The members of my Surrey-based leadership group, Entrepreneurs Board 8, enjoyed an engaging and thought-provoking session from Academy for Chief Executives’ founder, Brian Chernett, recently.
Brian Chernett
With over 40 years’ experience of leading businesses himself and coaching business leaders, and following publication of his new book, ‘The Entrepreneur Within‘, Brian perfectly combined his relaxed style with immense practical experience to deliver his top 20 ideas for success in the current economic uncertainty.
As the founder of The Academy for Chief Executives (ACE) Brian knows exactly what an ACE audience is looking for from our speakers and delivered the key requirements of genuine new learning, challenging ideas and practical advice that members could confidently take away and implement back in their own businesses superbly. Of the many leadership imperatives passionately advocated by Brian three stood out for my group on the day:-
- As a leader the critical importance of entertaining only positive thoughts and projecting a positive attitude to staff at all times
- Turn your fixed costs into variable costs wherever possible to survive the toughest downturn and emerge stronger than ever in the recovery
- Ensure all your staff are ’10’s, the market for finding great new people has never been better.
A great session.

Good business leaders, like you, often feel very alone. Running a business is tough. Key decision making, company direction, clarity of strategy, personal development; it’s a huge responsibility and it’s entirely yours. Little wonder you’re sometimes sleepless in the small hours or struggling to answer those really big questions.
