I always enjoy bringing on consultants whose expertise helps the masses. Neil Jurd has that experience to take your leadership to the next level. He now coaches throughout the United Kingdom, sharing lessons learned and what works (and doesn’t work) in high-stakes, high-impact organizations.
Neil Jurd is the author of ‘The Leadership Book – A step by step guide to excellent leadership’ and the founder of the leadership training company and online leadership video platform Leader-Connect.co.uk.
Leader-Connect delivers leadership and team-development training to a wide range of organisations, current and recent clients ranging from schools and colleges through to Virgin Media, the UK National Health Service, BDP Port of Singapore Authority and the University of Sheffield. Leader-Connect presents leadership in simple, clear and compelling terms, and the company uses experiential projects to make training engaging and effective.
A former British Army officer, he served in Iraq, Yemen, Bosnia and Sierra Leone, teaching leadership at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, sitting on the Army Officer Selection Board, and graduating from Advanced Command and Staff College. He was injured by enemy mortar fire leading his Gurkha Squadron in Iraq, and was commended for leadership as a junior officer.
Neil is the National Director of Initial Officer Training for the Army Cadet Force. In 2020 Neil received a British Citizen Award and he was appointed OBE in the 2021 New Year Honours List.
Neil has an MA from Cranfield University, studied Strategy at Manchester Business School, is an Entrepreneur in Residence at Lancaster University Management School, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management and the Institute of Logistics and Transport.
