About this user
Adrian Gilpin is best known for working with Chief Executives and their management teams to help them turn their organisations into Inspired Enterprises. He also leads the IHD's High Performance Coaching Academy.
"There are three forces that dictate human performance - Storytelling, Energy and Drive. Bring these forces of the Head, the Heart and the Gut into alignment in an individual and followers respond unconsciously to the potency of personal authenticity. Bring these forces into alignment within an enterprise and performance is transformed. Individuals take responsibility for unleashing their full potential; managers coach high performance from others; and leaders create an inspired environment where people are able to be at their best. This is not pie-in-the-sky idealism; it is a vital journey for any business that wishes to survive the next decade."
Adrian Gilpin's work around transformational energy in organisations has helped his clients to implement some of the most effective and sustainable change programmes in business. Many organisations -- recently Royal Bank of Scotland, Prudential Property Investment Managers, Barclaycard and Central Bank of Kuwait -- have retained Adrian to coach their Managing Directors and senior executives. Clients such as Argos, Homebase and William Grants engage Adrian and his colleagues to train their leadership teams in the principles and practise of high performance coaching. Many entrepreneurs have worked with Adrian to maximise the value of their enterprises; Adrian coached the board of Bookham Technology through the largest ever public floatation of any UK technology business. Adrian works regularly within the public sector too, including the MOD, all three armed forces, the NHS, Housing Associations and social enterprises. Adrian's personal passion is to impact the long term thinking about how we educate our children -- he believes it is about as misguided as we can get it right now -- and he is a regular speaker at national and local education conferences.
Adrian's masterclasses, seminars and key-notes are a heady mix of story-telling, movie clips, common sense and a deep understanding of what makes human beings tick and perform at their best. His presentations get very high endorsement from CEOs and business leaders for the sustained impact they have on audiences.
