Hello. I'm Marcus O'Dair, a professor, author and coach with a background in the creative industries. I offer evidence-based development for leaders, managers and entrepreneurs.

As a coach and consultant, ​​​I support leaders, managers and entrepreneurs with career change and professional development. Many of my coaching clients come from the creative industries or higher education. But I have worked with clients in roles from first management position to CEO and in organisations from startup to multinational.

​

I offer structured training programmes as well as individual and team coaching, with funding from UK Shared Prosperity Fund and the British Council as well as individual clients. I have also consulted for organisations including Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Research Institute.

​​​​​​​​​​

I have a PhD and an MBA as well as being a qualified executive and team coach. And I'm a member of the Association for Coaching. I also have more than 20 years of leadership and management experience as a magazine editor, music manager and associate dean.​I'm currently Director of the Design, Arts and Creative Practice Knowledge Exchange and Research Institute at Kingston University. 

​

I've contributed to The Guardian and The Independent and appeared on the BBC and CNN. And I have written several books, one of them a BBC Radio 4 book of the week.

​​​​

I'm based in Brighton, on the south coast of England, but also work in London and online. I'm also happy to travel where appropriate and have worked with leaders around the world from Accra to Amman.

​​​​

100% of coaching clients say they would recommend me to a friend or colleague.
