John Miers
Founder and chairman of Black Isle, with almost 30 years’ experience showing senior leaders how to gain admiration and trust in management meetings, with staff and in the media. Expert at making presentations fun for the speaker and the audience.
Throughout a varied and challenging career in the Royal Navy, which included acting as a media spokesman, John developed an incredible understanding of human communication. On leaving military service in 1990, John founded Black Isle, in order to share his experiences and understanding to develop effective communication within a business environment.
He personally developed a media coaching programme which allows each participant to have at least seven mock interviews, to prepare them for a variety of situations. The Chief Executive of the Canadian Olympic Committee became the most sought-after figure by the TV networks at the Vancouver Winter Olympic games after working with John.
John’s approach disagrees with a great deal of conventional wisdom concerning presentation and personal impact. He builds on the uniqueness of personality and helps people perform at their natural best in any situation.
He was a pioneer in e-learning, developing an early video-based programme on speaking skills, allowing managers in Asia and North America to enjoy a workshop which was not just a lecture or podcast.
This highly individual and successful approach has allowed John to expand Black Isle Consultants across four continents and to seven offices around the world. As well as coaching politicians in North America, Asia and Europe, John has helped many senior executives and public figures perform more effectively in high profile appointments.
John and the Black Isle team have won the Hong Kong trainer of the year award twice.
