New blogs
Businesses are increasingly looking to having a social impact, and I’m sometimes asked about the benefits and challenges that are associated with offering volunteering opportunities for staff members. In this article, I give my own experiences of volunteering as well as the business advice I’ve been giving many owners and founders.
New interviews
Nathaniel Peat is the Founder of GeNNex and The Saftey box. Both business are creating huge impact within their the communities in which they operate. He has learnt lessons the hard way and knows first hand why you must employ people that push and challenge you.
Hugo Macedo is the Founder of Smart Separations, a leader in the field of microfiltration technology. He started out as an academic, then went into the business environment. He has had to pick himself up more than once on his journey and here he shares the valuable lessons he learnt along the way.
New podcasts
From taking an engineering business from the spare bedroom to being a global leader to chairing the UKs leading membership body, Ian Dormer CBE has been there and done it time and time again. In this episode, Ian talks openly about his insights on leadership and managing a crisis and the key role governance plays.
I have been hugely lucky to know the person in this episode, he is someone who mentors me and has been there for me time and time again. He has a huge level of experience from both the startup to larger corporate space. From pulling together teams to sitting on boards and brings a spot of fun into a business, we cover alot!
“We invited Alex to be part of an exclusive panel of speakers at a major event—held in Brussels — as a leading representative of the young entrepreneurial community. His presentation on the day was everything we expected from a speaker of his calibre: passionate, intelligent and insightful.”
Director, Accenture
“Alex hosted our entrepreneurs panel at our high profile Talking Business event. We were delighted with the outcome. Alex struck the perfect balance by ensuring questions were well articulated and that all of the panel were kept in check - doing so in a positive and enlightening way.”
Senior Manager, Microsoft
“Alex delivered a thought provoking address at the UN Headquarters in New York on international entrepreneurship and innovation, sharing key insights and practical lessons with the audience. He received very strong feedback from attendees and was one of the highlights of the programme.”

It is lonely at the best of times, and right now it can feel like everything is going against you and you have few, if anyone, to turn to. To provide a tiny bit of help, I am going to try and record a new short video on this post every day or so to highlight some useful insights/ advice I come across that I hope will be of use.
