TEDxLeamingtonSpa aims to find and celebrate these ideas from some of the most influential minds in the West Midlands, including two of Pentlands clients, Dr Angela Armstrong and Graeme Hall.
Angela is a leadership development specialist and executive coach. She has trained and coached leaders at companies such as Rolls-Royce, BT, and M&S, her articles have been published in leading coaching industry magazines, and she will soon be a published author. Have you ever wondered how some people take challenges and changes in their stride, while others become stressed and exhausted?
Angela will demystify how to build your personal resilience so that you can beat stress, take up exciting opportunities and live the life you desire – whatever life throws at you.
Acknowledged by the media as one of Britain’s top dog trainers Graeme aka “The Dogfather” criss-crosses the country helping dog owners with dog behaviour problems.
This year Graeme has worked from Aberdeenshire to Sussex with dogs of all sizes and all kinds of problems. In total, he has helped over 4,000 dogs (and one fox!). Graeme is one of the few dog trainers chosen by TV and radio broadcasters to feature in their programmes. He has trained dogs on the set of a Hollywood film and even helped celebrities with their pets. Unusually for a dog trainer, Graeme did not have a dog of his own until his 40s – he now owns a (very well behaved) Rottweiler called Gordon – and came into dog training relatively late in life.
Graeme is also an accomplished public speaker, writes a monthly column in Countryside magazine and competes in national ballroom and Latin competitions for fun.
