Sam Harvey used to be a difficult, arrogant boss. He's worked around the world from New Zealand (where he was born), to Australia, from the USA to where he lives now in London, England. Over the years he was managing teams, Sam struggled to understand why his team members wouldn't just 'do as they were told' and with the impact that their apparent lack of obedience had on profits and stakeholders.

Successful coaching businesses are made up of equal amounts of 2 different skill sets.
