Academic qualifications don’t teach us much about becoming leaders – that only comes through experience. I’ve spent 20 years in banking, mainly in marketing, followed by 15 years leading a youth development charity, and those decades have shown me how leadership is really forged.  Having first experienced Leadership Trust as a delegate, I know first-hand […]

Leadership starts with the individual. Self-awareness, humility and courage build teams that achieve more together than alone. That belief has shaped my career, with over 35 years in financial services and more than three decades working with Leadership Trust to develop leaders across sectors worldwide. I’m passionate about driving sustainable change – helping leaders take […]

Leadership is not about rank – it’s about building effective relationships and striving to be your authentic best. I first learned this at sea with the Royal Navy, where I quickly realised that leadership is as much about self-awareness as it is about leading others. Since joining Leadership Trust in 1992, I’ve served as Course […]

This is about leadership, not management. For me, investing in people and creating environments where they can perform at their best has always been the heart of the work. I began my career with the Department for Work and Pensions in 1979, rising to senior management within Jobcentre Plus and leading teams of up to […]

Alongside this, I’ve built a parallel career in business and the not-for-profit sector, including several startups, and I now serve as Non-Executive […]

Leaders are made – not born. I believe our primary role is to help people release themselves from the self-beliefs that limit their potential. That conviction has shaped my work co-designing and leading Leadership Trust programmes, drawing on 30 years of experience across diverse sectors and clients.  My career has included senior L&D roles in […]

Michael Cavanagh OBE

The principal role of hierarchical leaders is to develop others. That belief has guided my work for more than 40 years in performance sport leadership and governance – recognised with an OBE from HM Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 and the Commonwealth Order of Merit for my contribution to the Commonwealth sport movement.  Since 2005, […]

I believe the best leader you can be is yourself – but a self-aware and composed version of yourself. That belief has shaped my long association with Leadership Trust since 1992, where I now work part-time facilitating and directing Leadership in Management courses. My background is in health services management, where I served as CEO […]

Leadership is a conscious choice rooted in values. That belief has guided my career as a Royal Marine and senior policing leader, where I gained more than three decades of operational and strategic experience.  My purpose is to enable others to lead with presence, courage and authenticity – even under pressure – so that individuals […]
