Our associate team at Performance for Growth are all qualified executive coaches and trainers with varied and valuable experience working at senior level with blue chip, national and international organisations.

Introducing Peter Green

Peter Green, the Director of Performance for Growth, spent the majority of his corporate career with the Mars Group, where he successfully designed and implemented major organisational change and senior management development programmes. He also worked with the Mars Drinks business, directing the Global learning and management development function.

Peter has delivered leadership and management development programmes for a number of multi-national blue chip and public sector organisations.

He has an Advanced Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring and is a registered NLP practitioner. He’s also a qualified Myers Briggs practitioner (MBTI) and a UK licensed Situational Leadership®II trainer. He uses a blend of psychometrics, NLP and emotional maturity, 360° feedback, executive coaching and experiential techniques alongside proven leadership models.

Peter says, “I’m passionate about developing people, particularly leaders and managers. Life can be very lonely for a leader in today’s world, with little feedback from below to guide and shape development. By helping leaders to shift their perspectives we enable them to make significant transitions.

“We never stop learning and most people have far greater potential than they realise. When I work with clients I try to add a little je ne sais quoi. Something unexpected, something that shifts perspectives and changes mindsets for the better".

Introducing Dave Bates

During this period he realised that his key strength lay in developing teams and bringing out the true potential of individuals.

His areas of expertise include coaching for success, leadership and team building, change, presentation and personal effectiveness.

He has Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Personality Types and Belbin Team Roles accreditation and is a certified NLP practitioner.

Dave comments, “A few years selling for a sharply declining sports brand is a hard yet great way to start out in sales. Strange though that may sound, there is no better grounding. After much sales success and recognition in national, key and business development account roles, I found it was from developing people that I derived greatest pleasure”.
