Our special guests for our November Platinum CEOs & Leaders lunch are Michael Crook, newly appointed CEO of SMS Environmental Ltd and Alison Leverett-Morris of ALM Coaching & Consultancy.

This event is particularly relevant for individuals and businesses currently focused on, and/or open to, growth (personal growth and business growth).

Michael and Alison will share the journey that SMS have been on since the partnership between the two organisations began in 2019.  How SMS uses Neuroscience & Psychology to unlock untapped potential in the talent their teams and gain further traction by implementing an operating system that now drives everything they do. This combination has formed the basis of a new Senior Leadership Team and new chapter for SMS which will propel the growth and ability to continue to offer the best service possible to their clients through quality and a customer service focus.

Their story is one of leadership development, transformation, culture shifts and change. The discussion will be honest and share the early successes and lessons learned.
