John Blakey

As the UK's leading executive coach to purpose-driven CEOs and the founder of The Trusted Executive, I help ambitious leaders who are a #forceforgood and who deliver triple bottom-line success - profit, people and planet. In challenging my clients to achieve transformational, high-performance goals, I bring a unique track record as a pioneering executive coach, global thought leader and former FTSE 100 international managing director. As an executive coach, I have worked with over 130 CEOs from 22 different countries, including the leaders of FTSE 100 plc’s, high profile public servants and some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs. I have also coached the leaders of gold-medal winning Team GB Olympic squads, title-winning premiership football clubs and the England cricket coach. As a thought leader, I am a keynote speaker on the three coaching models featured in my books:-► 'Force for Good' (to be published by Kogan Page in August 2024). ‘► ‘The Trusted Executive’ (shortlisted as CMI Book of the Year)► 'Challenging Coaching' (UK best-seller co-authored with Ian Day) In my earlier leadership career, I was consulting director of one of the UK’s fastest growing private companies, Team121 and later, international managing director at Logica plc.
