“Over the last several months since I began coaching with Gordon I have up-leveled my team, I have simplified my process, I have implemented new protocol to get my team on track and I am already seeing amazing results! His FAST training is so simple yet so revolutionary. His no-excuses leadership has kept me on track and given me a solid system to lead by. I am so excited to be introducing him to my top level clients so that he can help them up-level their leadership abilities also! I highly recommend him as a speaker, coach and trainer!”
Kellie Kuecha, Founder of the Monetize Method"Working with Gordon, and using his FAST Approach, we were able to successfully deliver a $30m program in a 3 months timeframe, instead of the original 18-month estimate. Gordon created a simplified plan, which allowed us to focus on what was important, but with sufficient detail that helped to build confidence in the team. With an organization of over 350 people involved, it’s critical that we have the right levels of transparency into performance to ensure that we can hold people accountable, but without it becoming an administrative overhead. Gordon helped us get the balance just right, so that we could keep bureaucracy to a minimum, whilst ensuring that we had the necessary insights to steer the program to successful conclusion. The FAST approach was the difference between success and failure for us, and I would highly recommend it to any organization looking to revolutionize their results."
Mark Hunt, Senior Director - Major Programmes Cable & Wireless Communications“Gordon is a great speaker and motivator. He speaks from his hands-on experience providing excellent insights that bring value to the listener. Simple, clear, pragmatic messages that are easy to understand, and more importantly easy to share with our teams.”
Venketesh Rao, Accenture Managing Director“What an inspirational man! Follow his work on FAST leadership”.
Professor Rune Todnem“Attended a talk on Leadership by @GordonTredgold today ‘Simple’ but brilliant stuff. So excited and now off to buy his book!”
Katrina Hutchings, Digital Marketing Manager, Staffordshire University.“Gordon has made a big difference in my leadership. The team and I at 1Billion Africa have been greatly inspired by his mentorship and coaching. With his help, we increased in membership and now have Country Ambassadors in 9 other African countries, won a humanitarian award in New York and have increased in partnership with other organizations. Applying the FAST leadership approach has indeed greatly increased our effectiveness. As a young African leader, I think if Africa applies Gordon’s principles, success would be inevitable.”
Prince Adu-Appiah, Chairman and Founder.“Hearing Gordon speak on FAST was excellent, but the real value was gained in our consulting sessions afterwards.”
Jean-Marc Boschien, Head of Group IT Risk and Information Security at Allianz Group.“I highly recommend Gordon as a speaker and presenter based on our recent collaboration for Intuit.”
Alex Forbes, Intuit Marketing Director.“I took one of Gordon’s trainings FAST Approach to Twitter, about a month ago. I’ve had a twitter account for several years but never really used it or honestly understood how to use it or why I should. After taking Gordon’s class I have grown my twitter following from just a few hundred to over 16K in just a few weeks and I have been invited to speak on one tele-summit and one podcast His system is simple to use and I’ve spent less than 10 minutes a day in order to get these results. I highly recommend Gordon’s work. He’s brilliant and makes things really simple.”
