EPISODE 9 – Business Leader Profile: Chris Brindley

Former MD of Metro Bank and one of the UK’s most prominent executive leaders, Chris Brindley MBE left his Manchester school at 16 with very few qualifications. The excellent reports on his people skills from teachers were a far better indicator of his future success than any exam result or academic achievement. How did Chris turn those skills into the secret of his incredible success and what can we all learn from his life? 

*Series 1 of our podcast - Episodes 1-24 - was branded differently and so might initially confuse you if you start listening anytime from March 2021. A quick explanation for you: the first series was based on the bestselling book of our company founder, Paul Owen: SECRET SKILL. HIDDEN CAREER. The premise of the book and podcast series 1 is this: 3.5 million Brits work in sales and almost every job requires sales skills at times, yet we don’t teach people how to sell. Not only do we fail to teach it but we fail to introduce it as a business skill, a life skill or a career because our culture considers sales a dirty word. Based on a bestselling book, this podcast shatters the myths around sales and introduces everyone to sales as a skill to use in business and in life, and to consider it as a potential career. 

For series 2, the podcast was re-branded to better reflect future content around sales leadership and how it enables you to grow your business.*
