a corresponding self-development opportunity on the inside. Together they form a virtuous loop of business impact and personal growth.
Nigel finds out from Holger what the ‘Love Zone’ is and how to bust the barriers, focus on the ‘bright spots’ and critical elements to keep the commitment high throughout the process.
This podcast is really insightful, especially if you are someone who is considering coaching, but not yet taken the leap or an senior executive that can see the benefit of this type of support for their leaders and emerging leaders.

Greg’s knowledge on commercialisation, sales effectiveness, corporate strategy, new product launches across EMEA and US markets, marketing, P&L, market development, patient centric business models are second to none.

And if that wasn’t enough, he is also a key speaker on customer centric strategy, leadership and entrepreneurship at GBHI- UCSF and Trinity, GIBS South Africa, Imperial College, London.
During the podcast on this vast topic, Greg shares some insightful knowledge and advice on What Sales Effectiveness is? and uses the phrase “delighting your customer”, bringing the customer what they really want, building lasting relationships and using a whole organisation approach to deliver the offering and satisfying the customer needs as a long-term strategy.
Greg gives real life examples from personal experiences on how to approach a Sales Effectiveness strategy and stresses the importance that this requires whole company buy in, consistency and a commitment to execute a plan that could take up to 5 years to embed and see results. He has worked with companies to achieve these goals and has seen huge cultural shifts moving towards an outcome/solutions delivery which has “delighted” the customer and seen significant company growth as a result.
Hope you enjoy listening - we'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. -

Nigel asks Rainer and Joey to summarise any advice they would give to anyone embarking on seeking venture capital investment.
You’ll have to listen to hear their full advice but “kissing a lot of frogs” and “if you don’t love it, don’t do it” made it to their top tips!

Avril used her positivity combined with her technology expertise to develop Cancer Central, a growing platform helping people affected by cancer find the support and information they need.
