Michael Brown

Michael is a business founder, a long-term managing director, part of the leadership group of an organisation of over 4,000 people, and social enterprise pioneer – helping to create, launch and lead what is thought to be the world’s first mental health drop-in centre inside a soup kitchen. Michael’s interest in the psychology of conflict and compromise arose after spectacularly falling out with his fellow shareholders in a business he led for a decade. The lessons learned positively informed the culture of his next venture, now an international marketing organisation, and gave rise to I Don’t Agree.Michael is a published writer, but this is his first book. He lives in Brighton with Katy, Jake, Freddie, Millie and Tessie - who is a Shi-Tzu. He plays the saxophone when feeling stressed, and was once a sticker in Smash Hits.
