    John Grisby John is a 'hybrid' Professor of Practice (academia), Managing Partner and author. He is a London based American and works with leaders across many different industries and parts of the world to be effective in the 4.0 environment - which is characterised by complexity, change and problems.

     

    John was a (US) state ranked athlete in three sports (ski racer, doubles tennis and collegiate triathlete). Like most athletes in the USA, he was introduced to physical and mental performance approaches in early development. He learned/developed approaches like mental focus, mental toughness and the 'Inner Game'. He later co-delivered a project with Myles Downey to establish the 'Inner Game of Coaching' in the world of professional sports coaching (football, rugby and tennis).

     

    He has learned almost everything about leadership, change and problem solving from five resources.

    • Last, but not least, from the many clients who openly shared their experiences, their successes and their struggles.
       
    • First as a Professor and private sector practitioner working cross-sector and globally. I’m familiar with how academic rigour, pedagogy, research, methodology and theory applies in the real world
       
    • Second from Myles Downey, author of the best-selling book Effective Coaching and pioneer in an evidence-based methodology and commercial application for executive coaching in performance (individuals/teams/organisations).
