Our Personal Profiles - Genesis Business Services

NEIL FRANCE

Ten minutes in Neil’s company and you realise why he’s involved in developing people and businesses.

A passionate believer in helping clients to improve their sales levels and profit through their people has resulted in Neil being recognised as a highly respected trainer and speaker at international conferences.

That enthusiasm for improving performance has led Neil to develop strong long-term relationships with all of Genesis’ clients.

He is equally at home running a small tailored course to a family business as he is leading strategic workshops for boards of national and international companies.

He is a fully accredited trainer for the Brain Profile which acts as a fundamental building block for a lot of the consultancy work that the company becomes involved in.

He is married to Heather and has four children. To keep up his energy levels he is a regular mountain biker though not these days at a competitive level.

HEATHER FRANCE

Heather is a Master Practitioner of the Brain Profile and your first point of contact at Genesis.

She will be happy to discuss any aspect of our services if you contact us by telephone or email.

Heather says she has always been curious about people and what makes them tick. She believes that understanding ourselves and the people around us is one of the most important skills we can have.

She has been passionate about the Brain Profile since she first heard about it seven years ago. As a result of presenting the concept at a number of career guidance conferences around the UK this opened the door for her to introduce the Brain Profile into many schools both Primary and Secondary.

She has seen the results it delivers first hand to students and teachers in schools and this has encouraged her to now develop a network of schools focused Brain Profile practitioners to accelerate this growth.

She is married to Neil and her proudest achievements are their four children. Her energetic lifestyle still allows time to attend church regularly, take part in musicals with her Music and Drama society (provide a stage, lights, music and Heather is happy). Her goals she informs us are to try and get to the theatre more especially for musicals, and to try and introduce the Brain Profile to Liverpool Football Club a club she has followed since her early teens.

DEBORAH LEONARD

Deborah is fully conversant with the issues that confront successful businesses of today. Her experience and practical approach stem from projects such as setting up and managing an expanding and successful solicitors office. She utilised staff who had little or no experience within their field and proceeded to develop their latent potential.

Deborah like all of us in Genesis recognises that a company’s most important and valuable asset are its customers. Her recent work in supporting telephone based teams to develop and then hone their sales and communication skills has paid significant dividends to our clients.

Her core motivation lies in seeing the hidden qualities in individuals and drawing them out to the benefit of both the individual and the client they are working for.

During her time with Genesis working within the financial services and logistics industries she has demonstrated that she can quickly grasp the issues and then map out a suitable programme of activities that will be realistic, practical and challenging to her trainees.

Deborah is married with three children and lives in Chelmsford.
