Biography of Mike Smith

In a world where change is now the norm and reinvention are a commonly placed event within corporations, life at the top, including performance, is anything but predictable.

As a Strategic Behaviorist, I challenge the thinking and beliefs of senior leaders and their teams, helping them rethink some of their strategies in line with their expectations and human collateral.

Often, strategies are set, existing personnel are encouraged to rethink, and excessive pressure is placed upon these individuals to achieve what many consider impossible.

In my world as a Strategic Behaviorist, I set about helping Corporations create a "Learning Organization" full of curiosity, where the modern leader is an "Enabler".

Working with the concept of change "using knowledge we do not know, understand, or have experience of" is paramount to the survival of many companies in their quest to think of the future and work with the unknown.

The human collateral (Executives, Directors and senior management) must be guided, inspired, led and encouraged to encompass this change management process where "only the unexpected is innovative".

Developing senior personnel to understand and embrace the concept of "Inspirational Leadership" to help their teams act and think differently is paramount.

Creating an expectation of constant change, thinking differently, and developing a culture that supports this new modus operandi becoming the norm.

As a Strategic Behaviorist, I explore with senior leaders, using a behavioral, emotional intelligence audit, how the thinking, learning and innovation process may be implanted as a day-to-day norm, helping to create inspirational leaders who can make a difference and, in many cases, achieve what would be considered otherwise impossible.

Emotional Intelligence is no longer nice but needs to be understood and utilized in forward-thinking and people-driven companies.

Having trained under Michael Romeling (the World’s leading strategic behaviorist) and been the leader of a team who successfully implemented the “Truly Amazing” program I have extensive experience in this field with an intuitive feel for people's performance which has led to multiple highly successful turnarounds in corporate leadership and, ultimately, shareholder delight.
