For the past decade Blaire Palmer has been coaching leaders and teams to achieve greater success. Over that period, it seemed to her that those who succeeded had certain qualities in common no matter how diverse their fields of expertise. In her new book, The Recipe for Success (published May 2009, A&C Black), she outlines the ten vital ingredients which successful people have in common.
In this session Blaire will share her conclusions and how these insights can be used to coach executives, business people and ambitious individuals to greater success. And, of course, how coaches can use these ingredients in their own success recipe. Some of the ingredients will take members (and their coachees) by surprise and offer a counter-intuitive approach to what it takes to be a success.

I began my career as a journalist, producing the BBC’s current affairs programme, Today, and the flagship magazine programme, Woman’s Hour, for Radio 4. In 2000 I began my coaching business and became one of the first PCCs in the UK, having graduated from Coach U.
Since then I have worked with business owners, executives and teams as well as a few authors, musicians and artists, helping them to build on their strengths, gain greater self-awareness and attain their most ambitious dreams. My clients include GSK, Astra Zeneca, Microsoft, Mattel and Airbus.
I am the author of two books – The Hyper-Creative Personality (2007, New Holland) and The Recipe for Success (2009, A&C Black), am a regular guest expert on Jeremy Vine’s Radio 2 programme and write regular columns for Healthy magazine and HR Zone. In addition I speak about success, leadership and creativity most recently at the 2009 Vitality Show.
