Joe Adams
Although born in the USA, Joe has lived
and worked in the United Kingdom since 1970. For twenty years, Joe
combined the dual roles of National Sales Manager and Managing Director
of Encyclopaedia Britannica UK and Ireland, during which time, through
innovative approaches to marketing as well as to people management,
he led the company to unprecedented heights of profitability and international
acclaim. Especially valuable insights and solutions were incorporated
in Joe's ever-evolving course in management skills - appropriately
titled MIT (Management in Transition) - and over the years were shared
with hundreds of managers worldwide.
In 1995, Joe decided to establish his
own management consultancy - Adams & Associates, which specialises
in training, coaching and motivation. As an expert on leading management
practices, he has worked with a diverse number of clients and has helped
many organizations get the best out of their people on a consistent
basis. At around the same time, Joe also became CEO of Success Dynamics
International Ltd, a consultancy offering specialised counselling in
all areas of human resources, which has assisted many other companies
to achieve their objectives through better people management. Joe has
now spearheaded the continuing evolution of both companies into their
current structure, with clearly defined training, consultancy and recruiting
departments.
Joe is a widely recognized expert on
sales management, who has authored a number of management training
programmes, which he has presented all over the world. He is a dynamic
and passionate speaker who lectures on a wide range of issues, including
marketing and sales, motivation, and strategic management. He has spoken
at corporate events, business conferences, conventions and seminars,
and Joe has captivated and connected with numerous, enthusiastic audiences
throughout the world, helping people excel in both their personal and
professional lives.
While continuing to train groups and
work as a consultant, Joe also provides one-to-one coaching for senior
executives - a highly effective way of passing on his business expertise
and life skills, and to assist in individual personal development.
By talking to, and observing Joe, many clients have learned to get
the best out of people and create synergistic environments.
Joe Adams is a highly effective life and executive coach. Drawing
on a wealth of experience as a successful businessman, coaching and motivating
a sales force of 650, he is also a certified NLP practitioner, and an

Committee and The Academy for Chief Executives.
Having played a major role in the development
of Personality Survey and Job Scan, he has a deep understanding of
their use - singly and in conjunction with other instruments - in a
range of applications, from team building and training needs analysis
to corporate culture and group dynamics. He is actively involved in
the further development of new and existing products linked to the
ever-changing demands of commerce and industry.
