Edward Kellow

Biography

Edward is a listener and observer, an occasional performer and a life-long learner. Edward leads on training at LEAD International, where he is responsible for developing and delivering programmes around leadership and sustainability, and for building the capacity to support ongoing development and training. Some of the things Edward has learnt are that training and learning can happen anywhere, any time and in any group, provided people are engaged and involved: that he himself is motivated by teamwork and inspired by cross cultural cross sector experiences; and that the questions are nearly always more difficult to find than the answers.

Edward has designed and delivered workshops, courses and presentations on leadership, coaching, facilitation and training, teambuilding, project management, stakeholder engagement and strategic planning for government, NGOs and business in the UK, Eastern Europe, Asia and (soon) America, and Africa. After a brush with the nuclear industry at The Environment Council, working with clients in the water industry was refreshing.
A former intelligence officer, Edward has sold shirts at Harrods, supported HIV/AIDS volunteers in East London, and he created a range of subversive greetings cards called Twisted Yarns. Edward travels so much for LEAD that his friends think he still works for the Ministry of Defence. But that is another story…

Edward studied French and Russian at St Andrews University, Scotland, and he is a graduate member of the CIPD.
