    VEP Episode #74 Trevor and Berenice Manning

    Meet a passionate coach dedicated to nurturing intelligent individuals to enhance their leadership capabilities within the bustling realm of business. Having navigated the challenging transition from technical expert to the C-suite, this coach brings over 30 years of diverse leadership experience across roles ranging from technical positions to COO posts, and advisory board memberships in countries such as the US, UK, South Africa, Italy, and Australia.

    With a wealth of practical insights and frameworks, this professional simplifies the leadership process. Specializing in transforming technical experts into motivational leaders, they foster leadership habits and mindsets through targeted training and coaching.

    Leadership in today’s complex workplace—characterized by flat or matrix organizational structures, burgeoning workloads, and constantly changing parameters—presents significant challenges. This coach addresses these challenges, focusing on helping technical leaders transition into inspiring figures while emphasizing the importance of soft skills often overlooked by technical personnel.

    Having trained hundreds of technical leaders internationally, including engagements at Oxford University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, this coach also advocates for re-humanizing the workplace. Their C-level operational management experience and deep roots in the ICT sector lend a real-world edge to their coaching and training sessions.

    Complementing other programs, their training builds on the theoretical foundations of MBAs or other leadership courses to apply leadership skills to day-to-day operational challenges. They continue to run masterclasses on Microwave engineering, believing that mastery of both skilled trade and leadership principles are essential for success.
