Since then, in New Zealand, the US and the UK, Kieran has trained lawyers, accountants, engineers, public sector workers, corporate employees and entrepreneurs. Kieran’s workshops draw on his extensive experience in sales and marketing, working in Europe, North America and Australasia across multiple industries. Moving country ten times, Kieran developed an enviable job hunting skillset that enabled him to land desirable roles with corporations as diverse as Japan’s Nissan, Switzerland’s Novartis and Germany’s Heraeus Kulzer. Using these skills, Kieran became a career coach for a multinational talent solutions consultancy. He continues career management coaching and mentoring of people ranging from students through to executives in career management. Utilising the same skillset allowed him to be a successful political candidate, a veteran of national speaking tours in three countries and the author of PersonaPR: The End of the Cold Call Era of which Brian Tracy (www.briantracy.com) says “This fast-moving enjoyable book will show any entrepreneur or salesperson how to get more customers, make more sales, and be more successful than ever before” and Dave Liniger, Co-Founder and Chairman of Re/Max (www.remax.com) says “An excellent guide for individuals to develop and maintain a no-nonsense approach to personal branding.” Kieran has been writing and speaking on personal branding since 2001. In 2009 British business guru Richard Denny(“The UK’s Guru of Sales” – The Telegraph) appointed Kieran Managing Director of his UK-based soft skills training consultancy.
