John Blakey

As the UK's leading executive coach to purpose-driven CEOs and the founder of The Trusted Executive, I help ambitious leaders who are a #forceforgood and who deliver triple bottom-line success - profit, people and planet. In challenging my clients to achieve transformational, high-performance goals, I bring a unique track record as a pioneering executive coach, global thought leader and former FTSE 100 international managing director.

As an executive coach, I have worked with over 130 CEOs from 22 different countries, including the leaders of FTSE 100 plc’s, high profile public servants and some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs. I have also coached the leaders of gold-medal winning Team GB Olympic squads, title-winning premiership football clubs and the England cricket coach.

As a thought leader, I am a keynote speaker on the three coaching models featured in my books:-

► 'Force for Good' (shortlisted as the IoL leadership book of the year)

► ‘The Trusted Executive’ (shortlisted as CMI business book of the year)

► 'Challenging Coaching' (UK best-seller co-authored with Ian Day)

In my earlier leadership career, I was the consulting director of Team121, one of the UK’s fastest-growing private companies, and later, international managing director at Logica plc.
