Michael Harris

I'm Michael, a retired professional based in Spain with a wealth of leadership, industry, coaching, and transformative experience. Over my 30-year career, I've navigated various sectors, including Retail Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Manufacturing, Telecoms, and Government, both as a permanent member of staff and as a freelance advisor. Recently, I've served as Chief Information Officer (CIO) within the Lloyds Insurance Market and a major international high street bank.

My journey has equipped me with profound insights into the challenges leaders encounter. I'm deeply passionate about assisting organisations and individuals in shaping their future. I believe that effective leadership entails articulating a clear vision, collaboratively devising a strategic plan, and cultivating a fervent following.

Here's how I can support you:

- Managing a successful senior career as someone who is neurodivergent
- Crafting and executing communication strategies, internally and externally
- Enhancing public speaking skills
- Designing optimal organisational structures
- Cultivating strong team engagement and support
- Elevating your personal and team's external reputation
- Establishing foundations for high-performance teams
- Balancing organic team growth with external recruitment
- Promoting diversity within your team
- Polishing your CV and preparing for challenging interview questions

Though I'm a native British English speaker, I'm proficient in Spanish at Level B2. So, regardless of language or location barriers, I'm here to help you thrive!
