London

Our Corporate Values/Style are: Aspirational, Professional, Friendly, Focused and Fun (where possible!). testi-img.jpgWe help you develop the skills and capacities that create and sustain high performance over time. As needed and desired we can also translate our knowledge of high-performance sport to help leaders improve their performance and release more potential. Consider for a moment the level of attention and detail that goes into developing a talented athlete. Imagine a business leader or executive team receiving the same kind of information and attention that an athlete does – but tailored instead to their own professional and personal needs in the business and personal context. And imagine if that business leader or executive was coached to coach themselves and others, so they could grow the principles and practices in their system, and fulfil more human potential and results in their organisation and their wider system. Welcome to The Business Athlete®. Our team is led by Colin Wilson – Board & Executive Team Coach. Colin is Managing Director of Business Athlete, a consultancy which specialises in individual, team, organisation and system potential, and in complex multi-stakeholder, multi-agency environments where there is a significant group dynamic component. He has acted as coach/consultant to seven FTSE100 companies at senior level, one major political party, and as a national non-profit full Board member. A national award-winning Executive Team coach, Colin mentors Boards and Senior Executive teams to create, deliver and evolve their core purpose and objectives. A versatile, incisive and challenging mentor, Colin aims to strengthen the team’s lived-out purpose, values, vision, strategy, culture and leadership in very practical and integrated ways. With the focus on achieving high performance, and individual fulfilment & enjoyment, with strong system and social responsibility, results can be measured in combinations of financial, social benefit, systemic and/or environmental impact, while ensuring business models that work and sustain. Opportunities and issues of diversity, inclusion and equality are progressed, held and mediated in a balanced way.

The Economics,business And Enterprise Association

the economics,business and enterprise association

London

The Economics, Business and Enterprise Association (EBEA) is the professional subject association for everyone interested in the teaching and study of Economics, Business and Enterprise. As a registered charity the association seeks to: provide members with professional support promote the teaching of Economics, Business Studies and Enterprise encourage curriculum development in these subjects The EBEA has been supporting teachers since 1937 when it was formed by Economics teachers as ‘The Economics Association’. With the development of business education in the latter part of the twentieth century and a growing interest in encouraging enterprise, the association became the Economics, Business and Enterprise Association (EBEA). The EBEA has played a significant part in the development of economics and business education in the UK in terms of both curricula and pedagogy. The association publishes both a termly journal, ‘Teaching Business and Economics’ and a monthly e-newsletter. Journal articles provide both practical guidance and evidence-based ideas for professional development. As an archive going back many years, indexed by subject, they represent an important ‘body of knowledge’ fundamental to business and economics teachers’ scholarly activity (SoTL). In addition, over the years, the EBEA has published or contributed to all the key texts setting out the latest thinking on subject specific pedagogy and curriculum planning. The association supports the development of new teachers through its Initial Teacher Education Group, members of which come from all the main ITE PGCE providers. Each January the association runs an online new teacher conference full of tips and guidance for trainees. Trainee teachers receive a heavily discounted subscription, giving them access to guidance and resources specifically aimed at their professional development. Through our advocacy work on behalf of members, the association also plays a vital role in working with key stakeholders such as DfE, Ofsted, Ofqual and others to ensure the school curriculum keeps up to date with the needs of young people. Over the years, that has included both consideration of the business and economics curricula at a subject level as well as whole school economic and financial literacy and the development of employability skills. The important work of The EBEA is heavily reliant on voluntary input from members ready to share their knowledge and expertise for the good of young people. Without such unselfish work, we believe, the learning and development of young learners in our subject field would be all the poorer and the nature of a good business and economic education determined by distant policy makers and bureaucrats. If you would like to contribute some of your time to the work of The EBEA we would very much welcome that. In the first instance contact the journal editor Gareth Taylor at editor@ebea.org.uk.

The Business Community

Hi there - I'm Paul Green, the founder of The Business Community. I've been an independent business owner since 2003 and love working with small businesses; in particular family-run businesses. I'd like to share a little story about the reason for this and what my "why" is. What drives me My father ran his own small business designing, manufacturing and supplying electrical control panels to various companies within the UK and overseas. At the age of 11, unfortunately, the business went bust - as happens to quite a few businesses. This meant having to move house, move schools - money was tight and the atmosphere was not that great in the household. Having gone through this experience, it obviously left an impression. A few years ago, I attended a workshop (run by Jacky Sherman) looking at why a person is in business and exploring the type of businesses that I enjoyed working with. In this session, the seed that was subconsciously planted many years before emerged. It became apparent that what was driving me in my endeavours to support small, family-run businesses, is that I didn't want any children associated with the business owners to go through the trauma of a failed business! This is why I strive to impact the performance of the businesses I work with; having them be better at what they do - focusing on profitability and cashflow within the business. My journey My experience and knowledge of 20 years being employed by someone else and to date, working with 100s of business owners, gives me the confidence and ability to offer business advice, coaching and training when given the opportunity to do so. Having experienced the trials and tribulations that face a small business on that entrepreneurial journey, I am passionate about making sure businesses don't make the same mistakes that I made en route! I am a big believer in collaboration and encourage businesses to work together to grow their businesses; as well as offering help and support to each other for mutual gain. In 2020, my story culminated in the creation of The Business Community. This brings together my principles of businesses working together. With our ‘pay it forward’, positive and collaborative approach, we are creating a vibrant mutually supportive business community - for the benefit of all
