Former Royal Marine to give leadership talk at b2b@SandyPark Exhibition
Business strategist Phil Sampson has been confirmed as the latest speaker at a b2b event being staged later this week at Sandy Park, the home of the Exeter Chiefs.
Phil was a career Royal Marines officer before forming leadership consultants Sampson Hall in 2009. He is a proven dynamic and innovative strategist and leader with outstanding communication skills who rapidly brings success to businesses of all sizes.
The b2b@SandyPark event is being staged at the home of the Exeter Chiefs on Thursday (October 17).
Phil will talk about Modern Business Leadership, how leadership has changed and the requirement for situational leadership and empowerment among business leaders.
He has extensive experience in the public sector in intelligence and security, contingency planning and building multi-agency organisations having worked in Whitehall and internationally.
Phil has also been instrumental in building Sampson Hall's reputation in the private sector working with international corporations down to micro businesses. He has been extremely successful in developing the right strategy for the organisation.
He has developed, led and managed teams throughout his career. He was Commanding Officer of the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (over 2000 personnel) and Royal Marines Tyne.
Phil has been involved in strategy, leadership development, coaching and mentoring throughout his career and is a very strong advocate of strategic planning, social identity, talent management and continuous improvement.
Other speakers also lined up will include Exeter Rugby Club’s head coach, Rob Baxter and the founder of The Exeter Daily, Marc Astley.
Bev Gratton of Sandy Park said: “Although there is a vibrant business community in Devon and lots of different events, we aren’t aware of anything as comprehensive or extensive as this.
"With more than 80 per cent of the space booked, we are really looking forward to our first b2b@SandyPark Exhibition, which will be open to everyone on the Exeter Chiefs mailing database.
"The day promises to be an interesting one with a wide variety of businesses exhibiting, some top class seminars, and even a few Chiefs thrown into the mix for good measure!” she explained.
“What we are offering is something quite different and something that we hope will become a regular fixture in the business calendar.
Derek Phillips, vice chairman of Exeter Chamber of Commerce, said: “Sandy Park has been a tremendous asset to the business community, not only for Exeter but a much wider area. It is probably the best conference and meeting facilities in the South West.”
