Dr Chuck Coker
Collaborative Partner
For more than 30 years Chuck has focused his career on people development. He has implemented proprietary Personal Formation, Human Capital, Talent Management and incentive based programs across a broad scope of Fortune Companies, regional organizations, and educational institutions. He was one of the founding authorities of The Balfour Motivational Research Institute (BMRI). The institute spent over three years identifying and codifying the key human factor contributors to motivation and success. This was accomplished in multinational and large organizations as well as hundreds of medium and small companies. After BMRI, he worked both in-house and as a consultant with companies who needed help with their executive’s development, strategic planning, interactional leadership and management issues, mergers and acquisitions as well as organizational growth and development. From 2008-2015 Chuck mixed his practice with new research as the Module Leader (Lead Professor) in Personal Formation at Westminster in the UK. His landmark study (released in 2012) capped four years of research about human data management. With that data he illustrated how the vast majority of the capacities companies look for most in successful employees, along with their Emotional Intelligence, can be improved at double-digit percentile rates with his methodology. He continues his research as a working partner and board member with the Motivational Research Institute founded by other psychometricians and staff at the University of Missouri. All of Dr. Coker’s programs are tested and validated, both academically and in the corporate environments.

Testimonials
Ali Hawkins BWCI
We engaged Leaders to help us explore the cultural factors within our business. We were delighted with their approach, analysis and insights all of which have helped us to advance as a business
Lieutenant Colonel Justin Baker, Head Centre for Army Leadership and Professor Lloyd Clark, Director of Research, Centre for Army Leadership The Centre for Army Leadership
The package you took us through was very useful. While it seems unfair to single out a specific part of what was an excellent two days, the psychometrics and analysis of team dynamics was fascinating, accurate and unexpectedly useful. Nevertheless the most significant benefit was being able to focus on what is important for the Centre. You were all great to work with, both as a team and individually; passionate, helpful, insightful and challenging just enough to get us thinking about how we would take the Centre forward.
Rob Jones Aztec Group
There are a lot of leaders around the table today and your team helped us to open up, which was very inspiring. This actually humanises everything.
Charlotte Bates Rawlinson & Hunter
We would highly recommend Phil and his team for coaching. He has a particular skill for broaching sensitive or challenging issues in a way that encourages participation. Particularly in a group situation, participants feel ‘safe’ to be more open and transparent, and this of course gives better results.
John Bampkin, CEO NP Group
Phil has been assisting the Norman Piette Group with our leadership team on both an individual and team basis. His specialist insights into an individual’s make up and behaviour has been fundamental in building a fully functioning team at Executive level within the business. This has been achieved via excellent 1-1 coaching sessions as well as off-site team functionality reviews with clear feedback, recommendations and on-going support. I have seen considerable improvements in my teams understanding and application in remarkably quick time following a recent restructure with all of the team showing dramatic improvements both individually and collectively. I would fully recommend Phil and his Leadership Program.
