Nick Forrest
President
Forrest & Company Limited

Pragmatic. Reflective. Truthful. These qualities uniquely position Nick Forrest as a forthright individual who has devoted his career to the study and practice of management and leadership. He believes that companies grow as a direct result of the level of excellence of the management team, and his passion is to build great places to work that deliver extraordinary results.

For almost three decades, Nick has guided leaders in organizing their businesses to solve and effectively implement complex challenges, thereby gaining a significant edge over competing companies. He assists CEOs, presidents and other senior executives to execute strategy, and align and integrate the work of the entire organization.

Nick’s book, How Dare You Manage? Seven Principles to Close the CEO Skill Gap (www.howdareyoumanage.com), was written because many of those who reach the very top of their organization have never been taught how to manage large groups of employees.

An engaging and entertaining speaker who challenges his audience to re-examine their managerial leadership beliefs, Nick’s passion in his life’s work bursts forth in every word. At times inspirational, at others provocative, Nick is a spokesperson for the craft of management.
