The Management Sanctuary team comprises the three directors and a select associate team.

Brian Bennett, Director...

Brian's approach to development is to tap into the potential that exists in everyone. He coaches and encourages individuals to explore their current performance and seek ways to "raise their game".

Brian has many years experience in banking, finance and automotive, in business development and financial analysis. His breadth of experience, reinforced with the practical application of academic research, enables him to develop the skills and confidence of individuals across a wide range of business topics.

Brian facilitates a balanced development of the three key areas required by leaders and managers: skill, knowledge and behaviour.

When Brian isn't coaching at work he coaches junior rugby players, some of whom have progressed to representative teams. He has a passion for water sports and given half a chance he'll drag people out in a boat and teach them to sail or ski. He sometimes gets the opportunity for DIY and to spend time with his wife and four children!
Brian has an MSc Strategic Automotive Management - he researched the evaluation of training and development, producing a framework to maximise the benefits of training. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Motor Industry, a member of the British Psychological Society, level A and B, and a certified coach.
