Brian McIlroy

Helping Leaders and Teams be at Their Best

About

About

Brian has a passion for helping leaders and their teams to be at their very best in terms of performance, collaboration and commitment to a shared and meaningful purpose.
He has over 25 years working as a leader inside multinational businesses and also as a external consultant across a range of industries: pharma, manufacturing, technology, oil, manufacturing, telecoms and financial services.
Brian grew up Northern Ireland during a period of intense conflict within his country. As well as witnessing the destructive impact of conflict he also observed the immense possibilities for resolving deep seated differences through mutual understanding, compassion and connecting to shared human values. This helped to shape his belief that by consciously questioning deeply held assumptions and changing how we relate to one another, we can resolve seemingly intractable issues and achieve positive break throughs.
Brian believes that this is more relevant than ever in fast changing, uncertain, volatile and complex world business leaders face today. Helping leaders to think differently, see new possibilities, collaborate better and to build personal resilience is at the core of his work with Teams, Leadership Development and helping leaders Change Culture. He has considerable experience in coaching teams to be high performing, designing and delivering leadership programs for large world-wide organizations and helping leaders consciously shape the culture they need to successfully grow their businesses.
Brian lives in London with his wife and two young children spending much free time together in the outdoors. He is a keen endurance runner and member of his local running club. He has recently taken a strong interest in how people can build “peak performance” habits through physical, mindful, mental and spiritual practices in their lives. He also enjoys traditional Irish music in his local pub.
