Andy Ferguson
Andy Ferguson believes life is for living - no excuses, no regrets.
So when Kingsham Press asked him to write the book to help others find their way, he couldn’t refuse. They hailed it as their most original work in years and named it "The Nine Rules, The Seduction of Rest and How to Avoid It".
Andy is a proud graduate of The University of Life and has been a Professional Musician, Expedition Leader, Business Mentor, Filing Clerk, Tour Guide, Ski Instructor, Sales Rep, Dishwasher, Waiter and Cleaner and has tried his hand at a couple of dozen or more other ways of making a living.
He has designed and fabricated electronic circuits, taught management skills, reinvented the way skiing is taught, led teams to ski in the Sahara Desert, expeditions in Africa and Asia and ran around the Alps to raise money for children’s charities.
"Andy is inspirational. Sharing life experiences together you quickly realise his positive attitude. Seeing challenges as opportunities, he demonstrates that in the face of adversity we all have choices, though some may be difficult. No matter our background, upbringing, conditioning nor the labels that may be attached to us: it’s what we believe possible that really matters.
Andy loves life and he uses all his knowledge and experience to share his passion with others."
Pat Elliot, Chief Executive, Thetes Group
Over the years he’s trained well over 15,000 people and, as a speaker and author, influenced many thousands more around the world.
Described as being better than alcohol, absolutely unreasonable, bursting with energy and enthusiasm, inspirational yet demanding, an incredibly original thinker and a force of nature, his secret to living a success life might lie with his ability to connect, inspire and support people and finding great collaborators in many different fields in places as far apart as Delhi, Kampala, Melbourne, Atlanta, Toronto and Stoke on Trent.
Linda Mattacks
Linda thrives on helping people and businesses explore and achieve their potential. For over 25 years she has trained, cajoled, managed and mentored both staff and clients, working with individuals and teams in organisations large and small to develop themselves in their job, career and business.
Having already created and run her own consultancy, training courses and programmes, much of her contribution to T9R since she became involved Spring 2008 has been developing the necessary and sufficient components to help clients qualify what they want, and consistently achieve the best outcomes with and for them.
"Linda Mattacks is one of those rare professionals who combine deep strategy-awareness with a thoroughly practical approach. She is as much a hard-nosed results seeker as she is an intuitive people person who understands what makes all of us tick… Her mature and human manner have won her business partners', colleagues' and clients’ complete trust, which has opened the door to many new opportunities for all involved."
Jaakko Alanko - MD McCann-Erickson, Business Division
Many working with T9R have found that making even small changes – often in perspective and attitude more than anything else – can result in amazing moves forward. It’s fairly simple: the more you’re prepared to put in, the more you expect to enjoy your efforts (or maybe just their results to start with), the more you’re going to astound yourself with what you can do that’s great.
Linda has taken her own and Andy's skills and experience and produced two books that are currently available in e format:
Opening Doors – to successful business networking
Redundancy - Survive and Thrive – emphasise the positive
