Tim Leonard is an extremely capable and experienced trainer who has run hundreds of training programmes since 1990 for a wide variety of commercial and public sector clients. Previously Tim worked in the IT industry for many years, operating within the Finance, Accounting, Manufacturing and Human Resources functions.
Tim’s initial years in business were spent with IBM, which gave him a deep understanding of how a successful organisation operates. When Tim moved into IBM Training he possessed a passionate drive to demonstrate the effectiveness of his learning programmes and the return on investment they provided.
When his facility at IBM was the subject of a management buy-out in 1994, Tim contributed to the successful transition from IBM to a dynamic, responsive and viable company. During this process, when the Xyratex management team bought the operation at Havant from IBM, the business and its staff faced massive organisational change. Tim was the lead facilitator in imparting the transformational skills required to the management team and Change Champions, and also delivered Business Process Re-engineering workshops for employees to help them understand the new ways of working. Xyratex is now a $1.5 billion company.
Within his training role Tim has been instrumental in creating a range of modular topics to underpin skills required for management qualifications accredited through professional bodies.
Tim’s training style is energetic and enthusiastic, with a drive, determination and focus that are infectious for participants. Delivery is very practical, involving delegates in discussions and drawing out their issues and experiences for the benefit of all. Tim believes people derive more from a course if they enjoy the experience, and that compelling, abiding and deliverable Action Plans are vital to the return on investment that training represents - in his view theory is meaningless without practical application and benefit to the organisation.
Tim’s recent clients include Prysmian Cables (formally Pirelli), Johnson Controls, Hampshire Fire & Rescue, IBM, Xyratex, Mayday NHS Trust, NDS, Wallop Defence, PEI Genesis, London Borough of Bexley, London Borough of Bromley and Hounslow Homes.
