About the founder – Keith Turnbull; After a post University brush with the accountancy sector, Keith quickly found his natural calling to be maximising sales. As National Sales Manager in the transport sector, he learned quickly through practical experience how to coach, mentor and motivate a sales team of 70. Then came Europe wide roles in a totally different field, working with clients that included governments and the Ministry of Defence. These roles involved developing a widely dispersed business team to think creatively and to establish their own procedures and robust systems to meet and exceed standards in the most demanding environments.

Keith has also performed trouble shooting roles; foremost amongst which was a global risk consultancy firm where he was tasked with restoring the productivity of a demotivated sales team. A further key challenge was to re-energise an underperforming senior manager; having provided him with new work and life challenges his career was totally revived and his performance soared.

It is this side of the sales and business arena – extracting existing talent out from the individual; discovering and highlighting their additional skills and values and helping them apply these under utilized abilities, which makes coaching such a rewarding and exciting profession for all at KTAL.

Keith also writes regular articles on British armed forces service leavers resettlement issues for Quest magazine; www.questonline.co.uk as well as working with service leavers in developing their second career path from RAF Northolt, Aldershot Garrison and Portsmouth Naval Yard.
