The Business Athlete
The Business Athlete ®
Colin is co-Founder and Senior Consultant at Business Athlete.
Colin works with others in leadership development and human dynamics and systems at the human/business performance interface. An accredited Coaching and Organisation Consulting Supervisor, he is fortunate to have personally consulted with 7x FTSE100s, one Fortune 200, two global banks, one leading FMCG, one major political party, several multi-agency non-profits, plus hundreds of individuals in the corporate, private and non-profit sectors. He often co-coaches or co-facilitates with associates.
Colin tends to work responsively to client needs, generating and designing solutions in a bespoke way to the situation. One well-used programme that often returns to the surface as helpful in some situations is The Business Athlete, which supports the human development side of business projects and promotes the underlying human requirements for project success. Call Colin to discuss the idea further.
Business Athlete Ltd and the trademark (The) Business Athlete were incorporated and granted in 2003. Colin has been instrumental in the development and maintenance of the company. Founded by Peter Mayes and Heather Girling in 2003, Colin was invited to join shortly after by co-Director Peter’s sister (and Colin’s work colleague) Rosie Mayes. Peter and Heather kindly gifted the company over to Rosie and Colin as co-Directors soon after. Since then Rosie and Colin have developed a team of accredited Business Athlete coaches and used the Intellectual Property (IP) of Business Athlete to help clients to measure how much of their potential they believe they are using, and find ways to fulfil more of their potential.
Clients tend to be ambitious leaders, high-potentials and entrepreneurs who need to manage their lives well so that they continue Winning Without Losing – that is, to synergise their lives across the dimensions of personal/professional and long-term/short-term. To do this Business Athlete draws from high performance sport and other performance development/performance lifestyle fields to maximise long-term performance and energy across the capacities of Physical, Mental, Emotional/Social and Spiritual/Transpersonal. This integration and the associated structured growth plans enable clients to deliver more of their purpose in a values-led way while frequently regenerating and renewing themselves personally and professionally for maximum sustainability and growth.
