For nearly 20 years Annabelle Beckwith has been helping entrepreneurs, business leaders and managers around the world to build stronger, more productive teams and more profitable businesses by developing their leadership skills through training and coaching.


Before this, she held various management roles, including that of Head of Development and Public Affairs at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland).


Her work with entrepreneurs and business owners centres around core patterns and principles and proven best practice, gathered from working in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Asia.


About our discussion she says, "What’s often missed as entrepreneurs scale their businesses  - just because we’re human beings and we don’t know what we don’t know until we’re in the thick of it – is how aspects of the human condition have a tendency to get in the way. It’s the unseen ‘people factors’   which pretty much ensure that growth  and progress don’t happen in a straight line.


"I’ll be discussing what entrepreneurs and business owners can do about the hidden people factors running behind, through and alongside the practical business growth principles of strategy, process and systems – either  carrying your business forward...or threatening to derail it."
