Barrie and Ann happy at work

Waiting to hear from you and help you with your Belbin needs

Before helping to setup CERT in the early 1980’s  I was chairman of a major marketing group and director of two retail organisations.

I regard myself as a practical "hands-on" businessman with a passion for unleashing the potential of people.

I suppose my practical and down to earth approach and sheer determination has enabled me to achieve so much with so many organisations around the world over the last 40 years or so.  I must acknowledge though that these achievements have been due to the forging or close partnerships with key people within the organisations.

My areas of specialisation

• integrating the Belbin methodology into people performance optimisation strategies.
• Senior management individual and team performance enhancement.
• Executive performance mentoring.

Let’s start with Ann as she is the brains while I might be described as being the brawn of the partnership.

Ann Holds a BscHons degree in psychology and is a Plant-Completer Finisher.  So in addition to being very bright she generates ideas at a speed most of us struggle to keep up with and then she actually follows them through in a detailed and meticulous manner.

Before committing herself fully to CERT around 1990 she was a director of two retail business.

Ann is noted for using her psychology qualifications in a practical and helpful way rather than making things complicated.  A session with Ann typically leads to people saying things like: “Thanks, you have explained things to me much clearer than anyone else I have worked with”.

Ann’s areas of specialisation

• Providing personal and group feedback and helping people interpret the Belbin reports.
• Supporting internal and independent consultants with managing the process of getting the assessments completed and producing the Belbin reports.
• Advising on the deployment of the Belbin GetSet reports for young people.

As a Shaper-Resource Investigator my contribution is more about advocacy and getting things done.

On one occasion at a conference in Australian I was introduced as someone who was likely to say: “Let’s get the plane off the ground. We can finish designing the wings when we are up there.” Now, this was a bit unfair and a gross exaggeration, but, I have to admit there is a grain of truth in it.  

What about my qualifications.  Mmm, I haven’t any really unless you count my VHF Radio Operator’s Licence.
