I am truly blessed to have found Solution Focused Practice, and to be part of this amazing global community. The early part of my career was spent almost entirely in a problem focused world.
I studied Engineering for my first degree, then joined Unilever as a management trainee in 1989. I learned so much about business, sales, marketing, finance, but very little about people and teams. My learning there was experiential, and when I look back on my early career, I realise I was coaching as a survival skill! Following roles in Manufacturing (ice cream and frozen vegetables) and then National Accounts, I moved to join Bass Brewers and started selling beer. In 2000, I was asked to run a project. Bass’ IT team had linked their stock and order system with the world wide web – an industry first – and I was tasked wit running a 6-month pilot project. At the end, I submitted my board paper and it was signed off in 2 weeks – another industry first! Two weeks later, barbox.com was launched which became the on-line ordering platform for the UK Licensed on-trade. In 2007, I made a choice to leave.
