About:
After 37 years in the Army I set up Ich Dien Solutions to make best use of my transferable skills. Ich Dien is the motto of the Prince of Wales, and was the motto of the first Regiment I was commissioned into in 1989, The Staffordshire Regiment (The Prince of Wales's). It simply means 'I serve' and that's what we do, we find solutions to match your problems.
The portfolio has expanded and I conduct leadership training, mentor leadership candidates, army officers and those breaking into leadership and management in business and help organisations to design and deliver in-house training. When not involved in that I do inspirational and motivational speaking in schools and have experience in public speaking and chairing conferences.
In addition Ich Dien Solutions conducts hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, particularly useful for those who need a little bit of help overcoming subconscious barriers, fears or phobias; group taster sessions are available.
And finally I teach offshore sailing, as a professional skipper, helping others to gain confidence, improve communication skills, become an active part of a team and gain Royal Yachting Association qualifications.

He has not only contributed himself to classroom discussions, lectures and panels, but has also introduced me to a variety of extremely high quality contacts with whom I also continue to work.
HIs experience in leadership, strategic planning and project executions unparalleled in his field, and he is extremely good at drawing out the transferable knowledge that his long-term service in the military offers to the world of business at all levels.
