Jeremy Kourdi

I am an experienced business writer, executive coach and consultant, the author of 27 books translated into 17 languages. During my career I have been fortunate to work with - and learn from - some amazing people and organisations: I was Senior Vice President with The Economist Group, Managing Director with Duke Corporate Education, and Head of Publishing and Research with the Chartered Management Institute. As a business writer my work is essentially writing for people with limited time to read. Whether the focus is on classical techniques for business leadership or original research and the latest ideas, the challenge is the same: finding ways to make valuable, insightful thinking accessible for busy managers at every stage of their career.

I set up my business Kourdi Associates (www.Kourdi.com) to provide expertise in the fields of content creation, coaching, and leadership consultancy. Our consultants help organisations navigate a time of challenge, opportunity and change; our coaches help people, current and future leaders, to set the right course for themselves and the people they lead, and our content – whether originally created or carefully sourced and curated – provides the timely insight needed to navigate key issues. Above all our work is practical and impactful, rigorous and engaging, enabling and future focused. And we believe that both the journey and the destination matter.

I believe that great writing and thinking about business works best when it helps change people's mindset, perspective and behaviour; when it moves their heart and hands as well as their head, when it energises, stimulates and provokes, and, above all, provides a practical benefit.
