David Taylor ensures people and organisations make lasting change, very fast, by unleashing the strengths, ideas and passions that they already have internally.
Unlike many so-called “gurus”, David has real experience working with real leaders in real companies. He has a 25 year track record of delivering results to hundreds of companies and thousands of leaders around the world. His latest clients include Ford (Re-inventing how cars are sold), Tullow Oil (How to make and save money on projects) and The Abu Dhabi Government (How to be a top five entrepreneurial economy by 2020).
David is author of the fastest selling business book in the world, The Naked Leader, and three global follow-ups, The Naked Leader Experience, The Naked Coach and The Naked Millionaire. As a speaker, David has keynoted in 74 countries and has shared platforms with Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev.
On television, David has transformed teams in Working Wonders (ITV), removed phobias on live television in The Salon (Channel 4) and most recently turned around a small company in decline to treble their profits in The Naked Office (Virgin 1) which was nominated for a Royal Television Society award. He is now working on an under wraps project that will prove forever that anyone can literally achieve anything they choose, no matter what their background.
David Taylor is Professor of Leadership at Warwick University Business School, the Professor of Entrepreneurship at Ulster Business School and Business Ambassador for The Princes Trust.
