Marcus Haycock

Embarking on a journey over 21 years ago in the medical aesthetics industry, I discovered my true calling: transforming the landscape of leadership and team development. My name is synonymous with passion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in leadership coaching and training. Through years of challenging but gratifying work, I have been honoured with numerous UK and international awards. Each has been a poignant milestone, marking my contributions to business consulting, leading top-performing teams, and creating educational content that inspires.

At the heart of my philosophy is a deep-seated belief that nurturing leadership skills across every business level is not just beneficial but transformative. This belief has driven me to deliver programmes that benefit employees and propel businesses to invest in their most valuable asset: their people.

My passion lies in unlocking the untapped potential within individuals and teams. I strive to create environments for training and coaching that are not just inspiring but also action-oriented, pragmatic, and impactful, leaving a profound and lasting effect on all who participate. It is about making complex concepts accessible and transforming theoretical knowledge into practical skills that drive tangible results.

What truly drives me is the personal connection I establish with each individual I encounter. Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching, team workshops, speaking at symposiums, or engaging in a thoughtful 30-minute conversation, I strive to make a meaningful impact. My mission is to touch as many lives as possible, igniting a spark in those eager to explore their potential and those around them. My journey is not just about the accolades or the successes. It’s about the people I’ve had the privilege to guide, the teams I’ve witnessed reaching new heights, and the leaders I’ve supported. My vision is a world where every individual, including you, recognizes their power to lead, to inspire, and to make a difference. If you share this passion for leadership, team development, and personal growth, I am here to embark on this transformative journey with you.

Mark Tonks

Unlike most other sites, let’s start by talking about you…

It’s likely you are reading this for one of a hand full of reasons; either you think some of your team are not performing to the best of their abilities; or you think that perhaps you are not delivering everything you are capable of and you are searching for some possible solutions. More worryingly for you and your organisation it may well be a combination of the two.

Alternatively you may be looking because you and your team are performing really well and you want to find ways of becoming world class. Let’s look at what we might be able to do to help you to get things moving in the right direction.

As a leader your role is to deliver results with and through people, therefore if we can help you become more effective on a day to day basis in your area of leadership responsibility and you can do the same for your people the overall impact is sensational.

One of the biggest recurring expenses of any organisation, no matter the size, is the cost of its people; any improvement in the performance of its people therefore has a direct impact on the bottom line profitability. Typically we help people & organisations achieve greater success in these key areas;

• Personal leadership, motivation & goal setting
• Personal productivity, profitability & sales
• Improved organisation & people management skills
• More effective communication
• Improved team development, motivation & empowerment
• Improved strategic planning & thinking
• Greater work life balance

If you could pick just one of these which would have the greatest impact right now? Why did you choose that one?

All work & no play?

And don’t think all our efforts are about work. The skills, techniques and attitudes developed during our time together will serve you equally as well in your personal life.  Your health and well being is a vital success factor and a major contributor to your overall effectiveness. The same is true of your people. A happier, healthier and more motivated workforce is more productive and produces better results.

Let’s talk

If all of this sounds interesting, why not give me a call on either my mobile 07957 805987 or my office 0121 308 5628 and we can have a chat about how LMI can help you improve your leadership development, management development and organisational development.

If you’d rather ease in more slowly drop me a line on [email protected] and I’ll send you a few more details to explain things. If that’s not enough why not ask me about our money back guarantee the first time we work together- there are some terms and conditions of course but this shows just how confident we are in our programmes and your ability.

A bit about me

Just so you know what to expect when we speak, I joined LMI in 2001 after a successful 20 year career in industry because I have a passion for people and believe in the power of personal development.

I have worked hard during that time to help many hundreds of private and public organisations along with thousands of individuals have, become and achieve more.

I have spoken at many conferences and seminars here in the UK as well as internationally and have previously been a judge on the prestigious ISMM and Birmingham Balance awards. Enough about me… please get in touch so we can talk about you and what you want to achieve.

Director – North West

Michael Levy

Since joining LMI Leadership Management UK in 1999, my work addresses the people development needs of my clients across the soft skills or STAND OUT spectrum of business performance improvement.

Through the use of LMI’s development programmes, from Personal Productivity to Personal Leadership Development, from Selling Strategies to Strategic Leadership, I train, coach, facilitate and mentor first line managers to senior business director/owner managers on a group and one to one basis. My clients set out to achieve results that enhance their personal and professional success. The process also demonstrate real value by providing a multiple return on investment. Whilst this is a people business, my client have come from Legal, Property, Insurance & Financial services, IT, Education, Creative sector, Media, Manufacturing, Public & Voluntary sectors and more.

All I ask from you to work with me is simply the following – AN OPEN MIND and POSITIVE ATTITUDE. Why? Because the leaders I work with have challenges they want to address – they want to do better for their organisations, become better leaders in their organisation and question themselves as to how they can whilst operating in typically time poor environments. LMI’s programmes follow a time proven process pro-actively building on a combination of three essential success characteristics 1) goal directed action 2) self motivation 3) positive mental attitude.

To find out how this can benefit you and your organisation, I host leadership events and monthly Foundations of Success half day workshops to develop a dialogue to explore how best I may be of service to you and your business. My business mission is delivering the best tangible return on training investment through achieving measurable results in the shortest possible timescale.

I live in Altrincham with my wife and with 5 children each finding their way in the world and I strives to make a positive difference in the lives of ALL people I interact with.

I am passionate about supporting the Friendship Circle Charity and Langdon, two organisations based in North Manchester. I’ve been known to do a bit of stand-up comedy and I do know the importance of good material! I’m also passionate about music by Pat Metheny, Steely Dan, John Zorn, my family and mountain walking – not necessarily in that order.
