We know how important it is to be inspired by both big businesses and individuals, which is why we are excited to present Talking Leaders, a bi-monthly initiative from the AHDB which will see a series of inspirational speakers share their life experiences and deliver impactful stories to the AgriLeader community.

In our December broadcast, we are delighted to have expert coach and consultant: Nick Davies to discuss Negotiation: How to Get the Result You Want 

Nick is the author of ‘How to be Great at the Stuff You Hate: the straight-talking guide to persuading, selling & networking’. He is also a trainer of Communication Skills to Members of The Royal Household and a visiting Lecturer at University College Dublin Smurfit Business School, Dublin.

He is also the co-founder and director of the training, coaching and consulting company Tricres Ltd.

Whilst his background is in field and retail sales (as well as being called to the Bar in November 1999) and briefly working as a lawyer) he has been a trainer and speaker since 2006.

Over the years he has accumulated a wealth of experience, training and teaching lawyers, accountants, fund managers, senior managers & civil servants, from the exceptionally junior to the incredibly senior how to sell, persuade, close, speak, present, negotiate, network and develop business, either one-to-one or in large groups.

Although the majority of this work has taken place in the U.K., he has been lucky enough to speak across the globe, including amazing places such as: Monaco, Antibes, The Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Singapore, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Wellington, Auckland West Virginia, Beijing & Southport.

Nick performed stand-up for ten years and continues to deliver after-dinner speeches and host award ceremonies.
