Mike Gale

Mike Gale, the lead author of The Sales Manager's Desktop Guide, has been in the training business for 20 years [see www.synergy5.net]. He has worked with over 100 companies in that time, from small businesses to blue chip firms, government departments, local councils, Ombudsmen and even the U.S. Navy! He uses communication skills as the 'point of the arrow' in all his current programmes related to Leadership, Sales, Teams, Customer Service, Presentation and the Telephone. For seven years Mike was a motivational speaker performing at annual company conferences including keynotes for the Institute of Directors, the Natwest Customer Service Conference and the Fitness Industry Association. His fascination with communication started with Mime and he was a founder member of Impromime in the Far East where they were invited to the Asian Arts Festival and to perform for the Hong Kong Ballet. Mike is now a sponsor of Moveo, the Barcelona school of Mime. He was born in Colombia and speaks Spansh though he is based in the UK, near Petersfield. For eight years he travelled around the world delivering communication programmes to investment and international banks together with Enb Consulting, now a part of Moody's. In 2005 Mike participated in the Fastnet race with a mainly amateur crew. His personal strap line is 'the road less travelled..' a reference to his non-linear career progression, preferring to opt for stretch and new challenges in order to continually build his resourcefulness and initiative so that he delivers real experience and value to his clients.
