In Command

in command

In Command is an ethical organisation that respects the diverse needs and cultures of our global client base. We are sensitive to issues of culture, religion, gender, race and political affiliations. We value our approach and total support of equal opportunities. In the commercial world we offer business and industry leaders the opportunity to work together with highly trained men and women from business specialisations and military backgrounds to look at your business through a different lens. Our highly trained experts all have international experience and many enjoyed hugely successful second careers in business. They understand how business works and operates. Those of our team from a military background have spent 80 per cent of their careers being trained. They are now sharing that training to help business leaders appraise dilemmas, assess risk, decide on action and respond in the most ethical and appropriate ways to achieve their aims. In support of a client’s commercial confidentiality we keep all client documentation and records secure to prevent third party disclosure. We support the benefits of personal development, training and career progression utilising some of the most qualified personnel who train global leaders. At the same time we respect professional boundaries by not encroaching into personal areas. We are transparent about all coaching techniques. Our military speakers are all achievers and inspire and stimulate new thinking that effect behavioural change, encourage higher performance, engender team work and better communications – or simply entertain. Business is increasingly recognising the skills of the military and turning their recruitment sights onto bright, ambitious and skilled personnel to tackle performance, leadership, logistical, engineering and Cyber security roles. Our special military events are fully covered by public liability and personal insurance. MEET THE TEAM MEET OUR PARTNERS © 2018 IN COMMAND LTD.

The Tech Leader Academy Ltd

Birmingham,

Welcome to The Tech Leader Network, world class coaching, consulting, mentoring and training for ambitious and motivated tech industry professionals creating Tech Leaders who build and inspire others. Whether your goal is personal development, career acceleration, or both, The Tech Leader Network is your catalyst for positive change. If you currently work within IT or the broader tech industry arena, then our cutting-edge programmes were developed specifically for you. Maybe you aspire to become a future leader? Or perhaps you are currently positioned as a leader, but have your sights set on further advancement? If so, then our unique results-driven development programmes has been designed with you in mind. Using tools, techniques and proven processes developed over 20 years, The Tech Leader Network will educate, motivate and inspire you to perform and succeed way beyond your own expectations. We live and breathe the IT industry! And we are passionate about successfully integrating IT people into the world of business. Whilst being able to fulfil a technical role to a high standard, those in the IT industry frequently struggle with human skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership. Most people are not born leaders. For the majority, becoming an outstanding leader requires learning and time. In addition to developing practical skills, leaders must also have great character. They need to develop an understanding of emotional intelligence and human behaviour. It’s this greater understanding that enables both established and emerging leaders to positively influence workplace culture, communication, facilitation, modelling and mentoring, to name a few. It’s these principles of development on which our unique strategy is based. One fundamental thing that we’ve learned is that people are generally capable of achieving far more than they imagine possible. We open the door to those possibilities and guide you to achieve and perform far beyond the expectations of yourself and others.

Heavy Metal Therapy

heavy metal therapy

London

Heavy metal therapy is an online resource and community of people who find metal music helpful for mental well being. It is a place to find and share experiences of how metal has helped us, the meaning we take from songs or lyrics, and play lists that we have found useful. It is for everyone, so we don’t judge each others metal preferences. If you would like to share your own recovery story about how metal has helped you please contact us, we can make stories anonymous if you prefer. We continue to develop a few shared playlists under heavy metal therapy, which can be expanding and changing. We like people to share their own music or art if it comes with a reason/message to do with mental health. We may be a small and select group, but we are open to suggestions of expanding. Hopefully over time this will become led by and shaped by those who use it, so it’s not set in stone, it can grow and change. See this video for a bit more about us. Heavy metal therapy is both a website and on social media, so find us on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram. We are a registered Community Interest Company (more here) Quick disclaimer: we know it’s called heavy metal therapy, but we are not claiming to be a substitute for psychological therapy, we are a self-help and peer support community. If you feel you need support from mental health services please seek it through appropriate channels (in the UK this is usually via your GP). Also, all things metal tend to be quite sweary and have dark themes, so there’s quite a bit of that in the stories and playlists.

Whether it was singing karaoke, listening to audiobooks, or devising a radio station in his bedroom, Mark has always appreciated the power of the human voice. His love for radio started at a local level, in the glory-days of personality-based breakfast radio. That love affair was sparked at his city’s famous BRMB, but a succession of cost-cutting measures, takeovers, and technological advances would slowly snuff out that candle. Episode one Mark studied Media & Communication at Birmingham City University, specialising in Internet radio. He graduated the year the term “podcasting” was coined, but it would be a further four years before he’d pluck up the courage to pick up a mic and plug it into the Internet. But in 2008, the podcast bug finally bit, and Mark started what would be a 14+ year career helping people make podcasts, first in exchange for beer, and then for money. The little company with the robot fist for a logo In 2016 Mark founded the media hosting company Podiant, which took him to the British Podcast Awards, and saw him present at International Podcast Day in 2020. The product served millions of listeners across thousands of podcasts, and in 2021 Mark sold Podiant so he could focus on working more closely with individuals and small teams, to set them up for podcasting success from day one. From the ear to the brain to the heart Mark founded Origin in 2021 to help impact entrepreneurs build trust with their audiences, and catalyse change. He does this through a combination of consulting, training, coaching, and production. It centres around driving messages from the ear to the brain, where – through consistency and authenticity – they eventually land in listeners’ hearts.
